S1 E45 An Expert's Guide for Women to Embrace Flaws, Be Imperfect and Cure The Disease of Perfectionism with Julie Lokun

What is perfectionism? Does perfectionism stress you out?

Today, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism stop here.

It shall no longer be something that distracts us, goddesses.

Today we bring back a favorite GGH guest and my idol, Julie Lokun- a woman who has taught me to embrace the mess and stop giving a sh*t about what other people think. If you are a goddess, or goddess in training, the first rule of goddess-hood, is that you have to be you, no matter what other people think. In fact, our favorite guest was rather messy in this episode of Goddesses Gather Here. You will see a few delightful bloopers that make this episode even more charming.

Julie Lokun embraces being "FLAWSOME"

"Being Flawsome" is a term used to describe the practice of embracing and celebrating one's imperfections and flaws. It is about accepting and loving oneself, with all one's imperfections, rather than striving for perfection.

Being flawsome encourages people to focus on their strengths and unique qualities, rather than on their perceived shortcomings. It also promotes self-compassion, self-acceptance, and a positive body image. The idea behind being flawsome is to be confident, comfortable, and happy in one's own skin, and to see beauty in imperfections.

Here are some tips from me, your favorite podcast host and goddess on elevating your life and thinking a little different about embracing your flaws.

BE FLAWSOME!

Here is some expert advice for women and anti-perfection:

1. Embrace your imperfections: Accept and love yourself for who you are, imperfections included.
2. Focus on progress, not perfection: Celebrate your small victories and focus on self-improvement, not on being perfect.
3. Challenge perfectionist thinking: Notice and challenge thoughts that perpetuate the perfectionist mentality.
4. Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness, care and understanding you would offer to a good friend.
5. Set realistic expectations: Be realistic and adjust expectations to match your abilities and limitations.
6. Take care of your mental health: Prioritize self-care and seek help when necessary to maintain good mental health.
7. Surround yourself with positive influences: Surround yourself with people who encourage and support you, rather than criticize or judge you.
8. Learn from failures: View failures as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than as personal shortcomings.
