Did you know that being a perfectionist can cause stress and anxiety?
In this episode, I sat down with energy synergist, Heather Rider and we talked about anxiety and what it really is, and how it relates to perfectionism.
I think this is a great episode to follow Dr. Kimmy’s episode because she briefly touched on anxiety and perfectionism as one of the types of procrastination.
