Do you ever notice yourself jumping from one project to the next - always busy but rarely feeling complete? In this episode, I share a story about one of my 1:1 clients that perfectly captures what I call the Scramble Cycle. It’s that perfectionist pattern of getting something 80% done, hitting a snag or losing momentum and then rushing off to the next thing that suddenly feels more urgent.

You’ll hear how my client was caught in the Scramble Cycle and what became possible once I pointed out the pattern. I also talk about how this pattern shows up for perfectionist entrepreneurs in subtle ways: when we avoid the final steps, procrastinate on tech setup or abandon an almost-finished project because it feels safer to stay “in progress” than to feel exposed by completing it.

If you’ve ever found yourself constantly scrambling, always behind and never quite finished, this episode will help you see exactly why that happens - and what to do differently so you can finally feel on top of things again.
