About this episode

Vic recently experienced a pivotal unlock in therapy about her core beliefs and how her perfectionism is holding her back. In this chaotic life update, she shares how her therapist guided her to this newfound perspective and how she’s implementing systems and practices to help her reduce stress and anxiety, and quell her perfectionistic tendencies. She gives recent examples from working with Max and her team to illustrate how her ideas of success and internal sense of urgency may work to her advantage and disadvantage at times, and the changes she has made to invite more peace and happiness into her life. If you are in a funk or struggle with perfectionism, this episode is for you!
