In this vulnerable mini-episode, I dive into the topic of perfectionism and how it has been holding me back from achieving my goals—especially in launching this very podcast! Perfectionism may feel like a commitment to quality, but it often creates roadblocks that prevent us from moving forward. I reflect on how overthinking and fear of imperfection have kept me from publishing my work and achieving my goals, and I share the personal insights I’ve gained from conversations with mentors, friends, and my own journey in therapy.

Join me as I explore the challenges of perfectionism, the importance of authenticity, and the steps I’m taking to finally get out of my own way. I hope these reflections resonate with anyone who has felt the pressure to be “perfect” and who needs a reminder that “failing up” is a powerful way to grow.
