#80: Overcoming Perfectionism with Nanci Reed

Boss Body

Episode Summary:

Do you struggle with perfectionism or feel like you’re waiting for yourself and your life to be “perfect” to really start living and experiencing happiness?

Comparison and reaching for an unrealistic, unattainable “perfect” version of ourselves is a chronic issue for so many women.

We hide the parts about us we think aren’t acceptable or don’t fit in, because we’re afraid if people could see who we really are on the inside they wouldn't like, love, or accept us.

If I can just make myself look perfect on the outside, maybe people won’t see that I’m so imperfect on the inside…

My guest on this episode, Nanci Reed, author of Happily Ever NOW (Not AFTER Everything Else is Perfect), and former Pilates instructor to the stars, joins me to discuss the importance of embracing our imperfections and recognizing that every moment is perfectly imperfect.

She teaches us that, only when we lean into our authentic selves, instead of hiding, are we able to share gifts with the world, live our purpose, and experience the joy of being present right now.

“When we disarm the effect and the power that something has, then we can actually dispel it. But if we keep it as something that we deny, we feed it and give it power by believing that it has power over us..” - Nanci Reed
