Ep 81: Reflections on Perfectionism and Honouring our Journey's

Written By Helena Bradbury

Want your question answered on the podcast?

In this the first episode of 2024, Cath shares some reflections on how complex it is to move away from perfectionism and how when we have these tendencies we are never satisfied with where we are in life.

Many of us have scripts (or radio shows!) running in our heads that are much more about the past and hamper our enjoyment of our lives. Cath shares an example of this from her own life and suggests an exercise for you to do at the beginning of 2024, an exercise to celebrate and honour yourself and your journey.
