Perfectionism: Breaking Free from the Need to Be Flawless

Being imperfect is what makes you authentic, unique and fabulous.
Ever felt crushed under the weight of your own expectations? Jessie Rowe knows that feeling all too well. In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovering Mentally', Jessie gets real about her struggle with perfectionism—a habit that many of us grapple with but rarely talk about openly. Through a candid recount of a mistake she made with her clients, Jessie illustrates how perfectionism can spiral into anxiety and self-criticism.
She questions why we impose such impossible standards on ourselves when even our higher powers don’t demand it. Jessie’s story is not just about falling short but about rising above the unrealistic pressures we place on ourselves. She argues that embracing our imperfections can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to let go of the toxic need to be perfect and instead, celebrate our unique flaws and strengths.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, this conversation might just change your perspective.
