In today's solo episode, I talk about how to determine whether you're a perfectionist, why shame is at the root of perfectionism, and how we can begin to take small steps to expand our comfort zone and ultimately live with more joy, purpose, fulfillment, and connection. 

Some resources I mention in the episode:

Any of Brene Brown's books (I recommend starting with 'The Gifts of Imperfection')

Carol Dweck's Book 'Mindset'

Carol Dweck's Ted Talk on Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset

Today's episode of WYP is with Patricia Grgurovic. Patricia moved to MN from the Philippines at the age of 7. She has worked as a high school counselor, a day treatment psychotherapist, an equity specialist, and a systemic family therapist. She is also a national SEED project leader and is passionate about educational equity. In this interview the biggest part of our conversation is about building emotional resilience and why so many kids and adults are losing our resiliency. Patricia also shares about digging deep into her own identity as a Philippino-American, why it’s important to learn about your ancestry whether you are BIPOC or you are white, and how we can learn to listen to each other and walk through grief together.

Some resources mentioned in the episode: 

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Chimamanda's Ted Talk (this wasn't mentioned but it is AMAZING)

National SEED Project

On today's episode, I have the privilege of interviewing my sister, Brigitta Smith, and her boyfriend, Mike Diaz. They are two of my FAVORITE human beings, and it's such an honor to hear from them about what it was like to meet and begin dating after divorce. We also talk about being an interracial couple, dealing with mental heath, and staying present with each other.

Welcome to Season 3 of WYP! On today's episode, I share my story about how perfectionism has impacted me from childhood until now, how I realized I was a perfectionist and what that turning point looked like, and how I have learned to wreck my own perfectionism one baby step at a time by consistently doing things that scare the living SHIT out of me. Recording this episode included! As always, I want to hear from you on what you're struggling with and in what ways you need support so that I can show up for you in the best way possible. DM me @rachelle.lanae or @wreckyourperfection, or email me at rachelle@wreckyourperfection.com. I'd also love to hear your wins and find out how you're wrecking your perfection! If you want to hear more songs like the one at the end of the episode, you can check out my EP 'Taking Back Me' on Spotify/Apple Music. 

Some of my favorite resources that have helped me in my perfectionism recovery:

Anything by Brene Brown (she has more but these are the ones I've read, some of them multiple times): The Gifts of Imperfection, Daring Greatly, Dare To Lead, and I Thought It Was Just Me. Also her Ted Talk on The Power of Vulnerability. 

Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way. This one is awesome if you're looking to get more creativity into your life. 

Mindset by Carol Dweck. Consistently working to change from a fixed mindset into a growth mindset in all areas of life is, I believe, the work that us perfectionists have to do. Perfectionism and fixed mindset go hand-in-hand.

Life Coaching. I was introduced to life coaching at a pivotal time a few years back, and it helped me transform in so many areas. I am now addicted to getting coaching because it's brought me to do things I never thought possible. There are tons of amazing life coaches out there, and I encourage you to find one who's a good fit for you. If you want to work with someone who can help you wreck your perfection, I'm also available as a certified professional coach. You can book a free consultation on my website. 

THERAPY. This is the big one, folks. If you have trauma of any kind, it's never too late to seek out help. As a perfectionist, it honestly took me until this year to even realize that I have anxiety, and that's a big part of how my perfectionism plays out. If therapy is not an option for you due to affordability, Open Path offers discounted rates ($30-60/hr).

See you next week! Be well, fail big, and go wreck your perfection.

On today's episode of Wreck Your Perfection, I have the privilege of interviewing Charly Haversat. Charly is a beautiful soul that I found because I came across her Ted Talk on Perfectionism. She has a wide breadth of experience, from working in finance for huge companies to her background as a pro athlete turned yoga instructor, and even running for public office. Charly is such a delight to speak with, and she shares about what it means to have good enough policy, how we can band together with our communities to create social change, and really what can happen personally and in our world if we drop our idea of perfect and exchange it for better. And we talk about trees. Which is pretty great because I love trees, and I mean who doesn’t?!

If you want to reach out to Charly, her email is charlyhaversat@gmail.com

If you have feedback, a story about how you’re wrecking your perfection, or you just want to say hi, you can email me at rachelle@wreckyourperfection.com, or slide into my DM’s on instagram at rachelle.lanae. Also, if you’re an artist who’s feeling blocked, or you don’t consider yourself creative but you’ve always wanted to be, I’d love to be your creativity coach! I am a certified professional coach, and I’m offering an introductory rate until December 1st. Head over to wreckyourperfection.com or email me to learn more!
