Description

Perfectionism can fuel excellence or trap you in endless self-critique. In the finale of our four-part perfectionism series, psychiatrist Dr Christian Heim breaks down eight research-backed strategies that flip perfectionism from burden to super-power. Learn how to trade paralysis for progress, harness logic (and when to drop it), and even turn so-called “flaws” into finish-line advantages. If you’re tired of never feeling “good enough,” hit play, then keep the transcript handy for quick reference. Practical, compassionate, and yes, recorded to the soothing backdrop of birdsong, this episode shows you how to let perfectionism work for you, not against you.
