Episode notes

Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Why doesn’t success feel the way I thought it would?” In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tiffany Moon to talk about the emotional cost of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and constantly chasing achievement while feeling disconnected from yourself in the process. Tiffany opens up about growing up with intense pressure to succeed and navigating public scrutiny on reality TV. We also dive into boundaries, toxic friendships, marriage, social media, and why so many high-achieving women feel lonely. Get ready to let go of perfection and reconnect with what actually matters most.
