PERFORM: How Regulated Leaders Create Sustainable Success | Ep. 165 02/04/2026

PERFORM: How Regulated Leaders Create Sustainable Success | Ep. 165 Most people are taught that performance comes from doing more. More hours. More pressure. More execution. But at the highest levels of leadership, performance is not about intensity. It is about capacity. In this episode, we break down what BILLION-DOLLAR HUMAN PERFORMANCE™ actually requires and why nervous system regulation is the foundation most leaders skip until their body forces the conversation. This is not about slowing down. It is about building the internal capacity to scale without breaking. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: • Why hustle-based performance works temporarily and then quietly collapses • The hidden cost leaders pay when performance outpaces regulation • How chronic fatigue, brain fog, and emotional reactivity are signals, not weaknesses • What “Billion-Dollar Human Performance™” really means beyond revenue • Why most performance strategies fail at the nervous system level • How regulation becomes the true performance multiplier for leaders at scale Why Hustle Eventually Fails at the Top Hustle can drive results for a season, sometimes for years. But the body always collects the debt. This is where leaders begin to experience: • Fatigue that rest does not fix • Decision fatigue and mental fog • Emotional reactions that feel out of character • Health issues that appear sudden but are not • A quiet loss of fulfillment despite external success This is not failure. It is feedback. Performance without regulation always extracts a cost. The Real Definition of BILLION-DOLLAR HUMAN PERFORMANCE™ Billion-Dollar Human Performance™ is not just about revenue or output. It is the ability to: • Stay clear under sustained pressure • Recover quickly after high-stakes decisions • Maintain creativity while scaling • Lead without fear, scarcity, or ego driving behavior • Expand impact without shrinking your life This level of performance requires a trained nervous system, not a traumatized one. Why Most Performance Strategies Don’t Stick Most leaders are given strategies designed for machines, not humans. They are told to: • Optimize time • Scale faster • Delegate more • Push through resistance But when the nervous system is overloaded, those strategies create friction instead of flow. That internal resistance is not laziness. It is the body asking for regulation before expansion. Regulation as the Performance Multiplier When leaders are regulated: • Execution becomes cleaner, not heavier • Decisions compound instead of drain • Pressure no longer hijacks behavior • Energy becomes directed instead of scattered • Growth feels expansive rather than constrictive Regulation is not the opposite of ambition. It is what allows ambition to mature. This is how leaders scale without sacrificing their health, relationships, or sense of self. This is how they stay in the game long enough to actually enjoy what they build. Learn about your host, Dr. Christine Maukyan Have you ever had that inner knowing that something has to change, but you push it away until one day you can’t ignore it anymore? Dr. Christine Manukyan knows that exact feeling. After 25 years in healthcare, she took the leap of faith from pharmacist to The Vitality Doctor™ to mentor elite leaders transform their lives from the inside out. As a Fractional Chief Vitality Officer and creator of Xpand Capacity™ and NeuroBreathwork®, she works with founders and executives convert overwhelm into calm authority, decisive leadership, and durable performance without sacrificing their health.

