If perfectionism is your favorite weakness, this one’s for you. Dr.
Ellen Hendriksen, clinical psychologist and author of How to Be
Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists, joins
Vic to unpack the roots of perfectionism, how it shows up in
everyday life, and why so many of us feel like we have to earn our
worth. They explore the difference between healthy ambition and
toxic self-criticism, how to find that middle ground where you’re
still growing without burning out, and what it really means to
practice self-compassion. Vic opens up about her own struggles with
perfectionism—from how playing D1 volleyball enhanced her inner
critic to why she regrets overplanning Max’s 30th birthday—and
shares the tools she’s learning to prioritize presence over
performance. Whether you overthink, overachieve, or feel like
you’re never quite doing enough, this conversation will help you
let go of the pressure and embrace the messiness of being human.
