About this listen

Did the title of this episode give you a visceral response when you read it? If you did, youโ€™re not alone.

In our culture, weโ€™ve been incentivized to believe that perfection is the objective that solidifies our enough-ness. But in this episode, we dispel the myth of perfectionism, and expose its harmful effects.

We deep dive into the true causes of perfectionism - its intersections with white supremacy culture, and trauma and the differences between what it means to be a high achiever and a perfectionist.

At the conclusion, Ina leaves the community with a few tried and true action items, including โ€œdaring to be averageโ€ for 2 weeks, to combat perfectionist tendencies.
