Connecting a piece to another might have us considering this a perfect fit. It almost seems impossible, though, to keep this same line of logic flowing when considering something as nuanced as human behavior and how perfectionism impacts our actions or inactions. Even if our brains can understand that something being "perfect" is relative, we somehow still may end up trying to meet specific marks.





Whose marks are we trying to meet and what standards are we upholding in our pursuits? Hint: If you find yourself procrastinating, never being satisfied with your efforts, and feeling like there is a clear "right" way that is superior to other ways, you're likely perpetuating someone else's measurements and norm.



This is the foundation of perfectionism--being in a cycle of desiring outcomes that can never be achieved and that don't resonate with your unique likeness. Let that sink in...and then join us as we sit in council around how perfectionism can show up in our lives and reimagine how we can move through it with nourishing and resonant practices.



We at TLC all need this conversation and we are looking forward to learning with you!

This episode was adapted from a live Tribe Chat conversation around boundaries around nudity in family structures but we started getting at the roots and ended up covering SO much more. We suggested that this conversation might be repurposed at a later time. Surprise, surprise! It turned into this episode of Lifelong Learning. We invite listeners into the following questions while tuning in:

How can we create boundaries that are intelligent enough to be permeable in the direction that we choose...letting things go and keeping certain things in; keeping things on the outside from coming inside while allowing our essence to pour out when we desire?

How do we have to transform (or not) to be full in our authentic expression?

How do we give birth to our creations in our raw and primal glory without interference by an external gaze?

If anything lands or misses for you, please get in touch with us to share your perspective(s). We'd love to hear from you!
