As part of our "Season of You," accomplished author, former Assistant Director at the Obama White House, and psychologist, Dr. Monica Ramirez Basco, joins me for our second session on perfectionism. In her book, Never Good Enough, she describes inward- and outward-focused perfectionism (what she calls "Innies" and "Outies"), as well as many specific activities and tactics for using perfectionism to our advantage. We start by exploring this 2021 meta-analysis on the volume of studies on perfectionism, which has grown significantly since Dr. Basco's book was published (I mean, this was when Oprah was on the air!)
We further discuss the impact of perfectionism on BIPOC and women, as well as some of Dr. Basco's top tips for addressing perfectionism in our lives.
