Can we break the Latina cycle of perfectionism and disappointment? How being a childfree Latina means you're already doing that!
Have you ever been crushed by the weight of expectations on you as a Latina or Latine? Carried the burden of striving for perfectionism, but not once felt the relief of attaining it (even if you did somehow manage to do everything perfectly)? Then you know how perfectionist tendencies in Latine culture can negatively impact our self-esteem.
***Support the show for as little as $3/month***
What started as an exploration of procrastination as a whole, focuses down on one special branch of the procrastination tree: perfectionism. Which has been literally bred into our DNA by our traditions. But we're breaking that cycle!
Enjoy the story of my own dance with perfectionism, what felt like my biggest source of shame in college, and how I learned that failure is just a natural part of life. Plus we examine some input from ChatGPT on 5 ways to manage your own perfectionist tendencies.
