Burnout's A B*tch and Perfectionism Will Kill You

from Interrupting Racism Hosted by Alexandria J Smalls

The effects of burnout are real. I have been dealing with a lifelong struggle in a cycle of perfectionism and burnout. Over the last few months I have been recovering from my most recent burnout as I overworked myself trying to complete this first season. Does this sound relatable? I know I'm not the only one who lives like this. In this episode I mentioned two sources; the first is a YouTube video by Dr. Tracey Marks, Pathological Perfectionism Explained! What it Means and How to Cope & an article by Amy Morin via Forbes, 9 Signs You're A Perfectionist (And That's Not A Good Thing) Support this podcast!
