Today on the show we’re doing something a little different. Earlier in the year I released an episode all about why relaxing is challenging for perfectionists and it was one of the most listened to episodes of Life Coach Baker Podcast history. Today I want you all to relisten (or listen for the first time) to this episode though a different lens, the holiday season. Get your notes app ready. This...

It’s the most busiest time of the year!!! Yep, it’s crunch time for many people and for perfectionists that “I feel behind” “I have so much to do” “I’m look at all the things that aren't done yet” attitude is near and dear (to my heart, too, friends) So today we’re talking about two main topics: one, letting go. Believing that everything will work out for the better (this is based on a recent expe...

In today’s fun and packed with info episode, I sit down with Alex Catalano of Eat Cute to talk about the big, “daunting” world of Health and Wellness! Not only is Alex hilarious, she also knows a lot about the health world and how perfectionism can be affected (i.e. all or nothing, feeling like if you “mess up” then you’re a failure, etc.) Learn more and follow Alex below: Eat Cute Blog: https://w...

The holiday season is upon us and NeuroScience shows that when we go back to environments that heavily influenced our upbringing (aka our family homes or home towns etc) we can immediately fall back into old patterns from childhood. Many perfectionists grew up as people pleasers, over workers, or family mediators. This can be challenging because as we lean into personal growth and development in a...

Wow, this topic is a long time coming! For years now, I have wanted to do an episode devoted to Anxiety, but being a Life Coach, I know about anxiety as an emotional state but there is SO much depth to this topic. That’s why when Justine Carino came into my life, asking her to be on this show was a NO BRAINER! Justine Carino is a Therapist working with teens, young adults and families in NY and sh...

We are approaching the holiday season and with the “most wonderful time of the year” can come a lot of overwhelm and anxiety for perfectionists! That’s why in this episode (and coming episodes too) we are addressing how you can use this time of year to break away from the perfectionism shackles rather than be at the mercy of them! Starting here with gift giving! In this episode, I teach you a stra...

While we all logically know that perfectionism has no gender… we do often see it associated with women. There are countless resources out there for women to step into our own power (and woohoo there are becoming more and more for the transgender and nonbinary communities too!) but when it comes to men, that whole “rub some dirt in it” mentality is still very much at the surface. Enter Elise Michae...

Achievement. It’s drilled into us as kiddos. In order to feel loved and appreciated, we MUST achieve. And as social media and 30 under 30 lists have grown, the achievement bar has risen higher and higher. But there’s a reason why the need to achieve has made perfectionists unhappy (other than the obvious high expectations). It’s because they have a set of rules around what it means to achieve. Tod...

Telling a perfectionist not to overthink things is just a big old waste of breath. ESPECIALLY when it comes to manifesting. Why is manifesting so hard for perfectionists to wrap their mind around? Because perfectionists love one thing: Control And manifesting is literally embracing releasing control. So if you're a perfectionist who gets frustrated because you don't feel like your manifesting "cor...

But I decided to bring in an expert...

And then another week goes by and we still haven’t started it. And now it is the 11th hour and we are panicking trying to finish. Today we are discussing why the heck we do this in the first place PLUS 4 ways to t...

Well, here's the reasoning behind my bold statement When you’re trying to go after too much at once it feels like you’re getting nothing done → Which diminishes mo...

All or nothing syndrome (also known as black and white thinking) is exhausting and demobilizing for perfectionists. But what exactly does all or nothing syndrome do to us?
