SO...WHAT'S YOUR PERFECTIONISM TYPE?

We all have a pesky little perfectionism troll (yes like a troll doll!) that hangs out in our brain. Use my new quiz to identify YOURS—and learn how to manage it once and for all. 🌈

What's all this about a quiz?? I'll get there, but first...

Over the last year and half of coaching and consulting, meditation teaching, and tarot reading (oh my) I've come to realise what I previously took for granted as a professional writer and former leader in the media and startup space—living with joyful, playful, and intuitive creative expression. It's NOT a piece of cake for my clients and community. Most have firmly entrenched not-enoughness “software” (as psychologist Dr. Maurer calls it) still running.

Working with these brilliant authors, artists, creatives, hobbyists, and business weirdos—all of whom have stories to tell, stuff to build, and a positive impact to make on the world if only they'd ALLOW themselves—led me to a profound realisation: perfectionism is the root of all evil!

Toxic perfectionism. The phrase itself describes so much; procrastination and all-out avoidance, overwhelm and impostor syndrome, unreasonably high standards and self-judgement, comparison and fear.

But perfectionism CAN be managed and tamed through mindful self-compassion, gentle habit forming that bypasses fear, taking small intuitive steps, and by falling in love with the process again—outcomes by damned. Because ironically, when we forget the outcome, we do our best work. And we have the most fun.

In my signature creativity coaching framework, three pillars of intuitive creative expression—Power, Presence, and Play—join forces against one common, albeit tiny threat. And that threat is our Perfectionism Troll a.k.a our head troll.

This troll crept into your brain's amygdala—the home of fight or flight—at a young age. Every time your unique, weird, magical brilliance was ignored or criticised, it got that little bit further in. And now it's made a cosy nest in the home of your mind's stress response.

But the point isn't to reject your head troll. It's to befriend them.
