Does perfectionism stand in your way? Do you struggle to own your expertise (and charge for your time) because of it? Hear how psychologists and therapists can overcome perfectionism and use a book to accelerate their practice with Michaela Thomas.
Michaela is an experienced Clinical Psychologist, Couples Therapist and founder of The Thomas Connection, as well as a speaker and author of The Lasting Connection, about developing compassion for yourself and your partner. Michaela has a special interest in perfectionism and parental mental health, especially for working mothers trying to balance work with motherhood. Michaela teaches busy ambitious people how to let go of the pressure of perfection and give themselves the permission to pause and unwind, so they can find their passion and purpose, and then move towards joy, vitality and playfulness. Michaela's mantra is 'balance over burnout'.
