Perfection Pressure is a podcast about the cause and effect of perfectionism in high-performing individuals. Seen as a sign of strength, success, and achievement, perfectionism is idealized in most cultures. The results of living in this flawless way can be, at best, admiration and achievement, and at worst lack of joy, high-stress, anxiety, or depression. This podcast aims to discuss personal experiences, uncover the why, understand the drive, and brainstorm ways to manage perfectionism in our fast-paced world.
We all strive for our best, but sometimes we strive for perfection—and that perfection never lasts. Today, Brooke looks at how things can fall apart, and what leads to that breakdown. Every moments of our lives is so meaningful, and learning how to recognize and deal with the fallout of perfection pressure is vital to being our best.
