I stumbled upon this week\u2019s guest on Lewis Howes\u2019 podcast, \u2018The School of Greatness,\u2019 and I was only about 5 minutes into that episode when I realized that she needed to be on our show as well.\xa0\xa0

This week, we\u2019re speaking with\xa0Dr. Margaret Rutherford, clinical psychologist and author of the new book \u201cPerfectly Hidden Depression: How to Break Free from the Perfectionism that Masks Your\xa0Depression.\u201d\xa0\xa0

This is such a powerful episode because Dr. Rutherford\u2019s work hits on some of the basic things we can all do to foster self-compassion and\xa0self-acceptance.\xa0\xa0\xa0

In this episode, Margaret shares with us:\xa0

• Three different types of perfectionism and how they link to and mask\xa0depression\xa0
• The link between perfectly hidden depression and where we place our value as a human being\xa0
• The role that shame plays in perpetuating this cycle\xa0
• How to accept ourselves and develop self-compassion for our whole selves, not just our strengths\xa0\xa0

Margaret also gives us a peek into the methodology she teaches in her book by offering 3 actionable steps you can take to develop even greater self-awareness in this area and\xa0move forward in the direction of ridding yourself from some of the shame you might be feeling.\xa0\xa0

This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves and loving our whole selves,\xa0faults and all.\xa0\xa0
