It's no secret dietitians have perfectionists tendencies. As a dietitian, I know this feeling all too well. It started way before I got into nutrition. And it's been a part of me since I can remember.
In this bonus episode, I share a story about how perfectionism kept me awake when I was a little girl.
And I talk about what happened when I realized I recently made a BIG mistake and uploaded the first draft - the "not to be heard by anyone but me" draft - of a podcast episode. Cue the panic.
Since I started this podcast, that was my fear. A lot goes into making each episode. From the preparation, to recording, then editing and finally releasing the final product.
I double, triple, quadruple check everything I do. So I couldn't believe it when I somehow uploaded the wrong episode.
I know that we tend to be harder on ourselves than others are on us.
And it can be hard when things don't go as planned or when you wish you'd done something differently. It's so easy to beat yourself up when it happens. But that's when practicing self-love is so important.
Whether you heard my big mistake or not, if you've ever wished you could hit the rewind button so you could make a mistake go away, this episode's for you.
And in case you're having one of those days where nothing feels like it's going right, remember that tomorrow is a new day.
When I made this mistake, there was only one person who could help make things better - the amazing Brené Brown.
“If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially secrecy, silence and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can't survive”. ~ Brené Brown
