In this episode of Someone Gets Me, host Dianne A. Allen offers insights on breaking free from perfectionism in a gifted adult’s journey to wholeness.

She explains how perfectionism often begins in childhood through well-meaning praise and later becomes a personal struggle in adulthood. This can lead to a cycle of self-evaluation, a pattern that becomes an addiction. Dianne also outlines the emotional and mental costs of perfectionism and shares practical guidance for breaking free from its grip.

Dianne encourages us to embrace healthy striving rather than the need to be perfect. You are not simply a brain on a stick; you are much more than your intellect. Break free of perfectionism and move forward to wholeness because you are perfect just as you are.

Be inspired on the Someone Gets Me Podcast – Break Free from Perfectionism: A Gifted Adult's Journey to Wholeness.
