In this episode, Danielle shares how being a self-proclaimed \"over-achiever\" has it's good and bad sides. It can push you to work hard and get ahead, but can also lead to feelings of anxiety, fear, and crippling self-expectations. She shares how she's learned to let some of that perfectionism go, and be OK with just good enough.
We dig into her experience in working with women in the workplace on the impactful ways we can take care of our mental health. How do we do a better job at having more open and honest dialogue around our struggles. Normalizing just how common it is and that what we're experiencing isn't a result of being \"weak\" or being \"unable to hack it\". What are ways we can take that pressure off and make time for more joy and play while still remaining resilient?
