EPISODE 540: Being a perfectionist means you’re always trying to achieve an unattainable ideal that is constantly shifting.

And although perfectionism might be seen as a good thing in our industry, the truth is that it can often lead to burnout. It can impact both your personal and professional life, leaving you always dissatisfied and running after something that’s impossible to achieve.

So, how do you let go of it?

This is exactly the question we ask our guest on The InvestHER Podcast this week, Dr. Robin Buckley.

Dr. Robin is a neuroscience expert who specializes in mindset and behavior change, helping individuals overcome perfectionism and self-doubt.

Together, we’ll be discussing why perfectionism is actually a barrier to progress, what drives this feeling, why you need to redefine your goals, the best strategies to counteract perfectionism, and so much more.
