This episode is a deep dive on my substack article: Post-perfectionist propaganda is the mindset, narrative, or belief system that comes after rejecting perfectionism the personal “campaign” to unlearn the idea that you must be flawless to be worthy, successful, or seen.

In this episode i talk about freedom from the cult of perfectionism and focus on PRESENCE instead. Its reflective, witty and giving very much self aware queen

hope you love it!
