Healing Perfectionism with Empathy - with Josh Martino and Natalie Egan

Text us: What Vision do you want to manifest?

Have you ever gotten triggered and done something really embarrassing?

I did... right after I hit publish on Season 1 Episode 9 - which was about embracing imperfections and rolling with intuition. When you listen to that episode, you can hear the joy in my voice about starting my new holistic space organizing business, Room to Transform.

Right after I hit publish, I picked up my Choate Alumni Magazine, The Bulletin, opened to my high school class' section... and read one guy's most perfectionist  class note! 
It sent me spiraling!

To discuss the surprising outcome of my action, I invited  "perfectionist", Josh Martino (he/him), President of Home Team Restaurant Group,  to be my guest.

I also invited our classmate, Natalie Egan (she/her), who is a Trans Woman and founder of Translator.inc, a tech company focused on teaching empathy in the workplace.

Yes, it can be done! It's a new  frontier organizations can't afford to ignore.

Together, we reflected on our experiences of perfectionism and empathy; and the importance of active listening.

Thank YOU for listening, my visionaries!

P.S. I'll leave you with a 1995 song lyric that intuitively came to me during this episode.

Slip inside the eye of your mind,
cause you know you might find,
a better place to play.

Don't Look Back in Anger, Oasis
