EP 8: From Paralysis to Play: Breaking the Perfectionism Spell
In this episode, Summer gets real about the sneaky grip of perfectionism — especially the kind that hides behind “I’m not a perfectionist, I just want to do it right.” If you’ve ever delayed a project, held back on posting, avoided creativity, or overplanned instead of playing… this one’s for you. We unpack how perfectionist behavior blocks intuition, how your brain gets stuck in loops of fear, and how to unlock your default mode network to reignite creativity, connection, and clarity.
