Welcome to another episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s podcast episode is about being a perfectionist and/or overachiever and why you should take the “good enough” challenge
If you’re a perfectionist and/or overachiever, you have likely known this about yourself for decades. You probably label yourself as such. You have probably also seen some positive outcomes from your tendency to approach life this way.
However, there are also some personal challenges and perhaps even negative outcomes that are typically related to having these personality traits as well. You can create pain for yourself as well and it may be something you want to work on improving.
You’re invited to play with the concept of tweaking your standards about something to be “good enough” instead of perfect. Three steps are explained with examples to help you do just this.
You’re going to get so much from this episode! Enjoy!
