  • Kelly Johnson - Recovering Perfectionist

    This episode is a perfect example of how a strength, when overused, can sabotage our health, our wellness, and ultimately how we show up both personally and professionally. I thoroughly enjoyed Kelly’s story of how she discovered the steps she needs to take to continue her success in a healthy way and how she is now passing that knowledge to her kids and her clients.

    Refreshing change from sugary inspirational podcasts (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Getting down to bad advice and how it affects people is truly impactful.
