Are you a perfectionist? If you answered no…you might actually be wrong! Digital nomad and perfectionism expert, Petra Kolber, joins Judi today to chat about how to detox from perfection, and what it really means to be one. She dives deep into why women hold themselves to unreal standards, how she’s challenging the status quo when it comes to aging and beauty, and why she made the decision to pack everything she owns into a storage unit and become a world-traveling digital nomad!

In this episode of Yes, And:

  • What it means to be a recovering perfectionist
  • The pitfalls of perfectionism
  • How Petra became a digital nomad
  • Redefining the conversation around aging and beauty 
  • Why taking a step back from alcohol set her onto her greatest adventure yet

Top 5 relevant quotes:

  1. Really, perfectionism is control. Trying to control the uncontrollable.  
  2. It’s not that it’s not going to be there, it’s what we decide to do with the feelings when they arise.  
  3. Perfection doesn’t have a lot to teach us. We don’t learn in the perfect moments, we learn in the moments that suck.
  4. We see it black or white, good or bad, success or failure hit or miss. And not recognize that even in the misses there’s data. Even in the rejection, there’s research
  5. No one is ever gonna be as hard on me as I am on myself. This mean girl that lives in my head is already telling me enough bad stuff, so the things strangers say on the internet sorta just rolls right off my shoulder.
