Episode Description from the Publisher

We often believe that we need to be perfect--or at least nearly perfect--to be worthy and lovable. Yet from my experience, the constant striving to look or be perfect can actually erode self-confidence, mental health, and even physical well-being. In fact, I've found that those who make friends with their imperfections--those who strive to achieve a healthy balance between self-acceptance and positive change--tend to fare far better in their relationships, self-love, and overall well-being. Today, we're joined by Erin Pash, CEO and Founder of Pash Company and Ellie Mental Health,&nbsp; who will explore the keys to fostering self-acceptance, authenticity and self-worth!Topics discussed include perfectionism, self-love, acceptance, self-worth, worthiness, toxic comparison, judgement, blame, shame, envy, jealousy, relationships, family, friendships, girlfriends, social media, competition, well-being, mental health, boundaries, personal change, and transformation.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.
