How I tamed the perfectionism beast
For years, being a perfectionist was my identity. It was a socially acceptable (and often praised) way to mask debilitating anxiety and chronic depression.
I was the high-achiever, the go-getter, the one who was always putting in 110%, and the girl who looked on the outside like she had her act together. But on the inside, I was always one misstep away from completely falling apart.
The journey to loving my full self was long, difficult, and often painful. But it was also incredibly eye-opening, life-changing, and freeing. I learned how to be okay with making mistakes, how to accept myself for who I am—flaws and all—and how to find joy in the everyday moments of life.
It wasn't easy. But today I'm able to say with total honesty that I love my full, imperfect self—exactly as I am.
So—how did I do it?
Truthfully, it was a combination of multiple methods paired with the willingness to go deep and discover what's been hiding underneath my so-called perfect surface. After years of experimenting, I've finally found what works:
-
Healing my inner child and inviting more play into my life
-
Journaling and writing books about my journey
-
Deconstructing what drove my perfectionist identity
-
And so much more
I went to some deep places and made stunning discoveries. In my books, I share the steps I took to heal from depression I hadn't acknowledged for decades and how I created lasting joy. In my programs, I guide others to tweak and implement these steps for themselves to create a life that feels good—on their own terms.
