Perfectionism - An Interview with Claire Fealy (S3 Ep10)
Podcast: Beyond Survival - The Therapy Podcast with Katie McKennaPublished On: Fri Jan 09 2026
Description: Perfectionism can look like competence, control, or high standards, but what often hides underneath is a survival strategy.In this conversation, I’m joined by, Podcast Host & Mindset Coach, Claire Fealy to explore how perfectionism hides in plain sight - in our work, relationships, bodies, and inner worlds. We talk about how perfectionism develops as protection, how it keeps us stuck in self-monitoring and self-pressure, and why it can feel so hard to let go of.Together, we explore what it actually takes to heal and gently disrupt perfectionistic patterns - without forcing change, shaming ourselves, or trying to “fix” who we are. This is a conversation about understanding, softening, and creating safety beyond survival.Follow Claire on InstagramLooking Forward 2026I’m excited to announce that I’ll be running another 6-Week C.A.L.M.
