I am Aylin Webb; Psychologist, Anxiety Mastery Coach, Author, Accredited CBT Therapist, EMDR Therapist, Perfectionism Specialist & Public Speaker. My book "Perfectly Imperfect: Cultivating Your Self-worth In A Demanding World" is out now on Amazon. Order your copy here: https://amzn.to/46sLwys.

My guest in this episode is the amazing Michelle Y. Green, an award-winning author of biography and historical fiction for children and young adults. Michelle open-heartedly shares her struggles with perfectionism, how she has learned from her parents that in the 1960's you had to be flawless to be accepted as a black person, as well as the guilt that comes with not meeting her own and her parents' high expectations. Through her sincere and relatable story, we will explore the impact of societal and familial pressures. Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation.
