Description

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4 


In this episode, we take a deep dive into what I call the prison of perfect—the exhausting pattern of trying to get everything right so you can finally feel safe, loved, or in control. Join us as we explore where this need comes from, how it shows up in our bodies as pain and anxiety, and why perfectionism is really just protection in disguise.


Through inner inquiry, self-compassion, and staying consistent in our JournalSpeak, we begin to shake free of its shackles. When we let go of the pressure to be perfect, we can learn to feel safe being human instead. Join us for a really important reminder about how you might be seeing life - without even meaning it!
