Perfectionism is rising — and so are anxiety, depression, and burnout. In this episode, we break down the difference between healthy high standards and harmful perfectionism, including socially prescribed perfectionism — the belief that others expect you to be perfect.
You’ll learn how perfectionism shows up in kids, teens, and adults, how social media and school pressure fuel it, and why fear of failure can lead to procrastination, stress, and low self-worth.
Backed by research, we also explore why failure is essential for learning, resilience, and growth — and how shifting your mindset can improve mental health.
Perfection isn’t the goal. Growth is.
