#14 – Overcoming Perfectionism: The Trap That Keeps Us Stuck
Overcoming Perfectionism:
Highlights from This Week’s Episode of The Sh*t They Should Have Taught Us in School*
- The Perfect Illusion: Perfectionism isn’t about getting things right. It’s about chasing an unattainable ideal that keeps us stuck. Trina shares why “perfect” is a myth and how letting go of it can open up new paths for growth.
- The Perfectionism-Shame Connection: How our desire to do things “perfectly” can bring up feelings of shame when we inevitably fall short. Trina talks about why shame and perfectionism often go hand in hand and how acknowledging this link can help us move forward.
- Walking Through the Fog: Trina uses the metaphor of a foggy path to explain how taking small steps forward—without seeing the whole picture—leads to greater clarity and growth over time. Letting go of “perfect” can make space for creativity and unexpected breakthroughs.
- Who Sets Your Standards?: Are you aiming for “perfect” because of your own beliefs or because of standards set by others? Trina encourages listeners to question where their beliefs about perfection originated, helping them redefine success in a more personal and realistic way.
If you’re ready to break free from perfectionism and its limitations, I invite you to listen to the full episode of The Sh*t They Should Have Taught Us in School.
