Kyla Roma - Burning Down The House Perfectionism BuiltLook out, perfectionism. We’re coming for you!

Today I’m excited to share a podcast interview that I did with Sarah from The Sarah R. Bagley Podcast: A Recovering Perfectionist’s Guide to a B+ Life.

First let’s clarify something: Sarah’s ideas about living a B+ life aren’t about settling for something that’s less than great, it’s about living in that territory of “good enough” that can make a perfectionist’s skin crawl!

But we all know that when we can’t accept things as being “good enough” and move forward, that we become paralyzed.

Our creative work never sees the light of day, we beat ourselves up, and redouble our efforts to be perfect.

Or in Sarah’s case, you start talking to other people about how they’ve dealt with it in their lives and keep pushing past it!

In the interview I share:

  • What I love about living in Winnipeg, Canada
  • How I came to blogging and started working online
  • What perfectionism means to me, as someone who’s self-taught in their field
  • How I manage having Generalized Anxiety Disorder & Depression and working for myself
  • Where I’ve given myself permission to suck
  • How I deal with being open to online criticism (a perfectionist’s worst nightmare!)
  • How I’ve made ease into my top priority in life, and have learned how I can be a high achiever in a way that actually feels good to live!
