The Demme Learning Show with Gretchen Roe

What if perfectionism isn’t something you need to “fix”… but something you can redirect?

In this conversation on the Demme Learning Show, I sit down with Gretchen Roe to unpack what perfectionism really looks like in everyday life—and why it so often keeps both parents and kids stuck, especially when learning something new like a foreign language.

We talk about the hidden patterns perfectionists fall into, how those patterns quietly shape your home, and why the usual advice never actually works.

But more importantly, we explore a different path.

One that doesn’t lower your standards…

But changes how you approach them.

Inside this episode, you’ll start to see how small shifts—in expectations, communication, and even how you define progress—can completely change the atmosphere in your home.

By the end of this episode, you may find yourself rethinking what it actually means to succeed… for you and your kids.