DECIDE: How Leaders Stop Self-Sabotage Under Pressure | Ep. 164 02/02/2026

DECIDE: How Leaders Stop Self-Sabotage Under Pressure | Ep. 164 DECIDE: How Leaders Stop Self-Sabotage Under Pressure Most leaders don’t fail because they lack intelligence, discipline, or strategy. They fail because they’re making high-stakes decisions from a dysregulated nervous system. When pressure is high, time is tight, and the nervous system is overwhelmed, the body is not optimized for clarity. It’s optimized for survival. And survival mode doesn’t just affect how you feel. It directly shapes the decisions you make, often in ways that quietly sabotage your health, your relationships, and your long-term success. In this episode, we explore why regulation must come before decision-making, especially for leaders operating at a high level. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why smart, capable leaders still make decisions they later regret How stress narrows perception and drives short-term thinking The difference between survival-based decisions and regulated leadership Why strategy doesn’t stick when the nervous system doesn’t feel safe How regulation rebuilds self-trust and executive capacity Why fewer, cleaner decisions outperform constant action The Real Reason Smart Leaders Make Bad Decisions Under stress, the nervous system perceives threat and narrows your world. The brain prioritizes immediate relief over long-term vision. This is when leaders: Rush decisions just to escape discomfort Overcommit and later resent the commitment Say yes when their body is clearly saying no Avoid decisions and label it “being strategic” Chase new tactics, experts, or pivots hoping clarity will arrive later This isn’t a mindset problem. It’s physiology. A dysregulated nervous system cannot access discernment. It can only access protection. Survival Mode vs Regulated Leadership Survival mode asks: “How do I get out of this discomfort right now?” Regulated leadership asks: “What decision serves my future self, my health, and my vision?” When you’re regulated: You tolerate uncertainty without panicking You stop confusing urgency with importance You respond instead of reacting You allow discomfort without letting it drive the decision This is where self-trust is rebuilt. Why Strategy Doesn’t Stick Without Regulation Many high performers say, “I know what I should be doing, but I’m not doing it.” That’s not laziness. It’s not lack of discipline. And it’s not self-sabotage in the way most people think. It’s strategy being layered onto a nervous system that doesn’t feel safe. When the body doesn’t feel safety, it resists. Not because the strategy is wrong, but because it doesn’t feel sustainable. Your body always votes. And it always wins. Regulated Decision-Making Is a Leadership Skill Leaders who scale without burning out aren’t making more decisions. They’re making fewer, cleaner decisions from regulated states. They pause before responding. They don’t decide from emotional spikes. They let their nervous system settle before committing. That pause isn’t weakness. It’s executive capacity. Regulation is pillar one. Decision-making is pillar two. Performance only comes after that. Key Takeaway If your decisions feel heavy, reactive, or misaligned, the answer isn’t more strategy. It’s learning how to regulate before you decide. Because how you decide determines how you lead. /episode/index/show/storrie/id/39970275

REGULATE: Why High Performers Break Down Before They Break Through | Ep. 163 01/30/2026

REGULATE: Why High Performers Break Down Before They Break Through | Ep. 163 “Most people are taught to scale first, hustle harder, and optimize strategy.” “But no one is asking the most important question: is your nervous system capable of holding what you’re trying to build?” In this episode of Xpand Capacity™, Dr. Christine Manukyan introduces the first pillar of the podcast: Regulate. This conversation is for executives, founders, and high performers who have achieved success on paper but feel the hidden cost in their bodies, relationships, and mental health. After investing deeply in her own inner work, including joining Tony Robbins’ Platinum Partnership, Dr. Manukyan made a counterintuitive decision: to pause scaling and focus on expanding her internal capacity first. This episode explains why that pause was not a setback, but a strategic turning point. What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why success without nervous system regulation becomes a liability over time How high performers are conditioned to override their bodies until the body forces a stop The hidden link between chronic stress and panic attacks, autoimmune disease, GI bleeds, and burnout Why breakdowns often happen after success, not before it How the nervous system quietly determines how much pressure, growth, and responsibility you can sustain Key Themes Discussed Success Without Regulation Is a Liability High performers are rewarded for pushing through stress, ignoring signals, and overriding fatigue. Over time, stress becomes normalized. Until the body intervenes. Executives end up in emergency rooms with panic attacks. Founders are hospitalized with GI bleeds. Chronic stress manifests as autoimmune disease, cancer diagnoses, and nervous breakdowns that appear “out of nowhere.” Publicly successful individuals quietly struggle with depression, addiction, and suicidal ideation. This is not weakness. It is physiology. Your Body Is Always Communicating The body is constantly sending signals long before a crisis occurs. Tightness. Fatigue. Brain fog. Irritability. Emotional numbness. The question is not whether your body is speaking. The question is whether you’re listening. As Dr. Manukyan shares in this episode: “Your body is not betraying you. It’s reporting the cost of how you’ve been living.” Why Regulation Comes First This podcast is not about doing more. It’s about expanding your capacity to hold more. Regulation is the foundation for: Clear decision-making Sustainable performance Long-term health Fulfillment that matches external success Without regulation, strategy doesn’t land. Growth doesn’t feel safe. And success becomes something the body resists rather than supports. What’s Next This episode is part one of a three-part series: Regulate – creating internal safety Decide – making clear decisions outside of survival Perform – building sustainable, high-level success without sacrificing health In the next episode, Dr. Manukyan explores why most leaders make decisions from survival and how regulated decision-making changes everything.

