In this week's episode of Let Perfect Burn, I sit down with Sarah Tomakich, a Licensed Sex Therapist. Sarah learned to fly airplanes as a young woman in her attempt to escape her home of origin. Later in her life, Sarah's divorce brought her back to the ground— she found her own therapist and was forever changed.

Through her own therapy, Sarah began a journey of unpacking all of the pieces of herself that she had kept closeted —her perfectionism being very effective at protecting her from pain.

Sarah's devotion to her continued work on her own self-discovery is what allows her to show up for her clients as the most authentic version of herself as she can be.

Now believing with her whole heart that love is infinite and that every piece of her deserves to be seen and heard, Sarah has found another chapter in her life where both she and her clients are allowed to show up fully and allowed to believe that they are, by nature of being alive, enough.

Some highlights in this Episode from Sarah:

" It's important to be curious about ourselves and to have a way of developing a very connected inner world. To be able to ask, 'What does my inner world look like? And what does it give me? And why did I need to protect it from somebody?'"

" I needed my perfectionism. It helped me, it protected me from some things that happened to me. But now I don't want to live as protected anymore. So I think that this idea of it burning away is the idea of whatever is underneath is the woman I want."

" I no longer feel the need to be different than I am today. That what I'm offering, who I am is loving and messy and disappointing. But enough. Enough for me and enough for those around me. And that... that is my recovery."
