    Are you a perfectionist? In today’s episode, we’re taking a deep dive into what perfectionism really means, especially for those who feel they’re constantly struggling to keep up with their dreams or feel a fear of failure. This is a common theme among my coaching clients, and it’s often connected to deeper issues, like childhood trauma.

    Here’s what we discuss:

    • The Perfectionism Cycle: Understanding how perfectionism can start in childhood and persist into adulthood, often affecting your “inner child.”
    • The Challenge of Being in the Moment: Why perfectionists often struggle to stay present and how this affects everyday life.
    • Recognizing Perfectionist Patterns: Learning to identify signs of perfectionism as the first step toward breaking free.
    • Embracing Your Authentic Self: Steps you can take to overcome perfectionism and work toward a more genuine, slow living life.

    If you’re ready to let go of the need for perfection and embrace a more balanced life, this episode is for you. Listen in to start breaking the perfectionism cycle and become more comfortable in your own skin.

  • Is Multitasking Bad?
    Nov 11 2024

    BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE!

    In today’s episode, we dive into a topic that often comes up with my coaching clients: multitasking. You’re likely multitasking right now as you listen, and that’s perfectly okay! We’ll explore how multitasking can fit into a slow-living lifestyle, especially when it comes to those everyday tasks on autopilot, and when it might be time to focus on being fully present.

    We cover:

    • When Multitasking Works: Discover how multitasking can be a helpful tool for completing routine tasks without much thought, allowing you to get more done.
    • Being Present for New Experiences and Family Time: Learn why focusing on one thing at a time is essential when you’re trying something new or spending quality time with loved ones.
    • What Is Context Switching? Understand how switching between tasks can affect your focus and productivity, and what it means for your day-to-day.
    • Multitasking with a Slow Living Mindset: Find practical tips for incorporating multitasking without losing the calm and intention that slow living brings.

    Tune in for a balanced approach to multitasking that can help you stay productive while still embracing a mindful, slow-living lifestyle.

    Are you a remote worker? This article shares a study about how remote workers are multitasking and what they are doing during the day. Read the article HERE!
