Hi, my name is Kerri and I’m a recovering perfectionist. 👋🏼
This addiction keeps me striving towards unachievable and impossible goals.
I hide inside my fear of failure. Busy-ness and workaholism serve as my socially acceptable cover. The belief that I am not good enough is a pull I have to negotiate and navigate every day. It is a choice, but it is also an indoctrination in a capitalist system that tells me I’m unworthy if I'm not perfect, productive and always improving.
Perfectionism is a lie; I know this. But when I forget - when I’m not paying attention - I will do just about anything to achieve the impossible. And thus, goes the never ending, no winning, relentless cycle of scarcity.
