S2: EP26 Cracked Open - A Battle with Perfectionism with Amy Kovacevic

This week we're joined by Aimee Kovacevic, author of: Cracked Open - A Teacher's Battle with Perfection .  Aimee is a Self Love & Mindset Coach, Teacher, Author, Gym Owner & Mama.  

In this episode we explore all things burnout, perfectionism & compassion fatigue.  Things that led Aimee to crack open and notice she'd forgotten who she was, what was important to her, and what kind of human and teacher she wanted to be. 

It's such a beautiful open and raw conversation where Aimee shares with us the challenges she faced in overcoming perfectionism, suffering compassion fatigue,  and what it was like to start setting boundaries after putting everyone ahead of herself for so long. 

We also talked about:

• Her journey back to herself & awakening

• The dark night of the soul

• The links between education & burnout

• Finding your calling only to find it doesn't fill you up the way you thought it would

• Caregivers & Compassion Fatigue

• Self-awareness & accountability

• What makes us happy in our work

• Pushing down the grief of miscarriage & pretending it wasn't there

• Being told you are too much, & that you should care less

• Setting boundaries

• Growth

• Transformation

And so much more...
