Podcasts about perfectionists

When you learn to anchor into your own worth, the world no longer gets to decide how you feel about yourself. Beatriz Victoria Albina brings powerful insight and clarity to the conversation on nervous system regulation, emotional outsourcing, and the lifelong practice of coming home to yourself. With equal parts warmth and wisdom, she shares how healing begins when we stop chasing external validation and start reconnecting to the safety, belonging, and worth that already live within us. This conversation is a gentle call to shift from survival mode to self-anchored living—where authenticity and inner peace can finally take root. Key Takeaways: Emotional outsourcing happens when you rely on others to define your safety, worth, or sense of belonging. Nervous system dysregulation can show up as anxiety, over-functioning, or emotional numbness—and it's more common than you think. Healing doesn't mean eliminating big emotions; it means learning how to feel them without abandoning yourself. Anchoring into your truth requires self-awareness, self-regulation, and a commitment to coming back to center—again and again. Regulation is a daily practice, not a quick fix—and community, nature, and breath are powerful allies in that process. About Beatriz Victoria Albina: Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, author of the forthcoming "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits" (expected Sept 30, Hachette Balance) and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping humans socialized as women to reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems and rewire their minds, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people pleasing and reclaim their joy. She is the host of the Feminist Wellness Podcast, holds a Masters degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. Born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, Béa grew up in the great state of Rhode Island. She has been working in health & wellness for over 20 years and lives with her wife, Billey Albina.   Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

Have you ever tried to “think your way” into feeling better, only to feel stuck in the same patterns? It's easy to fall into the belief that changing our thoughts will automatically change our emotions and habits. But what if the solution isn't about forcing yourself to think better thoughts? What if it's about understanding emotions in a deeper, more compassionate way?   In this episode, I revisit the ideas I first shared on an early episode of the podcast about how to feel better. While I once believed that changing our thoughts was the key to lasting change, I now realize it's only part of the equation. By shifting from trying to manage your feelings to understanding and relating to them, you can create the lasting changes you've been seeking.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/182

What if perfectionism is the real reason you haven't finished your novel—not lack of talent or time?"I need to get this right before I move on" keeps aspiring authors stuck forever. But here's what I've discovered... Perfectionism isn't about having high standards. It's about fear. Fear of judgment, failure, or not being "good enough."In this episode, you'll hear from three reformed perfectionists who broke free from the endless editing trap and finished their novels. Meet Pornika, who delayed starting for months thinking she needed every detail figured out first. Amy, working on her eighth novel but never finishing because she'd spend weeks perfecting each chapter. And Kara, who wrote 100,000 words but got overwhelmed trying to fix its problems.None of them lowered their standards. Instead, they discovered something far more powerful: how to write messy and make real progress.In this episode, you'll learn:[03:10] How a corporate finance professional went from months of planning paralysis to 114k words in 88 days using the fast drafting technique that changed everything[05:15] Why a writer starting her eighth novel finally broke her pattern of endless chapter editing and discovered the foundational skills that put her "in the power seat"[06:00] Why understanding theme, genre conventions, and scene structure actually makes writing easier and more enjoyable, not more restrictive[07:30] The "magical revisions" technique that lets you keep moving forward without getting bogged down in details you haven't figured out yet[09:00] The structural breakthrough that helped one writer transform a problematic 100k-word manuscript into a publishable novel[15:00] How to shift from perfectionist paralysis to forward momentum without sacrificing the quality you care aboutReady to stop polishing and start finishing?

In this episode, I'm sharing 12 thoughts that helped me create content in a really easy, enjoyable, sustainable way that has proven to be really effective for my perfectionist brain. I wanted to record this in response to a PGSDer who posted about starting a podcast inside my group coaching program Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD). These thoughts will help you create content simply and easily, and they can also be applied to other areas of your business to empower you to show up fully. Because yes, there might be some technical things that you need to set up when it comes to content creation. But trusting yourself – or what we call self-trust – is the most important ingredient so your perfectionist brain can create high-quality content easily. I've made over $2 million in my business, most of which has come from this podcast, and the times I've made the most money and the most impact with people have been when I'm in a high level of self-trust. Tune in and find out why this is the case for perfectionists, and discover the 12 thoughts that will make content creation easy and effective. Enrollment closing soon: Join Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD) to learn how to create consistent content without burning out. Doors are now officially open until 11:59pm EDT on Friday, 25 July. To sign up today and get instant access to everything inside, visit samlaurabrown.com/pgsd.

Have you ever tried to change by simply thinking a new thought, only to feel frustrated when the change doesn't happen as easily as promised? The idea that if you just change your thoughts, you can change your life has been a cornerstone of personal development for years. But what if it's not the whole story?   In this episode, I'm revisiting a concept from an early episode, where I taught "thinking a new thought" as the key to change. While this cognitive behavioral approach helped many of my clients, I now realize how incomplete it is. Our experience is shaped by much more than our thoughts. It's influenced by our nervous system, memories, trauma, and even cultural systems. I'll explain why thought work is useful but not enough, and why real change involves understanding the deeper layers beneath our thoughts.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/181

No one hands us a playbook for how to speak up with courage...but over the years, I've learned that if I want to grow a business with integrity, I can't keep tiptoeing around the truth.In this episode, I'm sharing the exact mindset shift and 5-step framework I use to lead difficult conversations—whether it's with a team member, a client, or someone I love.Episode Highlights:

Have you ever received a compliment or acknowledged a success, only to immediately deflect or downplay it? Or perhaps you've accomplished something meaningful but instead of feeling proud, you start to focus on what could have been better? This tendency to minimize our strengths and dismiss our progress can be so automatic that we don't even realize we're doing it.   In this episode, I explore why we minimize ourselves and how to relate to this habit differently. What I once saw as just a bad mental habit to fix, I now understand as a protective strategy—a part of us trying to keep us safe from vulnerability, judgment, or failure. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems, embodiment, and nervous system regulation, I'll show you how this tendency serves a purpose and how we can start to shift it.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/180

Ever wonder why you can crush it at work but fall apart when it comes to your health goals? This episode exposes the sophisticated saboteur living in your head and reveals why self-sabotage intensifies right before breakthrough moments.

