Why Can’t I Be Like Them? Feeling Pressure To Be Perfect

Life... There’s just so many pressures! The pressure to look perfect, be perfect, have a perfect family, perfect relationship, have children by a certain age, fit into a certain dress size, always be super sociable, positive and energetic.

But why do we feel these pressures? Is it society? Is it self-imposed? Is it our parents? Partners? Siblings? School? Social Media? Conditioning? Perhaps generational?

The Speakmans help to expose the source of our pressure for perfection, as well as explaining why many men are reluctant to express their emotions, and why the pressure of finding friends and partners can lead us to make poor choices.

If you don’t feel good enough, if you feel compared and criticised, and if your overwhelming desire to be perfect batters your self-esteem; this is the episode for you!

Providing you with an avalanche of tips to help you embrace your incredible originality, this episode will make you realise why you are already perfect, and why it’s totally okay to be unique.

With discussions around thin and over-plucked 80’s eyebrows, the beauty of curvy ladies, why Gerard Butler and Vicky Pattison are great role models, and how to deal with pressures imposed by your boss, teacher, parent, family, friend or partner; this really is the ‘perfect podcast’.
