when it comes to external pressure from a family member, having the empathy to understand another´s background does all the difference, it´s an AHA ! moment cause it shows you that it´s something you could have done yourself...so, we all are about the same, we deal with life with whatever we have handy. thanks so much for your work barb, you just keep on getting better at your videos, congrats !

Never had that external pressure, I was pretty much free range from the get go 🤔. I watch all your videos because they are interesting even if they don't apply directly to me.

Perfectionism in me is entirely internal.

Not that difficult because perfect does not exist.
