52. Moving Past People-Pleasing and Perfectionism with Kim Gross

People-pleasing and perfectionist tendencies can show up in many ways. Maybe you put everyone's needs ahead of your own or say yes to invitations you're not excited about just to keep the peace. Perhaps you procrastinate or overspend time on projects because they have to be just right. If you don't have the right tools and awareness around these behaviors, they can take a major toll on your well-being.   Today I connect with Kim Gross, a people-pleasing and perfectionism coach and creator of the 5-Step Power Pathway. She helps guide clients on a journey of self-healing so they can have more meaningful connections and the courage to create the life they desire.   Kim shares with us how her perfectionist mask was born, the root cause of people-pleasing and perfectionism and how many of these behaviors are rooted in fear. We also get the opportunity to talk through the 5-step P.O.W.E.R. Pathway and how to reclaim yourself and your power.   Kim and I would love to know what you connected with from today's episode.  Share today's episode on Instagram and be sure to tag us - @masksoffcommunity and @Whitneywoman!   Here's what to look forward to in today's episode:   How tendencies of perfectionism and people-pleasing played out in Kim's life before she had the tools and awareness that she does now How the perfectionist mask was born Ways to know if you're a perfectionist or a people-pleaser The root cause of people pleasing and perfectionism The difference between being a "human being" and a "human doing" 5 Step P.O.W.E.R.
