Dr. Margaret Rutherford is celebrating her 30^th year as a psychologist in a private clinical practice that she loves in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In 2014, Dr. Margaret published an article on The Huffington Post that went viral. That article evolved into Perfectly Hidden Depression, Dr. Margaret’s debut novel which focuses on how destructive perfectionism can act as an unconscious camouflage for silent despair, loneliness, and even suicidal thoughts.

Dr. Margaret joins Erin to discuss how we’ve learned to camouflage our emotional pain with accomplishments, what's underneath it all (the way we show up, our sense of humor, our personality, our energy) that needs attention, and the difference between constructive perfectionism and destructive perfectionism.

Dr. Margaret explains why perfectionism is highly regarded in corporate culture and tools we can use to heal.

If you’re looking for a science-backed understanding of perfectly hidden depression and perfectionism, this is the episode for you.

Rha Goddess is THE entrepreneurial soul coach behind hundreds of breakthrough changemakers, cultural visionaries, and social entrepreneurs. Rha is also the Founder & CEO of Move The Crowd, an entrepreneurial training company dedicated to creative and cultural entrepreneurs working at the intersection of values, profitability, and social impact.

Rha joins Erin to discuss what magnetic cultures are really about and how to achieve them, her six-step framework for people to find their calling (and where people get stuck the most), and her four-step ritual for forgiving yourself and letting go of what no longer serves you.

Rha explains that being present this year is where the revolution is and asks about the moments in our lives that force us to confront our own mortality - have we done everything that we’ve said we were going to do? Can we recognize that the ceiling really is limitless?
