In the opening episode of Season 6, your host, Pallavi Mahidhara, shares her perspective on perfectionism, boundaries, and having compassion for yourself. This season very spontaneously developed common themes through the conversations with our guests around finding ones identity, struggling with perfectionism and failure, and learning how to trust oneself and fight for what aligns with us. Part of sharing our struggles and being vulnerable means the possibility for collective healing. So thank you all for the beautiful community we are growing.
