    Did you know that procrastinating can be a sneaky sign of perfectionism? Next time you’re waiting to get something juuust right before you share it with the world, remember this → ua-cam.com/video/qAAh0Crorzk/v-deo.html

    I wish I learned this in my 20's and completely didn't believe in my value and was afraid of my ambition. Trying to harness this now in my 40's and so grateful for your message, voice, and sharing Marie!

    Thank you for this episode! 💗 I’ve always felt like my perfectionism was something bad but in retrospect, it never actually kept me from achieving my goals. It only made me more focused! Although I have noticed a difference from striving in survival mode versus creating a fulfilling life from a place of love, I’m grateful for that period of my life. Everything works together in this perfect universe ✨

    YES! This book is legitimately the best book on perfectionism I've read. I immediately felt understood and seen! I have the physical book and audio book because sometimes I just need to listen to her voice a few times per week. I am SO glad this interview is happening!

    This hit me to my core! As first generation Latina and the oldest of 4 siblings with a single mom that worked a lot, I have always been a perfectionist and have always been ashamed of that for all the reasons you said. More recently I have worked on being more relaxed about things and always wondered why I still feel off somehow! I tried taking baths and I hate them too!! They don’t do anything for me.
    Now I see why trying to change this part of me is not the right thing to do. Being a perfectionist is part of who I am. I need to embrace that and be proud of where my perfectionism has gotten me in my life! Thank you for this. 🙏

    Love this conversation! I have a mixture of procrastinating, messy, and parisian perfectionism! The middle usually gets harder if my parisian perfectionism kicks in, since connection is important to me. Connection with myself, especially, since it's easier to connect with others when connected with myself.
    Part of my C-PTSD healing journey is writing, or self-expression if I wanted to blanket it. I went back to school for creative writing after self-publishing, because I could see I needed to learn more to enhance my work. After graduating, I decided to rebrand, despite how close I had come to finishing the first draft of my second book. I have 10 more chapters to edit in my rebranding stage. As a self-published author, I feel the pressure of the publisher to put out quality work, so when I see changes I need to make, I focus on that instead of the second book, which is almost done (before edits), as well. I'm creating the covers, doing the formatting, researching keywords, and marketing it all.
    When I feel burned out, I switch to other goals, which inspires the messy side of me. The problem with that is I have multiple books in the works, including this first series, a dark psychological fantasy which will have eight books and maybe a prequel so I can do even box sets in the future. Book one has 111K words, book two has 83K words, book three has at least 40K words, and I have ideas for the rest of the books. I have a YA fantasy that will link to my fantasy world, an erotica romance based on sexual healing, memoirs about traumas and healing, and children's books in the works. Also, expanding to bookmarks and notebooks, so I stay busy. With dissociative issues, it's easy to get lost, so I keep plenty of reminders in my home to self-soothe and write so I can have a clearer mind.
    This video was a great reminder to not give in to trauma responses and hold on to my sense of purpose for myself.

    I just got told in an interview process that I was "too confident", even after getting positive feedback that I clearly have great experience and know what I am doing. It was like they were saying I needed to tone it down or be more unsure of myself, or nicer. A lot of my professional life I noticed how much more positively people reacted to me when I expressed doubt and deference to what others know, without crediting myself. I decided to unlearn that and I consider that the comment "too confident" means I really did well, and a guy would never be told that! But having done well for myself, I feel like I won. At the same time, I feel that in the corporate world we are so pushed to be more like men in a bad way (arrogant, almost) and what our world needs more is leaders with feminine qualities and energy.

    I am such a procrastinator and perfectionist and I have carried a lot of guilt and shame about it. Mainly, always have had others just try to get me lower my standards or tell me to relax. Until today I finally feel at peace with myself and know this is an asset and not a problem. This really does need to be talked about more. Thank you so much for this podcast!💖🙏🏻💖

    Neutrality is about discernment. The ability to hold multiple positions within yourself without judgment. You're able to be in it but not lose yourself to it. I imagine neutrality as being in the calm center of a hurricane. You're the observer that is able to see beyond the superficial layers. Instead of being reactionary in a state of nervous system dysregulation. In the same way you're able to change the way you internalize perfectionism, you can also come to a new understanding and internalization about neutrality. Neutrality isn't void of emotions, feelings, or a full rich experience. More, it's the ability to be in the moment seeing with the vision of a higher awareness and broad perspective. Another way I think of it is silence. My most powerful place is a state of silence. Connecting with the sacred silent space within me. The still small voice. The still small voice within you is neutrality. The still small voice is acceptance, allowance, and freedom.
