See this content in the original post

What’s at the root?

Of perfectionism.

Not-enoughness.

And the need for external approval. 

What would happen if you surrendered?

In today’s episode, I invite my hilarious friend & artist (and my first guest!) Erica Hawthorne-Manon, to share her healing journey and how she got to the root of her hustle & burnout. We dive into what really leads us to a place of burnout, the importance of healing in community, and the bank of Benevolence. Yes you heard that right! Bank of Benevolence. Erica dropped some gems. 

We dive into:

  • Erica’s healing journey, how burnout touched her experience & what got her ass to sit down!

  • Making pivotal shifts during Covid, and beyond

  • Tough love - does it work?

  • Why I celebrated when Erica cried with me for the first time

  • Cultural conditioning around perfectionism - and releasing yourself from it

  • And so much more
