Podcasts about Perfectionism

Tycoons are devoted to relentless optimization. If they are founders of a hotel chain, they just might delay the opening of a new property for two months if the marble they ordered for the restaurant is not the precise color. If they are a tech company founder, they'll insist on getting the product to Mona-Lisa-level exquisiteness before it's released (Steve Jobs wanted the icons on the iPhone to be so magical users would want to lick them). If they are entertainment titans they'll be relentless in making sure that their film or album is astonishingly well made, no matter how much they have to suffer to get the job done at rare-air standards.My latest book “The Wealth Money Can't Buy” is full of fresh ideas and original tools that I'm absolutely certain will cause quantum leaps in your positivity, productivity, wellness, and happiness.

It's not about being a perfect Christian. Struggling with faith is part of the journey. Anxiety can cloud our spiritual clarity. Finding balance is essential in Christian living. Self-acceptance is key to spiritual growth. Trusting God is a daily choice. Perfectionism leads to unnecessary anxiety. Maybe I don't trust God enough. Why am I even like this?

SummaryIn this episode of the Gird Up podcast, host Charlie Ungemach engages with Pastor Johnny Lehmann to discuss the challenges young men face in finding their identity through a Christian lens. They explore the concept of Christian masculinity, the influence of the Manosphere, and the importance of community and accountability in the journey of faith.

I'm a woman trapped in a man's body analysing dating advice for women given by a man. In #505 of 'Meanderings', Juan and I discuss: three dating and relationships books (The New Rules, Get the Guy by Matthew Hussey and Attached), how prescriptive “rules” aimed at women can backfire, why some advice feels outdated (Facebook walls and BBM), how scarcity games tend to attract the very players you might want to avoid, why attachment styles are useful as a lens but less so as a to‑do list, a focus on authenticity over mere effectiveness, watch the influence of your friend circle, understand how strong male sexual drive can shape dating dynamics, apply Pareto principles to health and appearance first, build an interesting life (travel, skills, community) and learning to read yourself so you don't try to fill loneliness with just anyone.No boostagrams this week, very sad puppy.Stan Link: https://stan.store/meremortalsTimeline:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:47) The books: The New Rules, Get the Guy & Attached(00:04:21) Lot's of Don'ts(00:07:12) Perfectionism and the hunt for Mr Right(00:11:09) Who this attracts: playing games gets game players(00:16:21) What men reportedly dislike(00:20:25) Quick verdict on The New Rules & Switch To Matt Hussey(00:25:48) Practical prompts: compliments, conversations, and friendly vibes(00:30:15) Brief detour to Attached: anxious, avoidant, secure(00:39:24) Boostagram Lounge(00:41:15) Effectiveness vs authenticity: advice for daughters(00:45:00) Masks, faking confidence and why acts won't last(00:48:00) Be interesting: travel, stories and easy conversation openers(00:55:14) Broad advice: the male mind, sex drive, and expectations(01:02:26) Pareto squared: health and appearance(01:07:09) A raw moment: walking through Brisbane and feeling loneliness(01:11:24) Closing reflections Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast

Let's talk about perfectionism, control and self-reliance.

Perfectionism in the Christian life will drive you to despair. Licence in the Christian life suggests your faith is fake. What are we to make of all the commands to obedience? Is it okay to sin? What is “the flesh?” Is it related to our physical flesh, our bodies? Are we doomed to failure until glory? Is there any point to trying to not sin?

