In this episode, I share a very personal story on how I deal with perfectionism. As a 2nd line and a defined ego I am always looking to get better and improve. However, there was a season in my business, where this strength turned into a sabotage pattern of comparison, feelings of not enoughness and overengineering and over working without actually making progress, nor reaching the goals I wanted. 

As a high achieving women and conscious leaders I believe that it is natural to us and actually required to aspire greatness. This is where we grow and we know we are called for more. 

Many women feel bad about having big goals and thriving for more even though they are already playing big, having incredible successful businesses and lives. 

In this episode I give you a very powerful perspective shift that will empower you to embrace your perfectionism and ambition and no longer see yourself as the problem why you don't reach your goals. 

What if it’s not your perfectionism that is wrong and the reason why you didn't hit your goals wasn't that you aren't good enough….but the fact that what you have been aspiring in the first place isn't aligned with your fullest potential? 

Make sure to listen to part 2 where I break down the simple practical process I use to achieve my goals, thriving for more and finding the balance between setting high standards and giving yourself grace and self-compassion in the process.