Why I Took a Strategic Year-Long Sabbatical to Build the Capacity for My Next Era | Ep. 162 01/28/2026

Why I Took a Strategic Year-Long Sabbatical to Build the Capacity for My Next Era | Ep. 162 In 2025, I wrote a six-figure check to become a Platinum Partner with Tony Robbins. And then I paused my business. Not because the strategy wasn’t sound. Not because the rooms weren’t powerful. But because I wasn’t ready to receive what I was asking for. Burnout. Overwhelm. Constant motion. I was chasing the next event, the next tactic, the next breakthrough—while my nervous system was quietly collapsing under the weight of it all. This episode marks the beginning of a new season and a full rebrand to Xpand Capacity™. And it’s the most honest conversation I’ve had about leadership, growth, and what actually sustains elite performance. In This Episode, I Share: • Why high-level strategy fails when your nervous system is dysregulated • What Business Mastery revealed that no funnel or framework ever could • The three choices I faced on the flight home—and why I chose the one no one understood • How inner work, not effort, removed my revenue ceiling • Why I stopped selling education and rebuilt everything around capacity • The exact moment I realized I wasn’t scaling a business—I was scaling survival • What it truly means to lead, decide, and perform from safety instead of stress The Hard Truth Most Leaders Avoid No tactic outperforms a regulated state. I didn’t need another plan. I needed to stop operating in armor. Through deep nervous-system work, family constellation work, and releasing identities built on overworking and overgiving, everything changed: • 28 pounds released • Deeper sleep • Clearer decisions • Less internal noise • Greater capacity to hold responsibility, leadership, and revenue—without breaking This wasn’t a pause. It was preparation. Why Xpand Capacity Exists I killed the offers that no longer served the future. I simplified everything down to one question: What do leaders actually need to perform at the level they’re paid to operate? The answer wasn’t more information. It was more capacity. Xpand Capacity is built on one promise: Leaders who regulate first decide better—and perform at an elite level without burnout. One brand. One path. One operating truth. The Five Decisions That Changed Everything Capacity over strategy Safety over speed Alignment over options One brand, one path Inner work before outer results Confusion is expensive. Clarity compounds. Final Word I’m not here to add to your to-do list. I’m here to expand your capacity so the right things get done—calmly, consistently, and at the level your role demands. Welcome to Xpand Capacity™. This is where leaders regulate, decide, and perform.

152. Letting Go & Forgiveness: Embracing Inner Peace and Healing 11/04/2024

152. Letting Go & Forgiveness: Embracing Inner Peace and Healing Here’s another episode of the Wholistic Vitality™ Podcast , Dr. Christine Manukyan dives deep into the transformative power of forgiveness as part of her holistic vitality framework. Forgiveness isn't about excusing the past, but rather liberating ourselves from it to create space for healing and inner peace. Dr. Christine outlines her six-step process from her book, Breathe. Heal. Surrender. Unlock Your Healing Journey: 8 Pillars to Reclaim Wholistic Vitality™ guiding listeners through steps such as acknowledging emotions, shifting perspectives, and practicing empathy. She also emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and using rituals like breathwork to release resentment. Listen in for practical tools on how to let go, embrace compassion, and reclaim your personal freedom. “Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know before you learned it. And again, many times, we're being so hard on ourselves, and we're just like, oh, I should have known better. I should have done better, and just show self-compassion even for yourself too. This is so, so, so important. So again, just remember that everything is forgivable and replace a negative feelings of hurt replace them with love and abundance and gratitude” Let’s talk about: Forgiveness is for inner peace – Forgiving others (and ourselves) is not about endorsing what happened but liberating our own soul, allowing us to move forward with peace. Shifting perspective is crucial – Moving from a victim mindset to one of empowerment helps release anger and resentment, enabling growth and healing from past experiences. Empathy and compassion aid healing – Practicing empathy, even toward those who have hurt us, allows for deeper healing by recognizing the shared human experience of pain. Setting boundaries protects your peace – While forgiveness is essential, it's equally important to establish clear boundaries to prevent future hurt and ensure emotional safety.

How are you aligned of where you live, how you spend your time and energy on and here's a lovely quote inside the book as well, too, that I'm quoting it says, by aligning with your values, passions and life purpose in every aspect of our existence, we create that life that is rich in meaning, fulfillment and authenticity.” Let’s delve into: Alignment is Essential for Fulfillment: Dr. Christine Manikin emphasizes that living in alignment with your values, passions, and life purpose is crucial for creating a life rich in meaning, fulfillment, and authenticity.

