If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionist or people-pleasing tendencies, this one’s for you.
I’m sitting down with Margaret Ghielmetti to talk about her phenomenal book Brave(ish): A Memoir of a Recovering Perfectionist.
Margaret Davis Ghielmetti is a writer, storyteller, solo performance artist, and photographer who wrote Brave(ish): A Memoir of a Recovering Perfectionist to inspire readers that it’s never too late to learn to live our own lives if we dare to let go of outdated roles and rules we thought kept us safe.
Margaret has lived on four continents with her Swiss husband. Her journeys inform her rallying cry (“The world is not my enemy!”) and her creative work, including winning two StorySLAMs with The Moth.
Margaret loves to entertain readers and listeners with her adventures (and mis-adventures) abroad and is passionate about sharing what other countries and cultures have taught her.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
- How Margaret’s experiences of being vulnerable in her stage storytelling informed her writing
- Why Margaret had to confront the rules and roles in the “Davis Family Handbook”
- How she learned to let down the mask of the perfect hostess, tour guide, expat and be her authentic self
