Thank you so much for sharing our podcast Randy! It's great to hear the idea of perfectionism is relatable to other people as well. I flagged Sammie down to read your article, and she is equally grateful!
Also this feeling, "When they are starting something new, I panic for them. I’m thinking, how in the hell are you not worried about this or that?" Dang, I related to that. I feel my perfectionism creeping up ready to project onto other people too.
Ah, an honor to be mentioned in one of my favorite newsletters!
A comfort to hear when others share a similar struggle, thank you for that.
Also, your daughter is adorable!! so glad the Halloween redo worked out, it sounds like it was awesome.
Thank you Sandra! You are too kind.
And I may be a little biased, but yes she is 😀
"I’m trying hard to adopt this mindset, and I’m open to any and all suggestions on how to do it faster." If you find out, please let me know. 😬
Found you through the WOP grapevine. Two lovely ladies mentioned here and a great newsletter. Happy to subscribe!
I'll be sure to pass on any secrets 😁
Thank you for the compliment and for subscribing! And yes, they are two of WOP’s finest.
Sorry to hear about Covid impacting Halloween in your home, Randy. Childhood memories are powerful.
Thank you, too for the resources and quotes on perfectionism in this essay.
We more than made up for it! My daughter still ended up with some amazing (maybe even better) memories, and we all had a blast.
