Episode notes
Life... There’s just so many pressures! The pressure to look perfect, be perfect, have a perfect family, perfect relationship, have children by a certain age, fit into a certain dress size, always be super sociable, positive and energetic.
But why do we feel these pressures? Is it society? Is it self-imposed? Is it our parents? Partners? Siblings? School? Social Media? Conditioning? Perhaps generational?
The Speakmans help to expose the source of our pressure for perfection, as well as explaining why many men are reluctant to express their emotions, and why the pressure of finding friends and partners can lead us to make poor choices.
If you don’t feel good enough, if you feel compared and criticised, and if your overwhelming desire to be perfect batters your self-esteem; this is the episode for you!
