Episode 36. Redefining Perfectionism In Weight Loss with Alana Demartini - In this very special episode, I had the great honor of interviewing Alana Demartini on the hot topic of perfectionism. Alana so eloquently redefines the term perfectionism and explains that perfection is messy. She also walks us through how we can all embrace our perfection TODAY! Most importantly, we also discuss how the term perfectionism and the concept of seeking perfection relates to weight release, and some of the mindset reasons why some women struggle to get to their weight goals, despite all their efforts . Her perspective on this topic is very enlightening so make sure to grab some pen and paper and get ready to be inspired.
