Tiffany Dufu: Do What You Do Best, Drop The Rest

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with all of the things you need to do, in order to be a good—anything? A good partner, a good parent, a good worker, a good friend? And then, in the end it feels like you never have enough time and energy to focus on what really matters to you? If this resonates with you, then listen up.

Perfectionism and The Idealised Self

Perfectionism and The Idealised Self

Do you ever feel that if you could only be a bit more perfect that your life would be happier and easier? There's nothing wrong with us having goals or aspiring to be better than we are now. The trouble is that when we focus on this idealized image we created in our head, we don't actually acknowledge that it’s idealized. In this episode you'll learn why it’s so important to acknowledge that this idealized version of you exists, and how you can become more aware of the things that you do—not because you actually want to do them, but because you think you should be doing them.

In this episode, you'll find out what happens when you don’t respect your limits, how to become aware of what your bandwidth actually is, how to be energized by understanding and honoring your own boundaries, and be truer to yourselves and your relationships.
