Enough
Creating peace for exhausted perfectionists
Start the new year with a new approach.
Find peace in the life you worked so hard for.
Most perfectionists do not recognize that they are perfectionists because, ironically, they see themselves as failing or imperfect.
They believe that things can, and should, always be better.
They believe that they will be happy or worthy when they are better.
The perfectionist mind often sounds like:
-
I should be a better doctor/partner/parent/friend.
-
It's never enough.
-
I can rest when I get my work done.
-
I will be happier when . . . .
-
Everyone is doing well except for me.
-
I don't want to rock the boat.
-
I'm so behind on work but I can't stop procrastinating.
-
I'm such an idiot.
If this sounds like you, you are not alone.
Despite common perception, perfectionism undermines performance, inhibits growth, and diminishes happiness.
Perfectionism robs us of our fullest job and success by connecting our worth to impossible standards or achievements.
I am a professional ballet dancer turned Primary Care Internist and Certified Life Coach. I nearly left medicine in 2015 due to burnout.
My perfectionism created:
a practice without boundaries
"Every patient deserves your best."
workaholism
"I'll feel better once these charts are done."
overwhelm
"Everyone else is fine. What's wrong with me?"
At that lonely time, I felt like I’d made a huge mistake in practicing medicine, and that I was the only doctor who was struggling. While on sabbatical, I rebuilt a life that I love, and then I returned to practice medicine.
I work with high achieving professionals who look great on paper but feel overwhelmed or unsatisfied in the life they've worked hard to create. My forward-facing, evidence-based coaching style teaches practical solutions to end perfectionist thinking.

The thought of letting go of perfectionism was terrifying because I had so much personal success and identity tied up in my external achievements. I was worried that I would fall behind if I let go of the rigid behaviors that got me through medical training and early parenting. I had no idea that I could love and like myself or live without constant worry, shame, and regret.
I promise: there is peace on the other side of perfectionism.
TESTIMONIALS
"KARA IS RELATABLE, COMPASSIONATE AND INSPIRING. I WISH THIS PROGRAM HAD BEEN AVAILABLE TO ME 10 YEARS AGO."
"I LOVED HEARING OTHER WOMEN SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES, STRUGGLES, AND WINS. WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE GET COACHED WAS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL. THE DIDACTIC PORTIONS OF THE MEETINGS WERE SHORT AND EFFECTIVE. I ALSO LOVE THE ADDITIONAL CONTENT SHARED EACH WEEK. (TED TALKS, PODCASTS, BOOKS, ETC.)"
"I LOVED THE WEEKLY GROUP COACHING AND SHARED, SAFE SPACE TO TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PROCESSED."
