Absolutely! 🙌 As a fellow 1w9, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the inner critic with the peacemaker can feel like walking a tightrope 🎪. For me, it's all about finding that sweet spot between striving for perfection and accepting that sometimes "good enough" is perfectly okay. One thing that helps is practicing self-compassion 🧘‍♀️. When my inner critic gets too loud, I remind myself that it's okay to make mistakes and that growth often comes from those imperfections 🌱.
