Say goodbye to toxic perfectionism
Toxic perfectionism pushes people to chase flawlessness at the cost of well-being, creativity, and productivity. At work, it shows up as overanalyzing, struggling to delegate, or fearing mistakes. This relentless pursuit often leads to burnout and self-doubt. Michele Molitor explains that while excellence is valuable, perfectionism hinders growth, innovation, and authentic connections—making it a major challenge for professionals.
Being “perfectly flawsome”—a term Michele introduces—is key to overcoming toxic perfectionism. In today’s high-pressure world, unrealistic standards can lead to self-criticism and inaction. Fear of judgment often fuels this mindset, creating blind spots that hold us back. Michele encourages embracing imperfections, celebrating achievements, and practicing self-compassion daily. These small shifts help build confidence, resilience, and freedom from perfectionism’s grip.
