Breaking Free from Perfectionism & People Pleasing with Kamini Wood (Ep 272)
High achievers often pride themselves on getting things done—but at what cost? When perfectionism, people pleasing, and limiting beliefs drive our choices, the result is often burnout, resentment, and clutter (both in our homes and in our minds).
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with certified life coach Kamini Wood, who helps high achievers release old patterns, overcome self-sabotage, and create balanced, purpose-driven lives. Together, we explore how perfectionist pressure sneaks into our organizing habits, why people pleasing keeps us holding on to stuff we don’t love, and the tools we can use to finally feel free.
Key Takeaways:
How perfectionism and people pleasing show up in your home, routines, and mindset
The JADE method to stop over-explaining and reclaim your voice
Why boundaries are a process, not a one-time fix
How to recognize limiting beliefs and shift toward values-based goals
Practical ways to declutter both your space and your mind for more balance and joy