I'm one of millions of women specifically trying to parent themselves while parenting children… and it can be seriously exhausting. And when childhood trauma still comes back to haunt us in midlife and beyond, life can feel impossible.  That's why I've invited trauma expert Anna Runkle on for this powerful episode to help unpack why so many midlife women are still impacted by old trauma, and how that buried stress shows up in our bodies.  We dive into the hidden ways trauma can lead us to isolate, dysregulate our nervous system, and disrupt key hormones like cortisol, dopamine, and serotonin.  Anna and I break down how this cascade of stress and deregulation can spark inflammation, oxidative stress, blood-sugar swings, and even contribute to autoimmune issues that so many women face.  But most importantly, Anna shares simple, compassionate tools to help regulate your nervous system and finally begin healing the deeper patterns driving overwhelm in midlife.  Ready to feel more grounded in this season of life? Hit play and listen now! Anna Runkle Anna Runkle is the creator of the popular YouTube channel, blog, courses, and coaching programs that provide tools for adults to heal dysregulation and other common trauma symptoms, helping them feel better and change their lives. Anna's methods were developed through research, her mentoring of hundreds of individuals over the years, and her direct experience healing her own symptoms of early trauma. She's the author of Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck and Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel (At Last) Like You Belong.  IN THIS EPISODE Understanding nervous system deregulation  How Anna learned to adapt after childhood trauma  Symptoms that can manifest from over-functioning  How to manage stressors and stay regulated day to day  Top ways we can start to regulate, especially when deregulated  How connection can be a huge tool for healing  Free resources and where you can find more from Anna!  QUOTES“All these weird symptoms that I had… It's neurological dysregulation. It's really normal. Everybody gets dysregulated sometimes, but those of us who are traumatized as kids are often more prone to it. It happens more easily. It's more intense. It's harder to get out of.” “Early trauma is very strongly correlated later in life with high rates of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, reproductive disorders, just about everything bad.” “Those three things– dysregulation, disconnection, and self-defeating behavior– those are the things that can just take you out and keep you stuck in trauma forever. So the good news is you can learn to reregulate.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Anna's Book: CONNECTABILITY: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, And Feel (At Last) Like You Belong HERE Order Anna's other book: Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck HERE Anna's Website Anna Runkle on YouTube Anna Runkle on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  681: The Biology of Trauma: How Stress Gets Stored in Your Body (and Passed On to Your Kids) and How You Can Start To Heal with Dr. Aimie Apigian #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey 685: End Emotional Outsourcing: Break Free from Codependency, Perfectionism & People-Pleasing with Beatriz Albina #308: What Is Trauma and How Does It Make Us Sick? with Dr. Elena Villanueva

Victoria sits down for the kind of life update you'd give your best friend when everything feels like… a lot. She opens up about the burnout she's been pushing through, a major (and expensive) business mistake, team changes, and what it's been like to juggle a nonprofit, a podcast, and a full creator career without losing herself in the process. She talks about the fear of stepping back, the pressure to constantly show up online, and the nagging feeling that something in her life needs to shift. Vic also shares the mindset breakthroughs she had at a recent Peter Crone event, why she's craving more freedom and adventure, and how she's trying to slow down enough to hear her own voice again.

This episode  brings a focus to the problem of perfectionism and how it can silence our natural spontaneity, turn our innate passions into stone and cancel the imagination and creativity that are natural to our souls. Perfectionism can be paradoxical in the sense that it can foster an egotistical sense that we are better than others or plunge us into feelings of inferiority and inadequacy.     Michael Meade uses an old tale to show how the quest for perfection is a hopeless endeavor that operates as a kind of spell that continuously leads us away from our deeper sense of self and soul and prevents us from finding a genuine sense of self-worth. Rather than trying to be perfect, the true aim of life is to become a whole person. Becoming whole involves making mistakes and having faults, but also finding forgiveness and healing.     No one is perfect, yet each soul is unique, having true self-worth within and a genuine aim in life that waits to be discovered. In the end, it is not perfection, but the uniqueness of the individual soul that makes each person meaningful, purposeful and innately valuable.     Thank you for listening to and supporting Living Myth.

I got bullied so badly as a gay kid that I decided the only way to survive was to be perfect at everything. School, sports, music - I would outperform everyone around me, always.This “survival mechanism” worked for decades. Until April of this year, when it nearly destroyed my business.I was facing repeated failure. My launches weren't hitting. My revenue was inconsistent. And my entire nervous system was screaming that if I couldn't be perfect, I wasn't loveable. So I had two choices: quit, or fundamentally change who I was.I chose to change. And what I discovered changed everything about how I approach motivation, resilience, and building a business that lasts.In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact process I used to sustain my motivation in the face of failure - without powering through or doing more. Because here's what most people get wrong: you can't fight a lack of motivation with more effort.You have to change the way you see yourself and what you're capable of. You have to build the capacity to feel unwanted emotions and have your own back, no matter what happens.I'm breaking down the 4-step process that allowed me to keep going when everything felt like it was falling apart - and how you can also follow it in your own business.If you've ever felt like quitting, or you're stuck in a cycle of perfectionism that's burning you out, this episode will show you the way forward.This is the foundation for everything I teach in my advanced workshop: The $250K Revenue EngineYou can't build a sustainable revenue engine without first building the internal capacity to handle setbacks, stay motivated, and keep showing up when results aren't immediate.In this workshop, we're going deep on both: the inner work of finding your purpose and the outer work of aligning your business to that purpose. This is about determining your personal and professional "why" - a vision powerful enough to sustain you through the inevitable challenges of building a business.If this episode resonates with you, this workshop will take you further.Register now at: https://coachdonohoe.com/revenue-engine-webinar-register Use discount code HOLIDAYMOMENTUM for 100% off at checkout.Royalty Free Music from Tunetank.com Track: Urban Legend by Musical Bakery https://tunetank.com/track/3362-urban-legend/

