<div>In this podcast, Laura chats with good friend, writer and Wardrobe ICONS Editor-at-Large, <strong>Deborah Brett</strong>.<br> <br> </div> <div>In last year’s Mother’s Day issue of The ICONS Update, we asked some of our friends to share the advice they give their children, and Deborah said: <strong>“Strive for excellence in everything you do, but not perfection. The first is a goal, the second is a straitjacket.”</strong> It’s this one piece of advice that has inspired the subject of this podcast:<strong> perfection</strong>. <br> <br> For someone who appears so perfect, this might seem a little strange, however Deborah is no stranger to less-than-perfect situations. After experiencing a career crisis, the breakdown of her marriage and the loss of her mother, <strong>Deborah has eschewed perfection</strong>, and instead mastered the art of focusing on, and sharing, the good aspects of her life. <br> <br> We hope you enjoy!<br> <br> </div>
