For most of my life I had no idea that perfectionism was my greatest enemy, especially when it disguised itself so beautifully as motivation and aspiration. I knew it wasn't just my calling, but my duty to share the magic remedy with the rest of the world desperately struggling with this issue. As a recovering perfectionist, through my book, my talks and my coaching programs I offer people the opportunity to identify how perfectionism has impacted their life personally and professionally. I also give actionable tools everyone needs to regain their peace, confidence, and happiness.
You will walk away from this chat with:
- A better understanding of how to choose happiness over perfection
- Tools to regain your peace
