790: The Ambitious Procrastinator's Guide to Aging: Chasing Feelings, Not Numbers with Petra Kolber

from Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon™

Join me for an uplifting conversation with Petra Kolber, author of The Perfection Detox, a DJ, and a positive psychology performance coach. We tackle the concept of the "Ambitious Procrastinator"—having big dreams but being paralyzed by self-doubt—and why perfectionism actually distances us from others rather than connecting us. Petra shares her powerful "STOP" method for halting anxiety in its tracks and reframes Imposter Syndrome not as a weakness, but as a clear signal that you are stepping into your greatness and out of your comfort zone. As a two-time cancer survivor, she offers a profound perspective on aging, urging us to "chase the feeling, not the number" and to strength train not just for vanity, but for the vitality of our future selves.
