Thank you to Amy for sharing a guest blog post. Here it is!

Letting go of being a perfectionist is a gift to yourself. This was the absolute biggest challenge for me, yet the most rewarding. Does this sound familiar to you?

I use to set absolute ideals. There was only black and white, no grey. I had an all-or-nothing approach and feared failure because it suggested imperfection. I was my harshest critic and would beat myself up for the smallest things.

Finally, I got sick of mulling and crying over outcomes if they did not turn out as envisioned. I realized I was being a perfectionist to prove to everyone that I AM WORTHY, not realizing that I am already worthy in many ways. I am perfectly imperfect!!! My journey is to strive for growth and development. I am deemed worthy because I will drive my goals forward. When you lead with intention, when you embrace who you are, the impossible becomes POSSIBLE. 

By all means, this didn’t happen overnight. It did take 35 years of hardship in order for me to realize and to finally seek out help. I am so blessed to have met some incredible coaches, therapists, counsellors, and mentors along my journey. They have given me the tools to help me succeed in my career, relationships and finances.
