Flawed by Perfectionism ft. Dr Thomas Curran, Professor of Psychology

Episode notes

Perfectionism: the socially acceptable way to ruin your own life. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Thomas Curran, professor of psychology and author of The Perfection Trap , to explain why perfectionism isn’t a flex - it’s a full-time mental drain. We dig into the difference between high standards and high stress, how perfectionism feeds imposter syndrome, and why social media keeps making it worse. We also break down how to work with perfectionists (or at least survive them), and how to reframe failure before you burn out trying to “fix” something no one even noticed. We want to hear from you!
