45: When ‘Perfect’ Becomes a Problem: Breaking Free from Performance-Based Worth

from Rise Up with April Poynter Hosted by April Poynter

Send us Fan Mail We’re conditioned from childhood to believe our worth is tied to how perfectly we perform - at the doctor, at work, or in life. In this video, I share how a simple blood pressure reading in 2011 sent me spiraling, and what I’ve learned since about separating who we are from what we do. Whether it’s blushing, getting feedback at work, or chasing “perfect,” this is your reminder that your value is not up for debate. Support the show
