58 | Embracing Imperfection: Finding Freedom from the Shackles of Shame and Perfectionism

I once believed that if I could only achieve perfection, I would be immune to criticism and rejection. Little did I know, this pursuit was a road paved with self-doubt and harsh self-judgment. Joining me on this episode of The Fit Soul Podcast is Rachel Stuart, a therapist with a wealth of knowledge in mental health counseling, as we unpack the complex relationship between perfectionism and shame.  We share our own experiences and professional insights to guide you through the maze of perfectionist traps that can ensnare anyone, regardless of how orderly their life appears on the surface.
