What’s Not Said

Overcoming Perfectionism: Perfect or F*&k It

This is a repost of a video blog I filmed back in November of 2010. That’s old. And I filmed it in my car, waiting to go into the dentist. But that imperfect style is the point, as you’ll see…Here’s a purposely imperfect post dedicated to my awesome client whose family story is “Perfect or Fuck
