In this episode of How to Relate, therapist Bianca Hughes joins Brittani to explore the exhausting cycle of perfectionism, the pressure to meet others’ expectations, and what it truly means to live in alignment with your authentic self. Bianca shares her personal journey—including selling her home and taking a global sabbatical—to illustrate how reconnecting with your true identity can create freedom, trust, and joy.
