103. Cultivating Self-Compassion – Letting Go of Perfectionism
Update: 2025-07-31
Description
In this episode of The Wholehearted Series, we explore the powerful shift from perfectionism to self-compassion. Perfectionism ties our worth to performance, fueling fear, shame, and disconnection. But self-compassion offers a new way—one rooted in kindness, common humanity, and mindful awareness.
We unpack:
- The difference between self-esteem and self-compassion
- How perfectionism mirrors a fixed mindset
- Why many of us resist self-compassion (hello, Backdraft)
- And how learning to meet ourselves with tenderness can transform how we live, relate, and grow
Letting go of perfectionism isn’t about lowering the bar—it’s about reclaiming your worth, exactly as you are.
