Have you ever dealt with a negative voice inside your head that is constantly discouraging you, second guessing you, or telling you that you aren’t good enough? Even if you don’t self-identify as a perfectionist, this episode explores those tendencies we all have to chase perfection in our everyday life. Our guest, Tara Cousineau, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist; meditation teacher; life learner on resilience, self-compassion and healing; author of “The Perfectionist’s Dilemma: Learn the Art of Self-Compassion and Become a Happy Achiever,” and yes, a recovering perfectionist. During our discussion, Dr. Cousineau shares strategies and helpful techniques for managing inner critics and provides insights into recognizing and reframing perfectionistic tendencies to create more joy and balance in life.  Guest’s Website: <a href= "https://www.taracousineau.com/">Tara Cousineau, PhD, Psychologist, Author: The Perfectionist's Dilemma</a> Guest’s book via our affiliate link: <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/dp/1639109463/ref=nosim?tag=kocommunicati-20">The Perfectionist's Dilemma: Learn the Art of Self-Compassion and Become a Happy Achiever: Cousineau, Tara: 9781639109463: Amazon.com: Books</a>   TALK BIG QUESTIONS Use these prompts to have the opposite of small talk in real life. <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Did you identify with some of the perfectionist tendencies in this episode?   </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Do you find that you show much more compassion for others than you do for yourself?  If so, why? </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> What was one technique shared by Dr. Cousineau, in this episode, which you’d be interested to try? </li> </ul> <a href="http://www.daniellemccombs.com">Work with Danielle</a>: If you are ready to start working with a life coach or just want to learn more about the impact that coaching can have in your life, visit Danielle's website at <a href= "http://www.daniellemccombs.com/">www.daniellemccombs.com</a> and schedule a complimentary exploratory session.  <a href="http://www.kristyolinger.com">Work with Kristy</a>: You can work with Kristy one-on-one or hire her to speak with your team to improve workplace communication.