150. Transformation Begins Within: Breaking Generational Patterns 10/21/2024

150. Transformation Begins Within: Breaking Generational Patterns In this eye-opening episode of the Wholistic Vitality™ Podcast, Dr. Christine Manukyan dives into part three of the Vitality Framework series, focusing on the letter T for "Transformation Begins Within." She explores how generational patterns, passed down through 12 to 17 generations, shape our beliefs and behaviors from conception. Dr. Manukyan shares her personal journey as an immigrant from Armenia, breaking deep-rooted cultural and financial patterns to create a new life in the U.S. She emphasizes the importance of healing both ourselves and past generations to build a legacy of abundance and freedom for future generations. “I want you all to start having conversations with yourself, of which patterns are you continuing to create or keep going, especially when it comes with your clients and your family members, and I want you all to not only do the inventory of the patterns, but also start taking action. And for some of you might be like, I need to speak up more, I need to create boundaries, I need to let go of certain people from my life, just because their family doesn't mean you have to have a relationship with them. So again, learning and embracing your past, but also being very intentional of how you live your life, how you choose to live your life, especially when your quote, unquote act of kindness is being taken advantage of.” Let’s discuss: Generational Patterns Shape Our Lives: We inherit 12 to 17 generations' worth of patterns, beliefs, and behaviors, which influence how we approach various aspects of life. Identifying which patterns serve us and which need to be broken is crucial for personal growth. Healing Transforms Past and Future Generations: When we actively engage in healing and self-awareness, we're not only transforming ourselves but also healing our ancestors' traumas and influencing the future generations' mindset and wellbeing. Financial Freedom and Empowerment: Breaking limiting financial beliefs is essential for creating a new mindset around money. Especially for women, overcoming generational norms about financial roles empowers both personal freedom and a healthier relationship with money. Grab your copy of Breathe. Heal. Surrender.

147. Transform Your Life: Heal and Forgive with Manifestation Breathwork 09/09/2024

147. Transform Your Life: Heal and Forgive with Manifestation Breathwork Welcome back, vibrant visionaries, to another transformative episode in The Wholistic Vitality™ Podcast. I am diving deep into the power of breathwork—a profound tool for manifestation and healing. In this episode, I share my journey from a career driven by ego to one fueled by soul-aligned purpose. In this session, you’ll explore the balance between the mind and body, learning how breathwork can release stuck emotions, create space for new possibilities, and guide you towards your true desires. My compassionate guidance will lead you through a three-part breath practice to help you unlock your inner potential, release past grievances, and step into the magic of your life's journey. Embrace this opportunity to manifest from a place of soul, not ego, and allow yourself to experience the transformative power of breath and forgiveness. “For our experience, folks, just go ahead and stick with inhales and exhales through your mouth, and utilize your body to just let your body feel okay. Don't restrict any feelings. Don't try to question. Don't try to make sense or logic. Again, you're manifesting deep down from your soul. Don't let your ego ruin your experience. Don't let your ego trying to be so hard on yourself, questioning whether or not you're doing this right or wrong. There is no right or wrong way of doing breathwork. There's just a way of doing it. And you're gonna get better and better as you do more of this.” Let ‘s dive deeper into: Breathwork as a Powerful Tool for Manifestation: Breathwork helps in manifesting desires by guiding individuals to access deeper levels of consciousness and release emotional blockages, allowing them to create from a soul-centered space rather than from the ego. Healing through Letting Go and Forgiveness: Dr. Christine emphasizes the importance of releasing internal baggage, such as grudges, anger, and frustration, to create space for new energy and positive transformations. A brief forgiveness exercise is included in the session to aid this release. Mind-Body Connection: The session highlights the significance of aligning the mind and body. When there is a disconnect between the head (ego) and the body, even achieving goals may feel unfulfilling. Breathwork can help bridge this gap and foster a deeper connection with one's true self. Safety and Accessibility: While breathwork is a powerful modality, Dr. Christine advises caution for individuals with certain health conditions, such as pregnancy or heart issues, and encourages them to participate with mindfulness and awareness of their own limitations.

There's so much new opportunities that your body's like, wow, this feels good. Wow, this actually feels amazing. And there's also things that you learn and you see and you come back that you're appreciating what you already have even more. Again, I cannot explain the importance of this sabbatical while we were traveling the world, taking time off from June till August, we were gone for three months and traveling the world, it is to really understand the importance of pausing and slowing down.” In this episode let’s dive into: Spiritual Sabbatical and Personal Transformation: I took a three-month spiritual sabbatical to reconnect with myself and dive deeper into my soul's purpose. This time of reflection allowed me to gain clarity and purpose in my life and career.

