You Were Never Meant to Be Perfect: A Sacred Talk on Releasing the Exhaustion of Getting It Right

Tired of the relentless pursuit of getting it right? Perfectionism is exhausting because it is endless. This sacred talk explores where it started, where it lives in your body, and why the world keeps feeding it. You are not a project. You were never meant to be perfect.The goalpost keeps moving. You achieve the thing and immediately see what is lacking. You solve the problem and find three more. You are doing everything right and wondering why you are so exhausted. This is a sacred talk for perfectionists — not a technique, not another thing to optimise, just permission to stop. I speak from clinical training (attachment, nervous system, family systems) and honest observation about the world we live in: the curated lives, the productivity worship, even the wellness industry that profits from your inadequacy. You were never meant to be perfect. You were meant to be you. By Abi Beri | Somatic Therapist & Integrative Practitioner
