25: Perfectionism: Worthiness Over Suffering with Helene-Jane Groarke

The Good Enough Podcast

“We're so used to being in a society where everything you do needs to have a result, have a product, have something to deliver. Saying you're doing something just because it makes you happy, feels alien to us.”

Check out this episode of The Good Enough Podcast where our hosts Jessica Armstrong and McKenzie Raymond sit down with Helene-Jane Groarke, a worthiness coach working with people to help them see their intrinsic worth and create a life based on that knowledge. Listen in as Helene opens up about her transformative journey, sharing how personal setbacks led her to discover her true value beyond societal standards and expectations. This conversation covers the spectrum of worthiness in various life spheres, from the professional environment to the intimate spaces of home and self-care. Helene's approach to living a life that cherishes and embodies pleasure strikes a chord and has the power to shift perspectives and empower you to step into your own worthiness.

Hear about the art of setting boundaries, both at work and within our personal lives, as our hosts and Helene explore the pivotal role boundaries play in maintaining a healthy sense of self-worth and satisfaction. As they navigate the complexities of perfectionism, they shed light on the importance of separating our identity from our achievements and embracing the concept that we are valuable for who we are, not just for what we do.

Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on the multifaceted journey towards self-love and happiness. Jessica, McKenzie, and Helene delve into the liberating practices of embracing fun and the simplicity of life's pleasures, recognizing the power of self-compassion, and how becoming our own cheerleader can lead to profound personal growth. Whether it's taking 'messy action' or setting aside time for relaxation, Helene's insights are a beacon for anyone seeking to enhance their work-life harmony and personal fulfillment.