The upcoming retreat in Bali will also include certification in Neuro Breath Work, a modality I developed.

145. Breaking the Intergenerational Cycle with Dr. Pauline Peck 05/20/2024

145. Breaking the Intergenerational Cycle with Dr. Pauline Peck In this new episode of the The Wholistic Vitality™ Podcast, Dr Pauline Yeghnazar Peck joins me for an insightful conversation about intergenerational and cultural trauma within immigrant communities, particularly for daughters of immigrants. We delve into the significance of culturally informed therapy, the challenges of navigating mental health within families, and the vital need to break generational patterns for better emotional well-being. Dr. Pauline emphasizes the need for culturally informed therapeutic practices and the empowerment that comes from understanding and addressing inherited traumas and the value of sharing experiences and building supportive communities, as well as the transformative potential of these efforts in fostering healthier, more connected lives. “The next step is the awareness that this is something that has been passed down through the generations that you begin to see. It's not just your parents, but potentially your parents’ parents and your parents’ parents, and you start having the curiosity about whether this pattern came before you. And whether without your awareness, it's going to happen with you involved in it as well. And you have this moment where you realize, oh, this is bigger than me, that awareness is everything.” -Dr Pauline Yeghnazar Peck In this episode, let’s explore: Understanding Intergenerational Trauma: Intergenerational trauma affects daughters of immigrants significantly, often influencing their mental health and identity. Culturally Informed Therapy: The importance of culturally informed therapy in addressing trauma and mental health within immigrant communities. Challenges in Mental Health Awareness: Navigating mental health can be particularly challenging within immigrant families due to cultural stigma and lack of awareness. Breaking Generational Patterns: Recognizing and addressing inherited traumas is crucial for breaking harmful generational patterns and fostering emotional well-being. Empowerment through Awareness: Understanding intergenerational trauma can empower individuals to seek help and create supportive environments. Role of Supportive Communities: Building supportive communities is essential for healing and providing a sense of belonging and understanding. About Dr. Pauline Yeghnazar Peck: Dr. Pauline Yeghnazar Peck is a trauma-informed psychologist in Santa Barbara, California who specializes in helping the daughters of immigrants and intercultural couples break cycles of intergenerational and cultural trauma so they can live full, free lives in deep connection with themselves and others. Her work fills in the gaps left by immigrant upbringings and western psychology.

143. Redefining Health Care with Dr. Christine Manukyan 05/06/2024

143. Redefining Health Care with Dr. Christine Manukyan In this new episode of The Wholistic Vitality™ Podcast, Michele Waterman and I dive deeper into the concept of wholistic™ health, personal transformation, and self-advocacy in healthcare. Our discussion also delves into practical tips for embracing a holistic lifestyle and the importance of informed self-care and the importance of going beyond traditional pharmaceutical solutions to explore the root causes of health issues and leveraging holistic practices like functional medicine, neuro breathwork, and lifestyle changes. We also touch on the importance of questioning and understanding the care and prescriptions provided by health professionals, encouraging patients to seek information and possibly second opinions when prescribed medication. “But are we really in a free economy and like, here's the thing, we need to be able to have these nuanced conversations where we call out the the institutions themselves and talk about the the greed, we talk about, you know, the gatekeeping, the agendas, and who this really benefits, which, you know, honestly, when it gets down to it, we're talking about benefiting stakeholders, and shareholders over the well being of children and human beings that are being prescribed cocktails of medications.”- Michele Waterman Key takeaways to explore: The importance of patients asking questions and seeking clarity about their treatments from healthcare providers. The necessity of identifying and addressing the underlying causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. This approach not only leads to better health outcomes but can prevent future health problems. The empowerment that comes with taking charge of one's health. Dr. Christine's story is used as an example of how personal responsibility and proactive health management can lead to remarkable health transformations. The idea that true health involves a balance of mental, physical, and emotional wellness and how lifestyle changes, such as stress management and healthy eating, are crucial components of holistic health. The need for ongoing education about one's health and wellness options is emphasized, suggesting that staying informed is key to making better health decisions. The limitations and challenges within the current medical system, particularly the focus on treating symptoms with medications without addressing deeper issues. This highlights the need for a shift towards a more patient-centered approach in healthcare. The integration of various therapeutic practices, including clinical hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Reiki, illustrates a multi-faceted approach to health and wellness.

