Overcoming Perfectionism: Your Best Can Always Get Better

Suzanne discusses the pressures of always striving to do your best and how it can often lead to feelings of inadequacy and fear of failure. Drawing from her own experiences, including a challenging presentation in medical school, Suzanne explores how adopting the mindset that 'your best gets better' can alleviate these pressures. By sharing stories of her children's struggles and successes in learning new skills, such as bike riding and spelling, she illustrates the importance of persistence, practice, and the understanding that improvement is a non-linear journey. The episode encourages listeners to embrace growth, accept setbacks, and recognise the value in consistent effort and resilience, emphasizing that doing your best means allowing yourself the space to improve.
