Kind mind. Open heart.
Happy achiever. Inspired leader.
Striving for success is an inner algorithm of self-doubt, a nervous system in emergency mode, and a body on autopilot. Isn’t it time to switch the code?
Be the happy achiever you’ve worked so hard to be.
Do you consider yourself a perfectionist but aren’t seeing the results you want in life?
You’re not alone.
I was a poster child for perfectionism and I’ve helped many high-achievers overcome its negative effects so they can pursue careers and aspirations with vitality, happiness, and purpose—instead of exhaustion, anxiety, and inertia. Ultimately, you want to live the life you are meant to … and enjoy it.

Are You Ready To Break Free from Perfectionism?
In today’s high-pressure society, we are constantly fed a fable of individualism, exceptionalism, determination, and ingenuity, and taught a mythology of grin and bear it, no pain no gain, and hard work pays off, despite the fact that the conditions for success are unpredictable and ever changing.
Psychologist Tara Cousineau claims that perfectionism is a paradox: It is the tension created by the need for belonging, a desire for excellence, and a quest for a meaningful and productive life. But perfectionism can be transformed by learning to connect both head and heart, replacing inner algorithms of comparison and criticism with self-acceptance and self-compassion.
