I’m opening up about a battle many of us face but rarely talk about: perfectionism. It’s that nagging voice in our heads telling us that we’re not good enough unless everything is flawless. But here’s the truth—I’ve let perfectionism hold me back from enjoying life’s simplest joys and making meaningful progress on my goals and I know you have to.

I’ll share a recent experience where I decided to drop the need for perfection and just dive into something fun. The result? A night filled with laughter, connection, and a powerful realization about what really matters. I’ll also talk about how perfectionism disguises itself as high standards and often keeps us stuck and afraid to move forward.

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the fear of not being good enough, or if you’ve found yourself delaying projects, goals, or even simple pleasures because you’re waiting for the “perfect” moment, this episode is for you. We’ll dive deep into why progress is more valuable than perfection and how letting go of the need to be flawless can lead to more joy, creativity, and fulfillment in your life.

Join me as I challenge the perfectionism trap, share insights from my own journey, and offer practical tips to help you start embracing progress today. This is an episode that could change the way you approach your goals, your happiness, and your life. Don’t miss it!
