"Perfectionism doesn't protect you, it imprisons you. Freedom begins the moment you choose to be seen as you are."
Perfectionism might seem like your trusty shield, but what if it's just a mask hiding fear? In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee Davy takes you on a journey through the tangled web of perfectionism and its unexpected ties to alcohol reliance. Lee shares his own story of growing up with conditional love, where achievement felt like the only way to earn worth.
He reveals how perfectionism isn't about ambition but rather a protective layer keeping the cracks hidden from view. The episode explores how this relentless pursuit of flawlessness can trap individuals in a cycle of secret drinking and unfulfilled lives. Brené Brown's insights on perfectionism offer a fresh perspective, highlighting how it's not about striving for excellence but avoiding pain and judgement.
Lee invites listeners to consider vulnerability as the antidote to perfectionism, urging them to let go of the mask and embrace their true selves. The conversation is peppered with anecdotes and metaphors that bring the topic to life, making it relatable and engaging. So, if you're ready to shed the armour of perfectionism and step into your authentic self, this episode might just be your first step towards freedom.
