We all have perfectionist tendencies, as a recovering perfectionist myself I understand this issue on every level. Sorting out the foundational complaints that arise with perfectionism. Guiding clients in a gentle way and assisting them in finding their path. Perfectionists think in black and white terms. Learning a style of compassion and respect is key for a healthy relationship with yourself and with others.

There is no perfect way to be there for someone who is going through tough times. But one of the most important ways to help revolve around letting them know that they are loved, supported, worthy of care from others, that they can ask for help and they can be listened to without judgement or criticism.

Don’t put pressure on yourself to say the perfect thing. And if you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything and focus on being present with them. Ask others in the support system if there’s anything you ca do behind the scenes.

Check in with yourself- if you don’t have the bandwidth to listen to them, don’t offer your help.

Figure out a way to be there for them in other ways. If you don’t know what to say because it’s going to come off judgy or rude, keep it to yourself and process elsewhere.

Later, you can find the time to discuss ways to avoid these situations from happening again, if that’s even a possibility.

Trust that your relationship means so much that you don’t have to do anything more than to show up for them. That’s a testament to your relationship, the solutions will follow.

At some point controlling people places and things becomes exhausting when you’re avoiding or fighting the chaos.

Feeling, seeing, processing, learning, and moving with reality not against it is the only way through the chaos.

You can’t skip the steps of the process until you see the process for what it is and even then, until you learn how to manage your emotions, you’re in it and you loop over and over and worse yet, drag others into it.

Until you learn what lesson each person represents in your life and how to disarm the triggers, you’re in it.

You can analyze it, get the origins of it, but if you exclude the logic behind emotions, you won’t get very far. At all.

This is the work. You can wait for the chaos to take form in full swing or you can prepare. But the work is there regardless.

If you keep hitting the same wall in your life, it’s not random.

It’s life trying to show you a pattern that won’t shift by thinking it through.

Most perfectionists I work with already know what’s wrong. The insight is only step one out of the three that break a pattern and create a new one.

When we understand and choose different ways of engaging in life, everything changes. The uncomfortable arguments at the dinner table you thought were inevitable, the rapid heartbeat from the angst of speaking your truth, the missed opportunities you keep praying to comeback - all begin to show you that there is power in awareness and in change. That what you thought ā€œis what it isā€ only applies to that specific mentality and the actions that follow it, not as an absolute ultimatum.

You don’t need more information. You could use a guide who ca help you see what you can’t see and shift in real time.

If you’re stuck in the saw loops in relationships, parenting, leadership- here is your signal.

Not later, not when it gets worse. Now.

DM me clarity and let’s discuss if this work is a right fit for you.

It’s really something else when you live with a healthier mindset.

I remember the days when I truly believed that I could not go to the beach because my body wasn’t perfect for a bikini.

I remember the conversations with colleagues around self- doubt despite the fact that I clearly knew topics well enough to teach to others.

I took myself for granted- not wanting to own what I already had because there was always so much more to go.

I remember the beginnings of dismantling the ā€œonce- thenā€ mindsets that postponed happiness and fulfillment. I started to feel okay and happy without attaching to external benchmarks.

Guess what happened? The benchmarks come and I keep moving forward. Each time with gratitude for the information I receive and synthesize to teach others.

If you find yourself in this endless pit of achievements without fulfillment, maladaptive perfectionism may be the culprit. And if you’re looking to live it out differently, set up a consult and let’s get to work.

I’m grateful to the women who bare their hands and show their grit, respect, and responsibility to their life.

Who take the time, energy, and attention to focus on improving their life and the relationships in it.
It’s no joke and it’s the greatest gift.
And for the guides who continue to do innerwork to know themselves so they know others more.
Share this with someone who needs to hear it.

I was born with a tooth.
Imagine to my mother’s surprise, her first newborn bobbling with a tooth jutting out bottom gum line.

Breastfeeding was painful and bottle feeding was trending so that was that. My brother was born 15 months later and my sister 2 years after that. Needless to say, my young mom had her hands full.

I was (am) a vivacious and curious person and she just didn’t know what to do with me - so, I did what most kids do - bother her, test her, and then act perfectly outside our house - use all of the manners and decorum my parents taught me with everyone else.

Perfection was the standard and the alternative was punishment.

The lesson was - if you don’t behave and agree to what someone else in power says - you will suffer in life.

This creates a split in the personality- I want, I believe, I know, but those can’t be correct or can’t be received because they don’t follow another person’s plan.

When you live life like this - you act perfectly, you learned the rules a loong time ago. But inside is chaos. Questions constantly - how do I look? Do they like me? Do they value me? How can I behave so I avoid problems?

It’s exhausting for many reasons beyond the scope of this post.

Vulnerability which is being authentic- seems like a liability- but it’s your biggest asset and the solution to this whole ordeal.

When you remedy the split within you- you foster meaningful lasting relationships. You let go of the emotions and judgment attached to these stories that once defined you and gain the wisdom to live and do better.

Here’s how a mother breaks or makes her child’s confidence in their ability to make it.

When she remembers how she solved hard things and uses that as her metric to guide her emotional reaction to her child’s problem and then as a guide to model how to go about dismantling a tough situation.

That’s it and that’s a lot if she spends her time berating herself or only seeing her life as a set of failures or missed opportunities.

But- when she honors her life - her pride and struggle, her love, the power behind her nurturing, then her concern stays real but her delivery is cleaner just as powerful to support her child through their life endeavors.

This is across her lifespan and her child’s. It’s ever too late to change how you deal with your kid’s issues. But the sooner - the absolute better. Share this with someone you thought about while reading it - it may help them and their child’s experience of life.
