1336: The Toxic Fantasy of Doing It "Right"


Listen Later

Your ego will demand a 10… when a consistent 3 would've changed your life.

We glorify the grind. We chase the ideal. We obsess over the best way, the most extreme plan, the perfect strategy — and in doing so, we reject the one thing that actually works: consistency at a realistic level.

This episode is a deep dive into the lie that's been holding you back — the toxic fantasy that you have to "do it right" or not at all. It's the all-or-nothing trap, dressed up in perfectionism and powered by ego. And it's keeping you sick, stuck, and afraid.

You think you need a total overhaul. You think you need discipline, intensity, a fresh start on Monday. You don't.

You need to make peace with a 3. You need to build a life you want to stay in. Because the perfect plan you can't stick with will never compete with the "good enough" one you do daily.

In this episode:

  • Why your standards might be the reason you're not making progress

  • How perfectionism is just a prettier form of procrastination

  • The hidden ego in "not enough" thinking

  • What actually builds momentum (and why you're probably skipping it)

This is a call-out — and an invitation.

You don't need a 10. You need to stop waiting for one.

👉🏼 If this resonates…

But you want help implementing a plan you want to stay on, consider working with me in The Consistency Course!
