80. The Evil Twins: How Perfectionism & Goodism Are Controlling Your Life | Live Brighter Episode 80

Are you stuck in the trap of perfectionism or constantly trying to be the "good one"? In this episode of Live Brighter with Tara, I dive into the destructive dynamic of what I call the evil twins—perfectionism and goodism—and how they silently sabotage your mental health, relationships, and personal growth. In this episode of Live Brighter with Tara, we're diving deep into the twin traps of perfectionism and goodism—the toxic patterns that silently sabotage your happiness, health, and relationships. I'll share how these tendencies are rooted in past experiences and unhealed emotional wounds, and why constantly striving to be "enough" often leads to burnout, anxiety, and disconnection from your true self. You'll learn how to recognize these patterns in your own life, understand the cost of perfectionism, and take steps toward embracing self-love, self-acceptance, and freedom. This conversation will give you powerful insights to stop chasing external validation and start living from a place of inherent worthiness. Tune in now and start your journey toward wholeness and emotional freedom.   For more information and FREE STUFF: https://www.livebrighter.info/ Get the free Barf Plan HERE - scroll towards the end: https://www.livebrighter.info/resources For free affirmations: https://forms.wix.com/92afa3c4-cdce-4001-8b89-7d69785eeab9:0b817886-a600-4dee-9177-f0847ad749cc Get the Unravel Notebook Here: https://www.amazon.com/Unravel-Notebook-Tara-Wolfe-Schaan/dp/B0CTPDWJ8L/ref=sr_1_1?crid=8HEZHNF2F962&keywords=unravel+notebook%2C+schaan&qid=1707165877&sprefix=unravel+notebook%2C+schaan%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-1     PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS: 00:34 Understanding Perfectionism and Goodism 03:28 The Burdens of Perfectionism and Goodism 07:34 Transforming Perfectionism and Goodism to Enoughness and Freedom 11:17 Enjoying the gray and Our individual differences 14:23 Nurturing Enoughness and Self-Acceptance   Follow us on our Socials!  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livebrighterwithtara/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Live-Brighter-with-Tara/61552844352218/ Listen on apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-brighter-with-tara/id1706176973 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XRuiEdnUyrHjXi0kA5F8H Grow 1% each day, I believe in you!
