🎙️ Ep 62: The Power of Imperfection – Breaking Free from the Perfectionism Trap with Jane Shires
What if the thing you’ve been calling your high standards is actually keeping you stuck?
In Episode 62 of The Mojo School Podcast, I’m joined by the wonderful Jane Shires for a beautifully open conversation about perfectionism, where it comes from, how it shows up in our everyday lives — and what happens when we finally give ourselves permission to be gloriously imperfect.
Jane brings a fascinating perspective to this conversation through her experience working in education as a SENCO specialist, her journey as a parent, and her own personal experience of recognising and unravelling perfectionist patterns.
We explore the roots beneath perfectionism: the need to get things “right”, fear of getting things wrong, people pleasing, comparison, expectations, and the ways our nervous system can learn that being perfect feels safer than being seen making mistakes.
And, importantly, we talk about what actually helps.
In this episode we explore:
* Why perfectionism isn’t always the positive trait we think it is
* Where perfectionist patterns can begin
* How perfectionism can affect children, parents, education and adult life
* The difference between striving for excellence and being paralysed by perfection
* Why self-awareness and compassion matter more than simply telling ourselves to “stop overthinking”
* Jane’s experience of beginning to recognise these patterns in herself
* Some of our favourite practical tools for fellow perfectionists in recovery
* Why sometimes done, messy and human really is better than perfect
We also wander into some of the people, podcasts and ideas that have helped Jane along the way, including Peter Crone and Mel Robbins.
And there’s a particularly lovely moment in this conversation where Jane shares some of her own experience of working with me and the deeper personal work we’ve been exploring together. ❤️
If you’ve ever procrastinated because you couldn’t do something perfectly, rewritten the same thing seventeen times, worried excessively about getting it wrong, struggled to let other people do things their way, or set yourself standards you’d never dream of demanding from somebody you love...
This one’s for you.
Welcome to the imperfect club. We’re recovering. 😉

🎙️EP61: How to Recover From Burnout Quickly (And Why Trying Could Make It Worse)
How do I recover from burnout quickly?
And what if it’s already gone too far?
How do I recover from severe burnout?
These are two questions I’ve been asked recently — and interestingly, the answer to both is the same.
Slowly. Gently. Sustainably.
I know that probably isn’t the answer you were hoping for.
Because when I experienced my first episode of burnout back in 2010, I was asking exactly the same question:
How can I fix this quickly, before anyone notices, so I can get back to normal?
I wanted to recover just enough to pick up the same impossible load, return to the same patterns, meet the same expectations and carry on being the person I thought everyone needed me to be.
And that thinking didn’t get me out of burnout.
It helped take me deeper into it.
Eventually, what had begun as burnout became severe burnout — and my body made absolutely certain that I could no longer keep living in the way I had before.
In Episode 61 of Mrs Mojo’s The Art of Feeling Better, I want to challenge the idea that burnout is something we need to “fix” as quickly as possible.
Because what if your exhaustion, anxiety, overwhelm, brain fog, irritability, inability to cope, disconnection or complete loss of motivation aren’t evidence that there is something wrong with you?
What if they’re evidence that something about the way you’ve been living is no longer working for you?
Your body isn’t betraying you.
It may be communicating with you in the only way left available to it.
In this episode, we explore:
• Why there really is no quick fix for burnout — and why searching for one can keep us trapped in the cycle• The difference between stress, burnout and severe burnout, and why the foundations of recovery remain the same• What my own burnout taught me about trying to rush back to “normal”• Some of the different ways burnout can show up in women• The Burnout Archetypes I explore inside my Burnout Recovery Guide — and why two women experiencing burnout may need very different things• How to begin listening to your symptoms rather than fighting against them• Why gentle, sustainable steps help teach your nervous system that it is safe again• And why true recovery isn’t necessarily about becoming the woman you were before burnout.
Because perhaps the goal isn’t to get your old life back.
Perhaps it’s to finally create a life in which the authentic version of you is allowed to exist.
A life where you don’t have to continually override your body, silence your needs, perform a version of yourself that keeps everybody else comfortable or prove your worth through how much you can carry.
Your symptoms are not a character flaw.
They are information.
And recovery begins when we become curious enough to listen to what they’re trying to tell us.

You don’t need another impossible recovery plan to add to your already impossible load.
Start where you are. Take the next gentle step. And allow recovery to unfold from there.

🎙️ EP60 — LIONS GATE PORTAL SPECIAL 🦁✨
What if you could take everything the last six years have taught you… and choose what happens next?Since 2020, a LOT has changed.In the world.In our relationships.In our bodies.In what we value.And, for many of us, in who we believe ourselves to be.Some things have fallen apart. Some things have fallen away. And some things we once tolerated simply don’t fit anymore.So for this special Episode 60, released for the 8/8 Lions Gate Portal, I want to invite you to do something a little different with me.✨ Look back. Look within. And then look forward.Inside Mojo School, I usually talk about wellbeing through the different parts of ourselves — our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual selves — because true wellbeing isn’t created by fixing one isolated piece of a human being.And in this episode, we’re stepping more deeply into that final quarter:🔥 The Spiritual Self.Not religion.Not bypassing difficult emotions with “good vibes”.Not pretending everything happens for a reason.But connection. Meaning. Purpose. Intuition. Energy. And that sometimes difficult-to-explain feeling that there is something bigger than the version of life we’ve been living.We’ll explore energy anatomy, shadow work and what can happen when we’re brave enough to shine a light on the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, suppressed or outgrown.And I’m inviting you to reflect on the journey you’ve been on since 2020:❤️ What has it taught you?❤️ What no longer feels right?❤️ What have you outgrown?❤️ What keeps trying to get your attention?❤️ What genuinely lights you up?❤️ And if somebody handed you a completely blank slate today… what would you choose?Because perhaps recovery isn’t simply about getting back to the person you were before burnout, overwhelm or life knocked you sideways.Perhaps it’s an opportunity to become more fully the person you were always meant to be.The Lions Gate Portal peaks on 8/8, and whether you understand that through spirituality and energy, use it symbolically as a moment of intention, or are simply curious enough to explore something different, I’m inviting you to use this moment.Reflect. Realign. Rise.Take what you’ve learned.Leave behind what no longer belongs to you.Reconnect with what matters.And start creating a life that feels like YOU again.And yes… I finish this episode exactly as I started. 😉“I incite this meeting to rebellion.” — Emmeline PankhurstMaybe it’s time for a little rebellion against everything we’ve been told our lives should look like.Come and join me. 🦁🔥✨👇 All of my Burnout Recovery & Transformation resources, ebooks, courses, Medicine Wheel pathway and ways to work with me are linked below 👇Burnout Recovery Guide Ebook:https://mojogirl3.gumroad.com/l/burnout-recovery-guideBurnout To Breakthrough Course:https://www.mymojoschool.com/course/burnout-recovery-for-womenOne to one Coaching:https://www.mymojoschool.com/coachingJane 💋Mrs Mojo#LionsGatePortal #LionsGate888 #SpiritualWellbeing #BurnoutRecovery #ShadowWork #EnergyHealing #WomensWellbeing #PersonalTransformation #SelfDiscovery #AuthenticSelf #MojoSchool #MrsMojo
