Perfectionism + NWP Episode 78
Happy Friday friends! Today’s podcast episode is a special one! We are honored to have Simi Botic on the podcast today discussing her story about recovering from perfectionism.
It’s a story I deeply resonate with. With I reflect back on my entire life, I always wanted to be perfect. For who? For others. Ultimately, perfectionism for me stemmed for lack of confidence in myself and trying to be someone else for those around me. Like so many of us, I learned at a young age what it took to fit in and out of fear of rejection, abandonment, not being liked- whatever you want to call it- I hid myself. I hid under things like striving for the perfect looks, the perfect body, perfect grades, perfect diet and being perceived as the perfect person. As you could imagine, since there is no such thing as being perfect, it kept me on a hamster wheel of never feeling enough. Breaking free from those chains was one of the best things I ever did for myself.
If you resonate with this at all, I truly cannot wait for you to listen to today’s episode of the Nourishing Women Podcast with Simi Botic. She shares her empowering story of the destructive power of people pleasing, recovering from perfectionism, how perfectionism played into her disordered eating and so much more.
