Perfectionist Professional Woman
Perfectionism pretends to be noble. It pretends to help you improve and grow. But in reality, it creates crippling self-doubt and leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck. Instead of helping you grow, perfectionism limits your potential and keeps you small. Perfectionism hits women especially hard. Throw a profession, some children, and religion into the mix and then it really kicks into high gear. The Perfectionist Professional Woman podcast is for high-achieving working women who want to feel more confidence and self-worth at work and at home. If you know you’re smart and skilled but secretly worry you’re not good enough, if you consistently tweak and re-tweak your work trying to make it “just right,” if you’re terrified of failing because you’re worried others will think you’re incompetent, this is the podcast for you. In each episode, Certified Life Coach Keri Martinez will teach you how you can reduce insecurity and overwhelm, decrease fear of failure, increase confidence and self-worth, and enjoy your life more.

Outsourcing confidence is something all perfectionist women do. While there is probably a biological benefit to our brains doing it, it can be quite problematic. If you notice you’re outsourcing your confidence, what can you do about it?
In this episode you’ll learn why we outsource confidence and self-worth and why it’s more useful to source them internally. Listen in to hear examples of how you might be outsourcing confidence and how you can transition to in-sourcing instead.