Join Traci and Emily Erstad, author of It's Not That Deep, regional operations strategist, executive director in hospice, and soulful leadership coach, as they explore how to break free from the mental loops that keep us stuck—and still lead with heart.Spoiler alert: Being a deep thinker and deep feeler is a gift, but staying there indefinitely is the problem.Emily unpacks why so many high-achieving leaders and HR professionals get trapped in what she calls the "doom loop"—where perfectionism, overthinking, and taking ourselves too seriously becomes the very thing that blocks our progress. You'll discover how to leverage emotional intelligence without letting it become an excuse for avoiding accountability, and why boundaries and vulnerability aren't opposites—they're both essential to building trust.What We Cover:– The doom loop that keeps deep thinkers trapped in unproductive cycles– Perfectionism as a self-diminisher and team drainer– Trauma dumping versus authentically sharing hard things– Why "triggered" has replaced actual disagreement and conversation– Setting boundaries without sacrificing your authenticity or kindness– The difference between over-empathy and strategic compassion in leadership– Culture is about knowing your team's limits, not pizza parties– Using vulnerability strategically to build trust and transparency– The next frontier in leadership: moving beyond "emotions are valid" to action– Observation and reflection as the antidote to reactive leadershipKey Quote: "You are important, but you're not that important. You're adding a lot of responsibility to yourself that's so unnecessary, and it's just going to drive you nuts.

Perfection sneaks into medical training so quietly that you may not notice the weight of it—until you are already carrying too much. Austen and Sanila are joined by classmate, Jade Kho, for a conversation about imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and the moments that made them question whether they were "good enough" for medicine. They unpack the hidden standards students carry, the struggle of wanting to excel while still learning, and how reframing self-doubt can open the door to actual growth. For anyone who has ever felt behind, inadequate, or like everyone else has it figured out—this one is for you.

You've done the vision boards. Set the goals. Showed up with discipline. And still – something feels off.If you're a high achiever who's done all the things and still doesn't feel like you've arrived, this one's for you.Jessica Eley breaks down why smart, driven women stay stuck even when they know what they want. Spoiler: it's not your vision, your strategy, or your discipline. It's your capacity – your ability to handle not just what you want, but everything that comes with it.We talk about:Why "I don't know what I want" is about being unpracticed, not brokenThe real reason you might be more afraid of success than failureWhy labelling things good/bad keeps you smallHow your nervous system determines your income ceilingThe balance between owning what you want and having the capacity to handle itThis Episode Is For You If:You've done the vision board thing and you're still stuckYou hit your goals and felt... nothingYou want more but can't seem to let yourself reach for itYou're tired of being the strong one but don't know how to be differentYou keep trying new strategies but the same patterns keep showing upYou're doing everything right and still feel like something's missingYou're starting to wonder if the problem isn't your plan — it's something no one's named yetThis isn't about manifesting harder or the next manifestation hack.

Most men don't believe they struggle with perfectionism. They just believe they need to work harder. Be stronger. Do more. Prove more. Never slow down. But what if the constant pressure you live under isn't strength at all? What if it's a trauma response your nervous system learned a long time ago? In this powerful episode of the REBUILT Podcast, Michael-David, dad and mindset coach, breaks down the hidden form of perfectionism in men that shows up as burnout, emotional shutdown, chronic overthinking, fear of rest, relationship tension, performance anxiety, financial pressure, and a relentless inner critic that never lets you feel finished. Using trauma psychology, attachment theory, and neuroscience, this episode explains why perfectionism is not a personality trait ... it is a survival strategy formed in childhood when safety became tied to performance. Through a raw personal story rooted in control and impossible standards, Michael-David reveals how the nervous system learns the belief: “If I'm perfect, I'm safe.” This episode will help you understand: The true psychological definition of perfectionism Why men tie their identity to productivity, income, and achievement How shame disrupts learning, emotional regulation, and decision-making Why overworking, procrastination, control, and emotional withdrawal share the same root How your brain's fear center drives perfectionism through the nervous system A simple, neuroscience-based reset to interrupt perfectionism in real time How to separate your worth from your performance And how faith, identity, and healing work together in rebuilding a man from the inside out Most importantly, this episode delivers something many men have not felt in years: relief. Relief that there is nothing wrong with you. Relief that your nervous system adapted to survive. Relief that you don't have to earn your worth. Relief that growth does not require self-destruction. Relief that God meets you in the rebuilding, not after perfection. If you struggle with anxiety, burnout, overthinking, emotional control, relationship tension, fear of failure, or feeling behind in life no matter how much you accomplish, this episode will feel like language for your inner world. You don't need to become someone else to heal. You just need to stop carrying this alone. You're not broken. You're becoming.

