Listen Later

Do you wear perfectionism like a badge of honor?

Maybe you tell yourself that it’s the reason you’re successful—the thing that keeps you disciplined, polished, and ahead of the game. That being meticulous is what sets you apart.

But let’s be real—what has perfectionism also given you? Overthinking? Anxiety? A chronic sense that no matter what you accomplish, it’s never quite enough?

Perfectionism isn’t actually a flex—it’s a stress response. And if you’ve been wearing it like a badge of honor, it might be the very thing keeping you stuck.

In this episode, we’ll break down:

  • 🔥 How perfectionism keeps you playing small, not helping you grow
  • 🧠 How your nervous system reinforces perfectionism(spoiler: you can rewire it)
  • 💡 The sneaky ways perfectionism blocks learning, growth, & creativity
  • 🔑 Simple, body-based strategies to break the cycle and ewire your brain for resilience, confidence, and ease

How about we stop letting perfectionism call the shots? Listen in, and let’s start unlearning the patterns that are keeping you overwhelmed, overworked, and over it. 💛