So you can either give your power to your fear into your “I'm not ready”, or you can leap and you can trust that this wouldn't be showing up in front of you right now and you wouldn't be afraid of it if there wasn't freaking magic for you on the other side. So stop wasting time waiting to be ready and start getting ready by doing”- Nathania Key takeaways to explore: The significance of embracing change and stepping out of comfort zones as a crucial step towards personal growth and transformation. The importance of overcoming limiting beliefs. Nathania’s journey illustrates how changing one's mindset can lead to profound life changes. The critical role of community and support in overcoming challenges and pursuing personal goals, highlighting how relationships can empower individuals to achieve greater success. The idea that physical activities, like yoga, are not just for physical well-being but are also powerful tools for mental and emotional strength, helping individuals to stand strong in other areas of life. The journey doesn’t end with one change; it’s about continuously adapting, learning, and growing. The concept of "life is now" encourages immediate action towards personal aspirations. They discuss how fear should not always be seen as a barrier but rather as a sign that there is significant personal growth on the other side of that fear.

Impactful influencing involves using one's position, whether as an entrepreneur, a leader, or even a parent, to positively affect others' lives and decision-making.

Everyone in the community is considered a leader and an influencer because they have the power to affect those around them, emphasizing the inclusivity of leadership and influence.

In an era flooded with AI-generated content, authentic thought leadership stands out. By consistently sharing knowledge and experiences within one’s area of expertise, one can establish themselves as a thought leader and go-to source for information and inspiration. Developing a community around your brand, complete with a distinctive name that resonates with the target audience, is crucial for growth and engagement. This creates a sense of belonging and can significantly amplify the brand's impact and reach.

136. Beyond Perfect: Discovering the Root Cause of Perfectionism In this new episode The Wholistic Vitality™ Podcast, I talk about the profound impact of perfectionism on personal and professional life, exploring its root causes and offering insights for overcoming this mindset. I touch on how the quest for perfection, ingrained through societal and professional expectations, leads to stress, anxiety, and potentially detrimental outcomes. I delve into five primary causes of perfectionism: fear of failure, low self-worth, need for control, external validation, and unresolved trauma or childhood experiences, each linked to deep-seated emotional and psychological issues. In this episode, I encourage you listeners to engage in self-reflection and to recognize the detrimental effects perfectionism can have on one's mental health, personal growth, and overall well-being. “Give yourself permission to explore, give yourself permission to ask questions and be curious about why am I feeling this way? Why am I trying to be perfect at all time, I'd have all this five different things, which one resonates with me the most is a fear of failure, is it low self worth is a need to for control, external validation, or some childhood trauma or any trauma that you've experienced in the past. So ask yourself, if you find yourself being perfect, trying to be perfect, which is causing the procrastination and the overwhelm, and you're putting your dreams on hold. Because quite awkward, you're trying to be perfect, right? There is a hidden feeling and trauma that you need to work on. You need to explore that. And when you start exploring these feelings and getting to the root cause of what you are experiencing, this is where everything shifts.” In this episode, let’s explore: How striving for perfection, while beneficial in certain professional contexts like pharmacy, can be detrimental in entrepreneurship and personal life, leading to stress, overwhelm, and the stifling of creativity and growth. Root Causes of Perfectionism: Fear of Failure: Perfectionists often fear making mistakes due to past experiences where failure led to criticism or punishment. Low Self-Worth: There's a belief among perfectionists that their value as a person is tied to their achievements and that any mistake reflects poorly on them. Need for Control: This arises from a desire to manage one's environment or outcomes, often rooted in feelings of powerlessness or vulnerability in the past. External Validation: The pursuit of approval from others, linking one's sense of worth to recognition and praise. Trauma or Childhood Experiences: Past traumas or high expectations set during childhood can foster perfectionism as a coping mechanism. Personal Reflection and Healing:. By acknowledging and exploring these feelings, individuals can begin the process of healing and personal growth. The power of becoming consciously aware of one's perfectionist tendencies and taking deliberate steps to address and overcome them. The host shares personal anecdotes of confronting and releasing their own fear of failure and the pursuit of external validation, illustrating the potential for transformation.
