Welcome to episode 9, season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! This week's episode was inspired by the book The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler. This episode is especially for you uncaged women out there who have ever been called "perfectionists" (and not in a positive way) or who have struggled with letting go of this aspect of yourself. What if you didn't have to?

We dive into:
- What if perfectionism isn't an obstacle that we need to overcome?
- How men are rarely, if ever, called perfectionists in a derogatory way
- How perfectionism relates to exceptionalism and how our society tells women it's better to embrace being mediocre
- Maladaptive vs. adaptive perfectionism
- How perfectionism can be a strength, if we work with it
- What is needed for those who have experienced or seen their perfectionism as an obstacle to transform it into an ally?
- Setting intentions vs. goals and why we need both
- How society benefits from maintaining our focus on end goals and ignoring the pleasure of the process
- The 5 different types of perfectionism as identified by Ms. Schafler
- The importance of creating nourishing structures in our lives
- The problem of seeing maladaptive perfectionism as a immutable identity
- Why both Laura and I hate the idea of "how you do one thing is how you do everything"
- How Laura's new offering of Stop Hitting Snooze with Laura and Suze is perfect for perfectionists who struggle with starting or finishing new projects

- Why it is imperative to know why you are going into business to begin with and remembering that throughout the journey

- How so much of coaching feels like it has become an MLM

- The nature of exchange and why we might want to question the modern dream of making boatloads of money by doing nothing

- Finding your own sustainable rhythm

- How work can easily start to fill all your hours as an entrepreneur and other traps we fall into

- The importance of finding right-fit clients and the perils of having an agenda for our clients
