Perfection is a prison (how I got trapped in my own image)

I bet you're wondering how I got here (hehe... maybe not).In this episode, I share more about my relationship with perfectionism. From childhood praise to pedestal expectations, I share how being seen as “perfect” shaped my identity, my sense of belonging, and how I presented myself to the world. This is the story of how I've started unraveling those patterns and how I’m learning to show up as my full, imperfect self.You can also watch this episode on YouTube, here: https://youtu.be/umxnUyDSAJsNEW HERE? ::Hey, I’m Andréa Ranae – an artist, speaker, and big-hearted human practicing grace while the world is burning.