They unpack what it means to die to perfectionism and empower emerging leaders through intentional coaching, not just busywork.If you've ever felt torn between excellence and delegation, this episode will equip and inspire you to release control, train well, and invest in the next generation of ministry leaders.Key Topics Covered• The true purpose of an internship program• Why leaders must let go of perfectionism to multiply impact• How to connect every task to Kingdom purposeKey Quote“Somebody took a risk and put my sorry self in the game. We need to do the same for someone else.”Scripture ReferencesEphesians 4:11–12 – “...to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.”Philippians 2:3–4 – “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”TakeawayGreat leadership isn't about doing everything perfectly—it's about giving others the chance to lead, fail, and grow under your guidance. An internship done right shapes both the intern and the leader into more patient, people-focused servants of Christ.Call to ActionWe hope this episode encourages and equips you.

Perfectionism isn't just about color-coding your pantry or needing straight-A's. It's the quiet, relentless voice that tells you you're never doing enough, being enough, or eating “good” enough. In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Delliquadri, a Midlife Fitness Coach who helps women rewrite the stories they've been telling themselves about their body, their habits, and what's truly possible after 40. Her work blends mindset, movement, and mindful habit change to help women build strength, confidence, and ease in their bodies—without burnout or perfectionism.Together, we unpack how perfectionism hides behind control, over-functioning, and “doing everything right,” while silently fueling anxiety, food obsession, and dissatisfaction in your body. Jennifer shares her own powerful story of hitting burnout, rediscovering herself in midlife, and learning how to feel good in her body without chasing numbers, rules, or approval.You'll learn how to:Recognize the sneaky ways perfectionism shows up in your health and eating habitsRebuild trust with your body (even when it's changing in midlife)Stop turning every wellness goal into another “project” to perfectBring curiosity and compassion into your food and body journeyStart feeling good again—without guilt, control, or overthinkingIf you've ever thought, “I'm doing everything right… so why don't I feel better?” — this conversation will be the wake-up call you didn't know you needed.Tune in if you struggle with:All-or-nothing thinking around food or exerciseFeeling disconnected from your body after years of dieting or overachievingMidlife body changes, perimenopause, or burnoutLetting go of control and trusting yourself againConnect with Jennifer:InstagramTik TokSubtle Shifts Podcast✨ Watch my FREE workshop: How To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food to start healing today

OCD and perfectionism can mix together so seamlessly that people often don't realize they're dealing with two different patterns. Both can show up as a fear of mistakes, avoidance, overchecking, or the feeling that nothing is ever “good enough.” But OCD adds another layer — intrusive thoughts, compulsions, mental rituals, and a need for certainty that turns everyday tasks into high-stakes situations. Understanding how these two interact is key to knowing why some behaviors feel like “just perfectionism,” while others lock you into a full-on OCD cycle.In this episode of the Get to know OCD podcast, NOCD therapist and author Taylor Newendorp joins Dr. Patrick McGrath to break down where the two overlap and where they split. He also shares how certain types of therapy help people loosen rigid standards, challenge the rules they've built around performance, and relearn what “good enough” actually means.NOCD specializes in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy, the gold standard treatment for OCD.

