The Perfectionism That Is Not About Excellence

from Auntie Please · host ALLNSTUDIOS

Why do we clean the house before the cleaning service arrives? What starts as a joke turns into a real conversation about where perfectionism actually comes from. Coach and educator Naila joins Zee and Saema to unpack the difference between fear-driven perfectionism and healthy high standards, why perfectionism is a safety strategy rather than a personality trait, and what it costs — time, energy, and the ability to be present at your own party. Plus: the coaster rule, the inner critic, and a permission slip to be 80% instead of 100%. Auntie Please content is for educational purposes only and it is not medical advice.
