229: Lower the Bar


Listen Later

This week, I’m inviting you to lower the bar—not because you’re incapable, but because perfectionism is stalling your progress. I’m breaking down the difference between high standards and paralysis, why “good enough” matters, and how showing up honestly (even in process) is what moves you forward.


In This Episode:

  • Why perfectionism is fear in a Gucci belt :)

  • The difference between high standards and creative paralysis

  • What it really means to “lower the bar” without lowering your vision

  • How to release your work even when it’s still “working”

  • A new definition of progress you can actually feel good about
