48: Recovering From Perfectionism with Audrey Holst

Movement Makers With Nikki Groom

What if I invited you to think about perfection in a whole new light? You see, perfection isn’t inherently good or bad; it’s simply a survival tactic we’ve developed out of necessity. In fact, this week’s guest, Audrey Holst, invites us to think less about how perfectionism shows up in our lives, and more about the impact it has on our wellbeing and the world around us.

In this episode, Audrey and I go beyond mindset to address perfectionism’s impossible standards, and how these standards keep us from reclaiming our energy and agency. Audrey shares the different Perfectionism Archetypes, and how understanding what yours is can help you reconnect with your own unique Operating System. We also talk about perfectly hidden depression, and what it means to access joy — even in the midst of grief and heartache.
