If you've ever felt like you have to do it all, do it well and never let anything fall, you're not alone. Many high-achieving moms feel the constant pressure to perform, believing excellence will keep them safe from judgment, from failure, from falling behind or from letting someone down. But how do we know when we've crossed the line from successful to harmful?
In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I sit down with Dr. Tara Cousineau, a clinical psychologist, meditation teacher, coach and author of a new book, The Perfectionist's Dilemma: Learn the Art of Self-Compassion and Become a Happy Achiever. Dr. Cousineau specializes in guiding individuals and organizations to cultivate inner worth, self-compassion and authentic leadership.
Together we explore what perfectionism is, why so many ambitious moms struggle with the pressure to perform, signs that our perfectionism has crossed the line from healthy and motivating to harmful, what actually happens to our nervous system when we're constantly “on,” the three biggest mistakes people make when trying to break perfectionist habits, and simple first steps for letting go without lowering our standards.
