EP183: Releasing Self-Judgement: The Illusion of Perfection - Part 1

Christina examines perfection culture and how systems, conditioned responses, and inherited beliefs teach us to self-abandon in order to feel accepted, worthy, or safe.

She explores how these patterns shape our emotional responses, fuel people-pleasing, and keep us chasing approval at the expense of our authenticity. The conversation highlights the role of ego, self-reflection, and the courage it takes to question beliefs you didn’t consciously choose.

In part 1 of this 2 part series, Christina invites listeners to challenge long-held assumptions, reconnect with their inner truth, and explore authenticity not as an image… but as a path back to self-trust and personal freedom.

Topics Discussed:

• The illusion of perfection and why it disconnects us from ourselves
• How meaning gets attached to flaws, mistakes, and identity
• People-pleasing as a response to rejection and emotional safety
• How our emotional reactions are shaped by internalized beliefs
• Why guilt and shame show up when we challenge old beliefs
• The freedom that comes from questioning assumptions
• Authenticity as a path to personal freedom

This is part one of a two-part series.

Part Two: “Exposing the Patterns That Keep Us Stuck” will release next week — where we go even deeper into identifying and breaking the loops that keep you trapped in perfection, self-judgment, and emotional reactivity.
