Perfectionism isn’t just about high standards—it’s about the pressure to earn worth through flawless performance, constant achievement, and never making mistakes. In this episode, we explore the three core types of perfectionism—self-oriented, socially-prescribed, and other-oriented—and how they silently shape our mental health, relationships, and self-worth. We unpack where these patterns come from, how they show up in everyday life, and what it looks like to soften them with compassion instead of hustle. If you’ve ever felt like “enough” is always just out of reach, this conversation is your invitation to let go of the pressure and come home to your humanity.