Have you ever been so angry about something, voiced your concerns, advocated for a solution, maybe even cried over it, only to have nothing change? The situation remains the same, the person doesn't budge, and your anger lingers, leaving you stuck. What now? In this episode, I explore the exhaustion that comes when we're angry about something that won't shift.   You'll discover why anger becomes exhausting when there's no external resolution, what emotions typically hide beneath it, and how to redefine resolution as an internal process rather than an external outcome. You'll also learn practical ways to work with your anger so you can continue advocating for what matters without being undone by what you can't control.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/179

Perfectionism is one of those things that can seem like a strength on the surface, but often masks things like fear of rejection, anxiety, and a deep exhaustion from always striving. In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tara Cousineau, a Harvard University clinical psychologist and author of The Perfectionist's Dilemma who has worked with high achievers for over two decades.   Tara brings both clinical expertise and personal experience to this conversation as we explore what perfectionism really is, why it shows up, and how we can begin to shift out of the cycle of never feeling enough. If you've ever felt stuck in the pressure to perform or found it hard to rest without guilt, I know this conversation will resonate with you deeply.   In this episode, you'll learn: The different types of perfectionism How to meet perfectionist parts of you with compassion instead of resistance Using IFS (Internal Family Systems) to heal perfectionism How body-based practices support healing from high expectations A simple mindset shift to soften your inner critic daily   Connect with Tara and learn more about her book, The Perfectionist's Dilemma: www.taracousineau.com www.perfectionistsdilemma.com   ——————— 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. ———————

 What happens when a rigid devotion to rules, order, and perfection replaces our ability to feel, connect, and live? In this episode, we explore two moving character studies from Fredrik Backman's novels A Man Called Ove and Britt-Marie Was Here. Through Ove and Britt-Marie—both fictional but deeply familiar—we see the beauty, heartbreak, and potential of the obsessive-compulsive personality. These stories show what can go wrong when emotional life is outsourced or buried—and what can go right when we begin to reclaim it. From tragic emotional isolation to unexpected transformation, this conversation offers insight, humor, and hope for anyone trying to loosen the grip of perfectionism.

In this Q&A-style episode of Life Rewired, Kristina answers real questions from clients, DMs, and check-ins covering everything from reverse dieting to hormone health and breaking up with perfectionism. She kicks things off by addressing a common frustration: why your hormones might still be off even when you're "doing everything right." Spoiler: clean eating and workouts are only part of the picture. She dives into the role of stress, blood sugar, and sleep, then transitions into bloat, explaining how gut health issues (like low stomach acid or dysbiosis) can still show up even when your meals are nutrient-dense.Kristina then talks through how to stay consistent without falling into the perfectionist trap, reminding us that the 80/20 rule is where real results happen. She breaks down how to know if a reverse diet is right for you, what a hormone-friendly workout split looks like, and how long it actually takes to feel better. She also answers a nuanced question about healing hormones while on birth control, giving actionable tips for replenishing nutrients and supporting your body.This episode is packed with actionable takeaways for anyone navigating fatigue, plateaued progress, or the pressure to do it all perfectly.

I'm so excited to have a new pal, Alana Carvalho, a licensed mental health counselor, on the show to talk about two topics we're both passionate about: codependency and perfectionism! We talk about why these two things go together, our experiences of being in recovery from both, what inspired Alana to create The Codependent Perfectionist brand, how to ease up on perfectionism and codependent behaviors, and so much more.  I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!

You'll learn practical ways to shift from reflexively fixing or avoiding difficult feelings to approaching them with curiosity and compassion.

In this heartfelt episode of Typology, Anthony and I sit down with Elizabeth Husserl—an Enneagram One with a Two wing and the author of the beautiful new book The Power of Enough: Finding Joy in Your Relationship with Money. Elizabeth's story begins over two decades ago when she first encountered the Enneagram. What followed was nothing short of transformational. Her work with the Enneagram didn't just shape her inner life—it helped heal her marriage and completely reframed her understanding of wealth. In our conversation, she invites us to imagine a richer, more expansive definition of money—one rooted in connection, belonging, and wholeness rather than scarcity and striving. Together, we explore: How the Enneagram can deepen personal growth and strengthen relationships Elizabeth's evolving relationship with money and what it's taught her The role of financial “DNA” and how we can begin to rewrite our inherited money stories Grounded practices for living with “enoughness” in every area of life If you're curious about how the Enneagram intersects with your financial story—or simply hungry for a more soulful approach to money—this episode is full of wisdom, vulnerability, and grace. You can learn more about Elizabeth's work at ElizabethHusserl.com, and follow her on Instagram @ElizabethHusserl for more insights.
