Today's special guest is the epitome of strength (inside and out) and one of the most beautiful movement practitioners I've ever seen. I met Jamie a number of years ago and was so inspired by her quiet courage, love of all things strength and fabulous hair.

Ever a student of life, Jamie has a thirst for learning and self-development that has seen her through the darkest, most challenging parts of her life. Her willingness to be vulnerable and lean into struggle is one of the reasons I've been so drawn to her and why I was so excited to have her on the podcast. I can't wait for you to meet and be inspired by her!

Tune in to this week's episode to learn:

• what it means to Jamie to "struggle strong" and the impetus for the movement she started
• how Jamie uses writing as both a creative and healing outlet
• her view on life as one long ongoing learning opportunity
• how looks can be deceiving and why it's important to her to share difficult and often hidden topics publicly

About Jamie Snow:

Jamie is a Personal Trainer by trade but likes to refer to herself as a Movement and Wellbeing Coach.

She believes that through intentional movement, breathing and self discovery work people can improve their overall quality of life. She came into her specific brand of practice from years of managing her own mental health journey as it coincided with the trial and error process that is being human, both inside and outside of the gym.

She is passionate about helping people help themselves through a lens of physical health and the never ending work that is personal development.

Jamie is a proud dog mom, a lover of wine and a (sunscreen wearing) sun worshipper.

If your answer to the common interview question “what’s your biggest weakness?” is some version of “I’m a bit of a perfectionist”, you’re in the right place. And don’t get me wrong; while a generous dose of healthy striving can improve the quality of your work, and life in general, there is a dark side to setting extremely high standards for yourself and those around you. In today’s episode, we’ll be deep diving into the second way we Women in Progress show up when we hustle for our worthiness: as perfectionists. So if you’re ready to tackle your relationship with perfectionism once and for all, be sure to hit play!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What perfectionism is and how it might be showing up in your life
• The ways we justify our perfectionist tendencies to ourselves
• Subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways your behavior is actually perfectionism
• Why perfectionism isn’t serving you, even though it can feel like something to be proud of
• The ways perfectionism has held me back in different areas of my life
• How having a different perspective of failure is a powerful tool in overcoming perfectionism

Do any of the following describe you? Feel buried under an endless To-Do list? Feel guilty saying no? Constantly worried about what others will think? If you said yes to any of these questions, you may be a people pleaser! The good news? You’re not alone and there’s a lot you can do to amend your approval seeking behaviours and validate yourself.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What people-pleasing is and how it might be showing up in your life
• The psychology behind why we people please and the feelings driving us to abandon ourselves
• Subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways your behavior is actually people-pleasing
• How to cut the cord of external validation and approve of yourself 

If you’re the kind of person who feels the pressure to keep others happy or maybe you find yourself seeking approval more often than necessary, this episode is especially for you.