Metrics and "self-tracking" could be making you miserable. In recent years we have seen the rise of tracking metrics such as sleep, mood, habits, steps, water intake, and so much more, along with the pursuit of maintaining streaks, closing your rings, and other ways of gamifying health and wellness habits. However, if you struggle with perfectionism or are a high achiever, these forms of improving your physical and mental health could be causing you more pressure, guilt, and self-criticism than you realize. In this episode, I'll be diving into why, along with how you can use digital tools more mindfully to support your health and well-being, rather than sabotaging them.   In this episode, you will learn: How metric-tracking can negatively reinforce perfectionism The harmful mental health effects of streaks and the gamification of mental and physical health How to use digital tools intentionally, rather than having them control you   Related episodes: When "Balance" Becomes Unhealthy: https://www.becalmwithtati.com/unhealthy-balance/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/NuVSTYstoX4 The Balance Between Self-Compassion & Discipline in Getting Things Done: https://www.becalmwithtati.com/self-compassion-discipline/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/riJqMgaC3rI   Sources: Experiences of using mental health apps to support psychological health and well-being: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/19367244231196768 Self-criticism, goal motivation, and goal progress: https://selfdeterminationtheory.org/SDT/documents/2007_PowersKoestnerZuroff_JSCP.pdf Perfectionism and Eating Disorder Tendencies In Calorie-Tracking App Users: https://research.ebsco.com/c/5x2dc3/search/details/owh4uehmnj?db=aph Research on self-compassion: https://self-compassion.org/what-is-self-compassion/#research-on-self-compassion   Mentioned in episode: Finch App: https://finchcare.com/ How We Feel App: https://howwefeel.org/   ——————— Calmly Coping is a self-improvement podcast for high achievers who struggle with high-functioning anxiety to help you feel more calm, balanced, and confident from within. ———————

Your plant-based practice isn't limited by your motivation, your recipes, or your compassion — it's limited by its weakest link. In this episode, Michele explores the Theory of Constraints and how a single bottleneck can shape your vegan practice, your daily choices, and even your confidence.Using a classic car-factory example, Michele breaks down how systems stall when one step is overloaded — and how the same thing happens in our own lives.

Perfectionism is a trap, and today we're talking about how letting go of it can transform your productivity, time management, and overall happiness. Why? Because embracing 'average'—yes, average—is actually the secret to freeing up your time, energy, and mental bandwidth for the things that really matter. I know, I know, the word 'average' doesn't sound appealing. Nobody wants to feel mediocre, right? But here's the truth—most of us waste so much energy trying to be ‘perfect' at things that don't actually move the needle forward in life. And when we focus on perfection, we burn ourselves out and have nothing left for the stuff that truly makes life extraordinary.In this episode, I'll share why embracing 'good enough' in the areas that don't matter—like household chores, decluttering, or even certain work tasks—can give you more time to focus on what does matter. I'll also explain how taking shortcuts, like my ‘Do It Shitty' method, can actually lead to more success, not less. Whether it's cleaning your house, improving your career, or strengthening your relationships, I'll show you where you can cut corners, save time, and still get things done without the stress of perfectionism holding you back.   #clutterbug #podcast #mondaymotivation #motivation #mindsestshift #doitshitty   Website: http://www.clutterbug.me YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@clutterbug TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/  

We love to talk about authenticity at work… right up until someone actually shows up as their full, messy, human self and makes everyone clutch their pearls. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be yourself at work with Claude Silver — the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX and author of Be Yourself at Work: The Groundbreaking Power of Showing Up, Standing Out, and Leading from the Heart. We get into the difference between authentic presence vs. executive presence, why “that's just who I am” is usually “fear” in a cute outfit, and how to stop armoring up at work without turning every meeting into group therapy. We talk about perfectionism, people-pleasing, power dynamics, calling people in (instead of just calling them out), and what it actually costs you and your company when you leave the real you at home. If you've ever wondered how to bring your heart into a workplace that's still obsessed with your hustle, or how to belong without shrinking or pretending, this conversation is your permission slip to stop faking it and start leading from the heart. We Explore: What authenticity at work really means (and why it's not “I say whatever I want, whenever I want”) The difference between confidence and authenticity – and why you need both How Claude defines authentic presence and why “executive presence” is starting to feel outdated Perfectionism as a confidence derailer and how it quietly kills trust, connection, and creativity How to share your real life (kids, chaos, hard mornings) at work without oversharing or dumping Navigating power dynamics when a client, boss, or leader says something that goes against your values How to find “your people” at work Gen Z and Gen Alpha aren't being “difficult” — they're just done with workplaces that value performance over personhood. They expect companies to evolve, not the other way around. If leaders want to keep and motivate this generation, they need to ditch command-and-control and lead with humanity. Authenticity isn't a bonus anymore — it's the baseline. Thank you to our sponsors!
