The Myth of Perfect

Perfect (adjective): 1. having all the required or desirable elements, qualities, or characteristics; as good as it is possible to be. 2. (verb) to make (something) completely free from faults or defects. 3. (truth) a concept (not a real thing), and thus not objectively attainable. A myth. Being a perfectionist may seem like a flex and it might help you in some areas of life, but chasing "perfect" almost always takes more than it gives. So join your charmingly imperfect psychologist besties in exploring the power of striving for Good Enough.

Why High Achievers Need Community

Is making and sustaining community on your list of achievements? Because it should be! Few things are as powerful for our health and happiness as being connected to others, even if it doesn't seem as sexy on paper as a promotion or beautiful home! So roll up with your psychologist besties and learn why you should consider joining your local bird watching group and/or charity bowling league.

Cults and the High Achiever

What do multilevel-level marketing, highly restrictive wellness programs and intense niche religious movements (Not saying which ones! Stop looking at me, Tom Cruise!) have in common? They all use tactics common in cults! Put on your best tin foil bonnet and join your psychologist besties to explore why ANYONE, including very intelligent high achievers, can be drawn into predatory, cult-adjacent situations.
