Episode Notes
In this episode of the Shift Happens podcast, hosts Robin McIntire, a certified life and transitions coach, and Monique Eckes, delve into the topic of perfectionism and how it can undermine personal and professional goals (if not the healthy version). The discussion emphasizes recognizing the subtler, often subconscious ways perfectionism manifests and offers practical steps to counteract its effects.
The hosts share personal anecdotes, explore societal pressures, and provide actionable advice. Listeners are encouraged to embrace self-compassion and the idea that perfection is an unattainable standard. Robin also highlights her Spark Session Plus, a coaching offer designed to help individuals overcome their perfectionist tendencies and unlock their potential.
