The Hello Someday Podcast For Sober Curious Women Ep. 275: Perfectionism, Anxiety, and Drinking: How to Stop the Cycle
As a recovering people pleaser—and someone who coped with anxiety by overachieving, micromanaging, and trying to make sure nothing ever fell through the cracks—I know how exhausting perfectionism can be.
Because here’s the truth: perfectionism doesn’t make you better. It makes you burned out.
And it’s a mindset that can sabotage your progress when you’re trying to make positive changes—whether that’s taking a break from alcohol, stepping into a new season of life, or finally putting your needs first.
I asked mindset, leadership, and business coach Sara Dean—host of the Shameless Mom Academy podcast—to share how perfectionism shows up for high-achieving women, why it’s connected to anxiety and procrastination, and how to stop letting it keep you stuck.
