Episode 46

Send us a text

This week on The Worthy Mother Podcast, we are getting into all things perfectionism & people-pleasing with self care coach Calley Hewes - from where these tendencies stem from, how they impact our lives, and what we can do to overcome. My guess is that perfectionism & people-pleasing show up in your life at least occasionally (hello being a woman in the 21st century) so I am going to claim it like it is - this is a must-listen. 

In this episode, Calley and I talk about:

  • Breaking away from perceived expectations to do what you actually want
  • What perfectionism & people-pleasing looks like in motherhood
  • Why these tendencies are so deeply engrained in so many of us
  • How working on ourselves can impact future generations
  • The power of uncovering perfectionism & people-pleasing
  • Making self-care a priority (without putting it on a to-do list)
