In this episode of the Motherhood Mentor Podcast, we explore how perfectionism can shift from being a paralyzing pressure to a powerful permission for growth. In this solo episode with Becca, a somatic healing practitioner and holistic life coach, we dive into the complex ways perfectionism shows up in both motherhood, relationships, and entrepreneurship—often as fear masked by high standards and a consistent awareness in the gap. The gap between our ideals and desires- and the reality. We discuss how perfectionism can become a tool for personal growth rather than a barrier. We’ll look at different types of perfectionists—intense, procrastinator, messy—and how they impact our creativity, relationships, and self-worth.

Becca shares practical tips and real-life experiences to help you reframe perfectionism. You’ll learn how to embrace imperfection, release unrealistic expectations, and create a more fulfilling life with both ambition and compassion. And most of all, finally feel good enough with where you are- present with what is messy and magic.

If you're ready to stop letting perfectionism hold you back and start giving yourself permission to grow in your messy, beautiful human experience—this episode is for you!
