Description

We may subconsciously know perfection isn’t attainable but many of us still strive for it. Where is this desire for perfection coming from? Today, Andrew welcomes back Mental Performance Coach and friend Riley Jensen to discuss some of the hidden motivations of perfectionism: anxiety, control, the desire for safety, and fear of vulnerability. Listen in as Andrew and Riley uncover the beauty of sitting with these fears in order to learn, grow, and pursue excellence instead of perfection.
