Stop Perfectionism With This Game-Changing Reframe On Success | I’m The Problem, It’s Me
Teach Me How To Adult
07/24/24 • 12 min
Today’s adulting confession: I have a toxic relationship with success.
Welcome back to another episode of “I’m the problem, it’s me,” where I call bullshit on myself for the things I’m getting wrong, so we can all learn from the struggle.
I’ve always struggled with perfectionism and getting caught up in an endless cycle where no success is ever enough, I’m constantly dissatisfied with my achievements, and always in search of something I can’t grasp because I’m forever moving the benchmark of what success should be.
I’ve learned that the antidote to this unachievable idea of success is (spoiler alert!) learning to embrace the journey, and find fulfillment in the doing.
Today’s episode dives into the game-changing reframe my amazing career coach gave me to help me redefine success and overcome my limiting beliefs. If you’re feeling stuck, this is a must-listen tool that has stopped everyone I’ve shared it with in their tracks.
Tune in to hear more about:
- Perfectionism and defining your self-worth
- Feeling dissatisfied with your successes
- How my toxic ideas of success have held me back
- The a-ha advice that reframed my idea of success
- How I now define failure
- Overcoming comparison and procrastination
- The power of self-accountability for confidence and self-efficacy
You’ve got this!

Teach Me How To Adult
05/29/24 • 57 min
You cannot over-perform your way to feeling enough... and if that just hit you like a bus, this episode is required listening.
A lot of us are fighting the feeling that no matter how much we accomplish, how hard we work, and how much money we make, we’ll never be enough. These limiting beliefs and patterns can keep us playing small and downplay our worth at work. That trickles into everything, from our relationships to how much income we make.
So we’re welcoming back to the show Leisse Wilcox, a performance and emotional intelligence coach who helps people align their net-worth with their self-worth. Leisse was on the podcast all the way back in 2020, in episode 21, to talk about mindset and resilience. And I’m thrilled to share our conversation today as we tackle worthiness, the wage gap, our money stories, and uncoupling our value from what we do for work.
Leisse is a keynote speaker, leadership consultant, performance coach, emotional intelligence expert and two-times best-selling author. Known as “the Marie Kondo of your Unconscious”, She helps clients and businesses turns self-sabotage into success in each of life's cornerstone areas, combining strategic consulting and therapeutic coaching tools.
Tune in as we chat about:
- Breaking out of the narratives that keep us stuck in doing too much and not feeling like enough
- What does “enough” feel like?
- The 4 ‘P’s of self-sabotage
- What we’re getting wrong about impostor syndrome
- How “proving our worth” leads to burnout
- Financial anxiety and how our self-worth impacts our income
- Understanding your unconscious money story
- Fixing our scarcity beliefs around safety and money
- What does living a balanced life actually mean for over-achievers?

How To Expand Your Sex life, Try Alternative Relationship Styles, And Practice Ethical Non-Monogamy, with Hayley Folk
Teach Me How To Adult
06/12/24 • 74 min
Contrary to what we’re taught our whole lives, there’s more than one way to engage in sex, love, and relationships. But what does that look like? Today’s episode is an open and vulnerable conversation with Hayley Folk, a sex writer on a mission to create safe spaces to talk about sex and pleasure.
It’s especially important during Pride Month to de-stigmatize sex and sexuality, eradicate judgment, and create safe communities to explore pleasure and identity. So we’re diving deep into ethical non-monogamy, kink, sexual health, boundaries, consent, dating apps, and how to communicate what you want with honesty.
I chat with Hayley Folk, a sex writer whose work has appeared in magazines like Cosmopolitan, Refinery29, Elite Daily, and more. She’s the founder of Naked Folk, a publication and podcast that covers the uncomfortable conversations we should be having about sex and relationships.
Trigger warning: After the first hour, we talk about the impact of nonconsensual sex and assault. If this is something you’d like to avoid, you can stop listening after the 1 hour mark.
Tune in to hear more about:
- Ethical non-monogamy 101: Polyamory, open relationships, swinging and more
- Hayley’s journey coming out as queer
- Boundaries and communication for healthy non-monogamous relationships
- Meeting other couples, unicorns, or open partners on apps or play parties
- The “one penis policy”
- Dealing with jealousy and storytelling
- How to get comfortable with dirty talk
- Consuming ethical porn
- Demystifying BDSM and the kink community
- Physical VS verbal kinks
- The importance of aftercare
- Navigating sexual incompatibility
- Consent, respect, and sexual health education
I hope you learn something new about yourself or the spectrum of sexuality from this convo!

How To Change Your Mind, Navigate Divorce, Pivot Your Path, and Date With Intention, with Alessia Scauzillo
Teach Me How To Adult
02/21/24 • 44 min
Sometimes, you have to let go of something good to let in something great. It’s easy to feel stuck in the choices we’ve made — the job we worked hard to get, the relationship we’ve invested in, the city we chose — but life is not linear, and it’s okay to change your mind.
In today’s juicy and vulnerable episode, we’re talking about the magic that can happen when you take the courageous, abundant path, instead of following “what we’re supposed to do.” I’m joined by Alessia Scauzillo, who is the embodiment of following your intuition, embracing the unknown, and pivoting towards the life you really want.
It can feel scary to break free from the traditional path, especially when we’re urged to keep up with the societal norms of chasing high-earning corporate careers and the marriage-house-baby trajectory, but that formula isn’t a reality for many of us, and there are so many exciting ways we can choose to live when we prioritize courage over comfort.
Alessia is the founder of A Sculpt Body, an online fitness platform and community of thousands of women. Alessia left her decade-long career in the finance world to build her fitness company after falling in love with wellness. She’s hosted over 20 sold out events with over 1,000+ women at top venues across Toronto, NYC and Miami. She’s regularly featured in media brands like Breakfast Television, We Met At Acme, and Business Insider as an expert in balanced wellness, navigating divorce and relationships, and creating your entrepreneurial dreams.
Tune in as we chat about:
- What Alessia learned through her divorce and the realities of 'conscious uncoupling'
- How to know when it’s time to leave... a job, a relationship, a place
- Dealing with fear of regret and the unknown
- Tapping into your intuition and learning to trust your gut
- Dating with intention and confidence
- There are still good guys out there!!!
- Working out for mental clarity and living with balance
- The power of your community during big transitions
- How grief helped fuel Alessia's biggest life decisions
