Ally Dalsimer - It's Okay Not to Be Perfect Every Day

One of the traits of being a human is that we all make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. And yet, somehow, we often feel there’s something wrong with us if we don’t live the perfect lives we see depicted online and in the media. These often bring up feelings of worthlessness, inadequacity, loss of self-esteem and other negative emotions we’d rather not experience.
     There are ways to deal with these feelings that can lead to positive change. We discuss these with author Ally Dalsimer, whose book It’s Okay Not to Be Fabulous Every Day addresses these issues head on. In our lively talk, Ally shares some soul-stirring wisdom, including:

·      the right way to embrace imperfection

·      tips on how to tackle overwhelm

·      why it might be necessary and healthy to redefine success

·      dealing with conficting inner voices

·      a transformational way of looking at regret

·      an important power you can access from within
