Have you ever missed out on social gatherings because of a wardrobe meltdown — feeling so bad about how you look, that you just canceled the whole thing and stayed at home? I have.Other times I made it out the door, but I was so obsessed with how I looked that I couldn't be present. For more than a decade, losing weight was one of my main goals in life. My happiness was more or less correlated with my weight. I was obsessed with finding the next perfect diet. I spent so much energy comparing myself to others, judging myself, and trying to shrink myself.Looking back, I realize now all of this kept me operating at my lowest standard of what it means to be a human being. And I know I'm not the only one.This episode is about body image and specifically how a negative body image destroys your self-worth — and how it keeps so many high-achieving women from actually living their lives. I'll also share what it means to heal your body image, what's really going on underneath all the body obsession, and what you can do to begin changing this from the inside out.Find the full transcript at thetheselflovepath.com/5.Ready to Create a Life You Love?

4. Perfectionism Isn’t Ambition — It’s an Addiction
This episode is about perfectionism. Perfectionism robs us from joy. It shows up looking like ambition, hard work, high standards. Society eats that shit up. You get praise, gold stars, promotions. But underneath it all, there’s fear. Fear of not being good enough. Fear of rejection. Fear of being unloved. Perfectionism can show up anywhere. In work, in your body, in your relationships, in how you eat, and how you show up in life. It can make living hard.This episode isn’t about “just stop being a perfectionist.” Because if it were that simple, you would’ve done it already. It's about understanding what perfectionism actually is and how it's a powerful doorway to healing and true greatness.If you’re tired of your own pressure, if you feel like it’s never enough — this one’s for you.Fint the full transcript at theselflovepath.com/4 Ready to Create a Life You Love?
