    Are you a perfectionist? In today’s episode, we’re taking a deep dive into what perfectionism really means, especially for those who feel they’re constantly struggling to keep up with their dreams or feel a fear of failure. This is a common theme among my coaching clients, and it’s often connected to deeper issues, like childhood trauma.

    Here’s what we discuss:

    The Perfectionism Cycle: Understanding how perfectionism can start in childhood and persist into adulthood, often affecting your “inner child.”The Challenge of Being in the Moment: Why perfectionists often struggle to stay present and how this affects everyday life.Recognizing Perfectionist Patterns: Learning to identify signs of perfectionism as the first step toward breaking free.Embracing Your Authentic Self: Steps you can take to overcome perfectionism and work toward a more genuine, slow living life.

    If you’re ready to let go of the need for perfection and embrace a more balanced life, this episode is for you. Listen in to start breaking the perfectionism cycle and become more comfortable in your own skin.

    In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Marie Martin, the inspiring author of Get Your Spark Backand creator of the popular Finding Joy website. Rachel shares her journey as a lifelong entrepreneur, mother, and a woman who has overcome significant life challenges, including raising a child with celiac disease and navigating a divorce.

Rachel also opens up about teaching her children the value of money and responsibility, and why she believes it’s so important for women to know they are never alone, especially during times of reinvention and finding new friendships.
