Ep 576: Creating The Freedom To Be The Real You
The Perfectionism Project
When I started my business, what I craved more than anything was the freedom to be the real me, the freedom to express myself and the freedom to grow. In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on freedom as an entrepreneur as well as what business looks like now as a mum of 4 kids under 5, making a full-time income on part-time hours and feeling safe to show up as myself in every part of my work. I talk about leaving my accounting job with no proof things would work, the self-belief that kept me going and the kind of courage it takes to back yourself before you have results. If you’ve ever...

Ep 573: What Got You Here *Will* Get You There
The Perfectionism Project
You might have heard the saying “what got you here WON’T get you there” when it comes to growing your business. But this saying, when interpreted by a perfectionist brain, will likely have you doing things that don’t help your business grow. I know because that’s what happened to me. Today I’m sharing why what got you here *will* get you to where you want to go. And why that doesn’t mean sacrificing learning, growth or being able to make changes.

Ep 569: Being All-In On Your Business With A Full-Time Job
The Perfectionism Project
Do you feel like having a full-time job means you can’t be all-in on your business? Or that it means you’re not taking your business ‘seriously’ enough? If that’s you, you want to tune into this episode.

Ep 567: [Planning Series] How To Follow Your Plans When You Don’t Feel Like It
The Perfectionism Project
[Part 5 of 5] There are courageous things you need to do to build your business that you might never feel excited about - like pitching yourself as a guest on one of your favourite podcasts or posting on Instagram when you’ve been getting low engagement or publishing your sales page when you’re still working on believing that your product is worth the money.
