Malaika oh my goodness. Your words: "How would it liberate you if you allowed for (or even sought) a bit of rejection?" stopped me in my tracks. I honestly have no idea how to answer this because I'm obsessed with perfection but I will be thinking about it for the next week. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for reading and for the incredible support, Katy!!!

As a recovering perfectionist (still in the early, early stages of recovery, lol), I TOTALLY get it. I’m so glad the piece resonated and got you to thinking. We could all be kinder to ourselves. So I’ll be checking in on you to see the beautiful ways you decide to give yourself just a little more grace! 🖤
