You can be a perfectionist even if you're a hot mess

from Pause Purpose Play · host Michaela Thomas

Join me as I dive into a topic close to my heart - how you can be a perfectionist, even if you’re what some might call a "hot mess." I'll explore the tension between striving for perfection and managing the beautiful chaos that comes with ADHD and I share my personal journey from unmasking my ADHD to recovering from perfectionism. This episode is unscripted, which I think beautifully embodies today’s theme: that done is better than perfect.   00:21 Understanding Perfectionism and Chaos 01:44 Navigating Perfectionism with ADHD 03:04 The Reality of Perfectionism 04:17 Self-Criticism and Perfectionism 05:56 Perfectionism in High Achievers 07:19 Perception vs. Reality of Accomplishments 08:12 Verbal Processing and ADHD 08:55 Revealing My Hot Mess Moments 09:37 Embracing Imperfections 10:46 Inspiring Despite the Chaos 13:42 Finding Your Tribe Through Vulnerability 15:25 Join the ADHD Club   If you want to dive deeper into embracing both your chaos and your accomplishments, come join me in the ADHD Club, where a group of inspiring women lets it all hang out - imperfections and all.
