On this episode of the Better Because podcast, Agus & Allie speak with Dr. Jessica Pryor, a professor, therapist, and researcher specializing in perfectionism. We learned how healthy striving can very easily turn into unhealthy perfectionism, especially in our society which normalizes reaching for perfection. Perfectionistic thoughts and behaviors can take a significant toll on one’s mental health, self-worth, and overall wellbeing, but the good news is, there are plenty of ways to cope with perfectionism! Dr. Pryor shares insight into how we can move past this debilitating way of being and embrace ourselves as enough, just as we are.

To learn more, check out Dr. Pryor’s research and resources on perfectionism at http://www.perfectlyimperfectlab.com/.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode and your experiences of perfectionism! Leave us a podcast review or DM us on Instagram @agusandallie. We are here for you!

In this Better Because Podcast episode, we talk all about what open communication means and some of the challenges that come with it. Some of these challenges may include having a hard time communicating about things that are hard or scary to share, our needs, feelings of hurt, desires, disagreements, and more. The trick is overcoming these challenges! After some reflection, we have compiled 4 tips that have helped us openly communicate and be honest in our friendship and how these can be applied to all relationships. Open communication is something we both actively work on, while we do this well in our friendship, we strive to better it in other relationships where it may not be as strong!
