In this intimate solo episode of The Soft Edit, Luam unpacks our complicated relationship with mistakes and why perfectionism is often less about excellence and more about survival 🧠💭For many of us, the fear of getting it wrong is rooted in trauma. We were taught that being “perfect” was the price of love, safety, and success. But a life without mistakes is often a life without depth 🚧✨In this episode, we explore:

• Why perfectionism feels like a sentence, not a lesson 😮‍💨

• How mistakes become the messy magic that grows us 🌱
• Forgiving your past self and moving forward with grace 💌
