Ep. 22 ”Because I’m not enough, I will be perfect to prove my value” Sara Whedon’s False Narrative

Somehow Dr. Sara Whedon established a picture of perfection that she strived for daily. Around age 16 she knew she could not keep up this perfect life. In her 20’s, she questioned “When did I start thinking ‘I should be ___ by now’”? But she couldn’t figure out how to let it go of the norms she believed and what a perfect life looked like. But when her mom was diagnosed with cancer she had to fall into being present and problem solving and that did not reflect perfection.

That opened a whole new chapter of life where she decided she did have value! She thought to herself, “Clearly, there are things I don’t know. I want to move forward. And the only way to move forward is to do something different.” She got help because she knew someone who had value deserved help. Now she helps others do the same. She lets them know you can do hard things when you are scared, suffering, don’t know the outcome, and even when you don’t want to.
