EP14: Overcoming Perfectionism For Deeper Relationships with Kelly Covert
My whole life I was a perfectionist + overachiever. In fact, I remember shamefully throwing away a report card my senior year of high school because I made a B+ in calculus. In calculus! And it was at the college level!
The thing is, being a perfectionist + chronic achiever can lead to great things: success, financial abundance, and status.
But when you die, all those things go away + don’t matter. And as my guest today + I have learned, the perfectionist mentality keeps you from living a life of deeper meaning.
Both of us had achieved so much, in our careers, health, and even in our relationships. Yet it was never enough. We were always tired, and at the end of the day, something was missing.
Kelly + I dive deep into how the perfectionist mentality keeps you from believing you are worthy. Not believing you are worthy, even subconsciously prevents you from being able to be vulnerable. And without vulnerability, the deeper joy + love that you can experience in your relationships gets farther out of reach.
Here’s what we jam on:
Where feelings of feeling worthy + being enough have to come from
How to know the difference between a ‘perfect’ relationship + a real life relationship
How to deal with your imperfections, baggage, and being rejected, without losing your feelings of worthiness
