Description

Perhaps perfectionism’s just a quirk in your life, you’re not even sure what it is, or what it has to do with you - then this episode is for you.

I make the case for why it’s worth getting curious about perfectionism—not just as a personality trait or habit, but as a powerful, often hidden force shaping how you feel, work, relate, and live. You don’t have to call yourself a perfectionist to benefit from exploring it.

This isn’t about diagnosis it’s about self-understanding. In this episode, I offer some reflections on what perfectionism really is, how it works in the shadows, and what might become possible when you see it more clearly.
