Missed Takes or Mistakes?
Manage episode 433989433 series 2939942
Perfectionism is rampant in our culture. The pressure to do things right, right now, has induced in us a fear of making mistakes. Ironically, that very aversion is what keeps us from doing things ‘right’. It’s a horrible incapacitating cycle that HAS to be broken.
Today, Maren & Stephanie talk about this ‘cycle’ we’ve caught in a fun and engaging way, laughing at their own mistakes (yes, Stephanie really did light a 90 year old man on fire). More than that, they bring perspective shifts AND multiple, tangible practices to the conversation so that we can all get to the benefits of the ‘missed takes’ in our lives.
If you want the quickest doorway to growth, you will love this podcast. Of course, you’ll need to be willing to let go of your self-judgment and perfectionism!
