  • Releasing Perfectionism and Embracing Good Enough
    Feb 28 2023

    If you’re anything like me, you’ve gone at least a few rounds with the beast known as perfectionism.  In this episode, I share from the heart about my experiences and how I navigate perfectionism within my own creative practice.

     

    I share:

    • How perfectionism shows up for me and where it comes from
    • How our culture perpetuates perfectionism and what we can do about it
    • Ways that perfectionism can manifest and its effects on the creative process
    • My go-to strategies for shifting perfectionistic patterns

    The book I mentioned in the episode is Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach.

    The exercise I mentioned is adapted from Marie Forleo's How to Get Everything You Want.
