If perfectionism is your favorite weakness, this oneâs for you. Dr. Ellen Hendriksen, clinical psychologist and author of How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists, joins Vic to unpack the roots of perfectionism, how it shows up in everyday life, and why so many of us feel like we have to earn our worth. They explore the difference between healthy ambition and toxic self-criticism, how to find that middle ground where youâre still growing without burning out, and what it really means to practice self-compassion. Vic opens up about her own struggles with perfectionismâfrom how playing D1 volleyball enhanced her inner critic to why she regrets overplanning Maxâs 30th birthdayâand shares the tools sheâs learning to prioritize presence over performance. Whether you overthink, overachieve, or feel like youâre never quite doing enough, this conversation will help you let go of the pressure and embrace the messiness of being human.
