Do you ever feel like your wellness journey has to be flawless to be valid? Like if you’re not hitting every macro, doing every workout, or eating perfectly clean, you’re somehow failing? 

In this episode we get real about the sneaky ways perfectionism shows up in our wellness routines—and how it quietly steals our joy, intuition, and self-trust. From obsessing over food tracking to chasing an impossible ideal of “doing it right,” we explore how perfectionism turns healing into a performance. 

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to be perfect to be well. You just have to be present.
