Does perfectionism feel like the reason you're successful and the thing that's exhausting you at the same time? In this episode, I sit down with author and workplace expert Susan Schmitt Winchester to talk about the roots of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the constant need for external validation. Susan shares how childhood experiences follow you into the workplace, why everyday triggers send you into old patterns of fear and self-doubt, and ways to regulate your response. Tune in to learn how to loosen perfectionism's grip without giving up your ability to do great work.Check out our sponsors:Shopify - Sign up for a $1 per month trial, just go to shopify.com/anxiousachieverMonarch - Use code ACHIEVER at monarch.com to get 50% off your first yearWhatnot - Get free shipping on your first order.
