The Episode I Almost Deleted: A Case Against Perfectionism

from inside OUT: Navigating the Mental, Emotional & Spiritual with Jojo · host Jojo Cottle

This week Jojo does something a little different. No studio, no polish, no edits. Just a mic, a patio overlooking the water, wind in the background, and yes, even a bee.Because this episode is about the very thing that would normally make her scrap it: perfectionism.Who told you everything has to be buttoned up before you're allowed to show up? Why does the pressure to be the perfect parent, partner, professional or version of yourself always land on the one person who never makes the list: you? And what actually happens to connection, creativity and flow when we finally stop performing and get honest about the messy middle?Jojo gets into it mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and leaves you with one small, slightly uncomfortable challenge you can try today.Consider this the prologue. A deeper conversation on the psychology of perfectionism, burnout and self-betrayal is coming soon with a therapist, so make sure you're following the show.Take your shoes off, step outside, and press play.Send me a MESsage :)Thank you for listening!
