About this listen

The Pressure to Be Perfect unpacks the hidden toll of perfectionism—the late nights, the self-doubt, the fear of never being enough. In each episode, Dr. Shahrzad Jalali blends clinical wisdom with real-world stories to reveal how perfectionism forms, why it’s so hard to shake, and how it keeps us trapped in cycles of burnout and anxiety.

Listeners will learn to spot the inner critic, challenge impossible standards, and build a new relationship with success—one rooted in authenticity, not fear. Whether you identify as a high achiever, a people-pleaser, or someone who simply struggles with self-worth, this podcast offers practical tools and soulful insights to help you step out of perfection and into freedom.
