What if the pressure to be perfect is the very thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™ with Ginny Priem, I sit down with Dr. Rachel Goldman, clinical psychologist, CBT expert, and media contributor featured on The Oprah Winfrey Network, The Today Show, among many other national publications.

Dr. Goldman’s new book When Life Happens explores how we respond when life doesn’t go according to plan—and why so many of us default to perfectionism, people pleasing, toxic positivity, and unrealistic expectations.

Together we unpack how cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical tools to respond differently.

This conversation is about letting go of the pressure to perform, fixing the stories we tell ourselves, and learning how to UNSUBSCRIBE™ from perfect.

If you have ever struggled with overthinking, needing approval, or feeling like you should have everything figured out by now, this episode will give you tools to move forward.
