The Independent Woman Experience Series: Freeing Yourself From Perfectionism

Elizabeth Su had a successful career in a high powered, corporate job, but she realized that “success” came at a cost. Now she’s on a mission to help women be free of toxic perfectionism that plagues so many women in the workplace. In this episode, she tells us about how women often internalize unrealistic expectations and what she did to change her life path. 

Takeaways from Elizabeth:

We might have an idea of happiness and success that doesn’t turn out to make us happy at all. It’s ok to make a changeGratitude is important, but you also don’t need to make things seem better than they are when life is hard. You can be grateful to yourself just for getting through the day.Anger is a healthy emotion – sometimes you don’t need “good vibes only.”The path to empowerment isn’t going to be linear, and looking outside of yourself for the answer will only send you down someone else’s path.There is no end goal to empowerment – it’s a lifelong journey, and it won’t look like anyone else’s.If someone says they have their life together, they probably don’t. Traditional ideas of success are seductive, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for you. Often we look to other people for permission in our lives, but you’ll find that you are the one who really knows what’s best for you. Give yourself permission instead.
