In this first conversation on perfectionist recovery, we unpack what it means to live fully as a fallible, complicated human — and why rejecting the “hard half” of life only makes us suffer more. We’ll look at how to:

• Stop weaponizing your pain and discomfort

• Hold space for negative emotions without letting them run the show

• Start embracing your more challenging qualities as part of what makes you most lovable

• Truly have your own back

The invitation is simple: let all of you be here. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s the only way to live a full, rich life that actually feels like yours.

Intentional thoughts to foster:

I am amazing when I’m up, I’m amazing when I’m down

I am lovable when I’m on good behavior

I am lovable when I’m on bad behavior

All of me is acceptable

All of me is allowed

I am worth supporting

I am easy to root for
