In this episode of the Shift Happens podcast, hosts Robin McIntire, a certified life and transitions coach, and Monique Eckes, delve into the topic of perfectionism and how it can undermine personal and professional goals (if not the healthy version). The discussion emphasizes recognizing the subtler, often subconscious ways perfectionism manifests and offers practical steps to counteract its effects. The hosts share personal anecdotes, explore societal pressures, and provide actionable advice. Listeners are encouraged to embrace self-compassion and the idea that perfection is an unattainable standard. Robin also highlights her Spark Session Plus, a coaching offer designed to help individuals overcome their perfectionist tendencies and unlock their potential.00:33 Understanding Perfectionism01:56 Identifying Perfectionism in Yourself03:45 Perfectionism in Health and Fitness04:33 Perfectionism in Goal Setting07:09 Personal Stories of Perfectionism10:38 Perfectionism in Celebrations and Parenting14:32 The Pressure of Perfection15:14 The Consequences of Perfectionism16:17 Breaking the Cycle of Perfectionism17:21 Embracing Imperfection20:22 Practical Steps to Overcome Perfectionism21:16 Introducing Spark Session Plus23:38 Final Thoughts and EncouragementWe'd love to hear from you!
