TOP POINTS FROM THE EPISODE:1. Nothing releases perfectionism like being a parent- you have to let go of expectations and rigidity and learn how to go with the flow whether you like it or not! 2. Being in a relationship forces us to be called out on our “stuff” and not live in a box in our thinking. 3. Reminding ourselves daily when we wake up and get out of bed, we are imperfect beings with character defects and that the errors we may make allow us to grow as people. 4. Learning what grounds us and practicing the art of self-care daily. 5. Making humor a daily ritual practiced in our personal and professional worlds. 6. Being authentic and living true to our values to the best of our ability helps remind us that we are humans, not robots.7. There are so many people pleasers out there! Many people feel that if I do everything perfect no one will see how much pain I’m in.8. Perfectionist vs striving for excellence! Perfectionist is going after the unobtainable! 9. Remind yourself that we’re all imperfect beings.10. Learning what grounds us and practicing the art of self care! The primary relationship is the one with you! 11. Staying true to our values! Speaking our truth and walking our message!
