90. F##k Perfectionism - it keeps you poor with Laura Perkes

Women & Money Cafe

WARNING: this episode contains strong language.
Our guest, Laura delves deep into the topic of perfectionism and its surprising connection to keeping people poor.
We look at how generational shifts and beliefs feed into perfectionism. And how it can consume us, especially when it came to balancing being a professional and a mother.
Laura and the rest of us at Women & Money Cafe agree: it's time to embrace our imperfections. Being human is enough, and striving for perfection only holds us back from achieving our financial goals.
Welcome back to another episode of Women & Money Cafe! In today's episode titled "F##k Perfectionism," we have the amazing and insightful Laura joining us. We stumbled upon Laura through a networking group and a Reddit post that caught our attention.
