How I became a Perfectionist

Episode description
Ever wondered why you’re so hard on yourself?
In this episode, I share the story of how I became a Perfectionist - from the early signs I didn’t have a name for, to the moment it all clicked, and the ways it’s shaped every part of my life. Career, creativity, relationships, rest… nothing has escaped its grip.
I talk about what I’ve learned along the way, how my understanding of Perfectionism has deepened, and how that might relate to your own experience - even if you’ve never used the word “Perfectionist” before.
And if you’re curious to discover your unique flavour of Perfectionism, I also share early access to a new personality test I’ve been creating.
This one’s personal — and it might help make a few things make more sense for you, too.
