Podcasts about perfectionists

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!

Have you actually looked back at your long-term cases to see how layering compares to injection moulding? Is traditional freehand layering still your go-to for anterior composite aesthetics? Are you using it because it gives the best result — or just because that's how you were trained? In this episode, Dr. Marco Maiolino joins Jaz Gulati for a meaty discussion about injection moulding—a technique that's changing the game in anterior composites (and posterior!)

Outcome: Lighter shades minimize the risk of patient dissatisfaction and rework.

Most people think ego is the villain - the thing to transcend or eliminate. But what if ego isn't one solid thing at all? What if what you call "ego" is actually a collection of internal characters, each with their own agenda, fears, and strategies for survival?Eastern wisdom points to ego as the illusion of separate self, but modern psychology reveals something even more precise: you're not dealing with one ego - you're dealing with multiple subpersonalities, internal parts that developed to help you navigate different challenges. The problem isn't that you have an ego. The problem is that one of these parts has taken over the show.Your "dominant subpersonality" - whether it's the People Pleaser, the Controller, the Rebel, or the Perfectionist - is running your life from the shadows, making decisions, filtering reality, and shutting down other aspects of your authentic self. Meanwhile, your Creative, your Visionary, your Authentic Self, and countless other capacities remain locked away, unexpressed, waiting.This isn't about eliminating ego. This is about recognizing the internal democracy you actually are, understanding how one part became dictator, and learning to integrate all your aspects into conscious, fluid expression. When you stop being unconsciously run by one subpersonality and start consciously orchestrating your full internal team, everything changes - your relationships, your work, your creativity, your capacity for joy.ANNOUNCING: THE LIMITLESS EXPERIENCEDaniel D'Neuville is a peak performance coach, spiritual teacher, and master life and business coach.

For natural-born fixers and problem solvers, the instinct to tackle every challenge head-on is deeply ingrained. Whether facing procrastination, overwhelm, or late-night scrolling habits, the immediate response is often to search for a solution.   In this episode, I explore why the concept of "fixing yourself" may be counterproductive when it comes to creating lasting change. Drawing from Internal Family Systems theory and real-world examples, I share how shifting from a fixing mindset to one of understanding can transform our approach to personal growth and habit change.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/174

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.

Do you reflect on your experiences with self-criticism? In this episode, I revisit a powerful narrative technique called the "Once-Upon-a-Time" technique that helps you gain perspective on challenging situations and cultivate self-compassion. This two-part reflective practice transforms how you view your experiences by allowing you to step back and observe yourself through the lens of a neutral observer.   The technique involves writing about a meaningful experience twice - first from your personal perspective, and then rewriting it as if you're an anthropologist studying someone else's story. Through this process, you discover hidden thought patterns and create space for a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself and your actions.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/173

Perfectionism can feel like a badge of honor, but it often hides a deeper fear of being seen as not enough. You pour time and energy into every detail, hoping it'll protect you from judgment or failure, but all it really does is keep you stuck. There's always one more thing to fix, one more reason not to hit “go.” Eventually, progress slows to a crawl, and what started as high standards turns into quiet self-sabotage. It's exhausting chasing an idea of success that never lets you rest. Claus Raasted doesn't just talk about change—he's lived it. After leading the world's biggest LARP design studio, a major career reset pushed him to rebuild from the ground up. Now a consultant and educator, he helps people cut through perfectionism and self-sabotage to unlock what actually works. He emphasizes using your strengths, not fixing every flaw, and speaks honestly about the traps of overthinking and burnout. His message is clear: success isn't about doing everything—it's about doing you better. Stay tuned! Resources: Are you looking for an overpaid rockstar consultant to help you with GETTING SHIT DONE?

If perfectionism is your favorite weakness, this one's for you. Dr. Ellen Hendriksen, clinical psychologist and author of How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists, joins Vic to unpack the roots of perfectionism, how it shows up in everyday life, and why so many of us feel like we have to earn our worth. They explore the difference between healthy ambition and toxic self-criticism, how to find that middle ground where you're still growing without burning out, and what it really means to practice self-compassion. Vic opens up about her own struggles with perfectionism—from how playing D1 volleyball enhanced her inner critic to why she regrets overplanning Max's 30th birthday—and shares the tools she's learning to prioritize presence over performance. Whether you overthink, overachieve, or feel like you're never quite doing enough, this conversation will help you let go of the pressure and embrace the messiness of being human.Website: ellenhendriksen.comInstagram: @ellen_hendriksenBook: How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists by Dr. Ellen Hendriksen// SPONSORS // Quince: Treat your closet to a little summer glow-up with Quince.

Do you feel like your urges seem to have a mind of their own? Those compelling impulses to check your phone, eat something sweet, or pour another glass of wine often feel like unwelcome intruders in our carefully planned lives. However, urges aren't problems to fix—they're messengers trying to communicate something important.   I'll share a powerful metaphor that changed how I understand urges, along with practical prompts to help you decode what your urges are really trying to tell you. By approaching these impulses with curiosity instead of judgment, you can transform your relationship with them and access deeper self-knowledge. When you understand what drives your urges, you gain the freedom to choose how you respond to them.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/171
