Inside Perfectionism with Abi Denyer-Bewick

Life - An Inside Job

I got very lucky and my dear friend Abi Denyer-Bewick agreed to have a conversation with me about perfectionism, how we constantly feel we’re getting things wrong, have to try harder and are just not enough.

We ask, what if you couldn’t get it wrong? What if we turned to kindness instead?

Abi is a passionate advocate for cyclical living and all things menstrual. She works using the Medicine Circle, Yoga, Sensual Kink and Intimacy practices, Grief Rituals, Eating Psychology and Functional Medicine. But more importantly, she’s an all-round gorgeous person. We talked about:

• Body perfectionism
• Trying to get it right
• Not being enough
• The challenge of resting enough
• The many, many different ways of resting
• The many joys and evils of social media
• Abi’s journey with fertility
• The deceptive power of kindness
• The subtle ways we sabotage ourselves
• The systems that keep us stuck
• How the sense of being enough changes with the menstrual cycle

And how to interrupt all the trying super-hard to choose something better and of course, Abi’s top tip to reconnect with feeling that we are enough
