In this episode, we focus on how to find freedom from perfectionism. It is with the incredible Michaela Thomas. Michaela specialises in perfectionism and its ties with stress, anxiety, depression, productivity, procrastination, burnout and overall wellbeing.
Throughout August I have a break from recording new episodes to reset, take a breath, and reconnect with the family. During this period, we re-release the most downloaded episodes from the past 6 months.
Michaela helps ambitious working mothers burn bright without burning out, using her Pause Purpose Play framework in group coaching and 1:1 therapy. She is also a senior Clinical Psychologist, CBT psychotherapist and author of The Lasting Connection – develop love and compassion for yourself and your partner. She is also a friend of Motherkind.
In this episode you are going to learn about:
• how to not be so hard on ourselves
• how to avoid burnout
• how to develop a better relationship with our inner critic
One thing I know for sure is that we need this episode. Please share it if it resonated with you.
And, you can also hear Zoe on Michaela’s podcast here: Perfectionism and Generational Trauma, with Zoe Blaskey - The Thomas Connection
