EP. 244: Perfectionism, Confidence and ADHD with Dr. Fiona Peters

ADHD for Smart Ass Women with Tracy Otsuka

Perfectionism causes so many of us ADHD women to get in our own way and stops us from reaching our full creative potential for fear of criticism. My guest this episode, Dr. Fiona Peters knows firsthand just how disabling the anxiety-perfectionism spiral can be, which is why she's so passionate about helping others escape it.

Dr. Peters is a speaker and trainer for schools and is currently touring with her talk entitled "Perfectionism and Anxiety," with which she helps parents, educators, and ADHDers recognize the true cost of this obsession with perfection. "We really rob the world of the genius that we are because we are so worried about external validation and the fear of criticism that actually we don't start things."

Join our conversation to hear the brilliant Dr. Fiona Peters share her incredible ADHD journey from struggling student to PhD program, why it's so important to be a last 5% finisher, her tips for navigating the workplace when you have ADHD, and ways to start moving away from the need for external validation and toward a more balanced life that allows you to experiment, to make mistakes, and to find validation from within.
