Unlearning Perfectionism
Where and when are you invested in getting something perfect or ‘just right’? Whether a project brief, workout, conversation on racism, or your last parenting move?
In this episode, Jennifer talks with artist, performer, and somatic educator Rachel Blackman about what happens when we embrace the tension of failing, mistakes, and experimentation. They discuss the liberation of unlearning perfectionism through the twists of professional careers and the creative life. At the end of the show, Jennifer offers a practice to help you let go of needing ‘to get it right’ and more fully embrace the potential of risk taking.
