280: Dealing with Perfectionism in Grad School
Aug 16, 2024•38 min•Ep 280•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
In this solo episode, I discuss the popular topic of dealing with perfectionism in grad school. I explore the systemic roots of perfectionism and how it impacts first-gen BIPOC students. I also offer practical strategies to set realistic goals, embrace a growth mindset, and practice self-compassion.
The book I referenced on this episode is the Self-Compassion Skills Workbook by Tim Desmond (2017).
I also wrote an accompanying blog post on "Overcoming Perfectionism" which you can read here.
