Let’s be honest: perfectionism used to work. It helped you over-deliver, hide your self-doubt, and push through the pressure. But now? It’s burning you out.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how perfectionism really shows up, especially for high-achievers who’ve been hustling their whole careers. I share how I used it to mask my ADHD, imposter syndrome, and fear of being “found out”… and why it stopped working.
You’ll learn 3 practical, slightly uncomfortable, totally liberating tactics I’ve used myself (and with clients) to shift out of perfectionist mode and get more done, with less mental drama.
In this episode, I riff on:
↠ The real reason you’re procrastinating (hint: it’s not laziness)
↠ Why “done is better than perfect” is more than just a quote
↠ How to let go of gold-plating your work without lowering your standards
↠ What happens when you try B-minus work, and no one notices 👀
↠ The power of time limits and messy drafts to unlock creativity
Perfectionism can look like ambition, but it’s actually fear wearing a nice blazer. If you’re craving more freedom, more energy, and better results with less pressure, this episode is your permission slip.
✨ Let’s test a different way of working, one that actually feels good.
