In this episode, Tracy takes a raw and honest look at how the perfectionism you may deny, sabotages your relationship. You’ll uncover why striving for perfection creates pain instead of connection. More importantly, you’ll get tips on changing that make a difference,

What You’ll Learn:
* Perfectionism is a mask for deeper fears.
* Blaming your partner for struggles keeps you stuck.
* Taking responsibility for your own triggers.
* Becoming more emotionally available and having it all.

"Perfectionism doesn’t come from love or confidence—it comes from pain, and if you’re bringing it into your relationship, it’s only creating more of the same." ~ Tracy Crossley

#789: The Perfect Marriage

Caught in a cycle of blaming others for how you feel? You might think self-acceptance comes from others accepting you first. Wrong. That approach builds walls, creates resentment, and slowly kills your relationships.

Codependency, anyone? Giving the remote control to your emotions to someone else NEVER leads to self acceptance. 

In this episode, Tracy explores:
* Why you feel resentment rather than acceptance
* What is a trigger that leads you to a world of hurt?
* How to actually accept yourself.

"Where there is judgment, love is not happening in those moments ~ Love of yourself or the other person." ~ Tracy Crossley

I’ve been there, and discuss sensitive subjects using my own experiences with a lot of laughs and even more empathy… because we’re all flawed humans.
