Do not allow your ambition to be pathologized, refuse to apologize for or disguise your insatiable desire to excel. Reject the notion that you need to be fixed. Reclaim your perfection now.

Nobody calls you a “perfectionist” as a compliment.

It’s usually paired with accusations of being overbearing, a control freak, or simply “too much.” Worse, us perfectionists are often told to lower our standards and chill-the-f-out. 

But what if that advice is total bullsh*t?

What if our drive for excellence and uncompromising standards aren’t character flaws — but instead the raw material that makes us stars? 

In today’s MarieTV, you’ll discover the truth about perfectionism nobody told you, until now.

Katherine Morgan Schafler, former on-site therapist at Google and author of The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control, is here to explain the five types of perfectionists. Plus, how to leverage your strengths and succeed without driving yourself (and everyone around you!) bonkers along the way. Watch and learn:

  • The strengths and pitfalls of your Perfectionist Type.
  • How to balance ambition and achievement with joy and playfulness.
  • The dirtiest word in wellness.
  • How to “rest” without doing nothing.
  • When to keep pushing and when to surrender.
  • The dangerous misconception about “being present.”
  • How to channel your perfectionism into success, peace, and happiness.

If you’re ready to find your healthy flow as a high-achiever, watch this episode now. You’ll never have to apologize for “caring too much” again.
