Shameless Leadership

657: Miranda Anderson: Overcoming Perfectionism to Live More Adventurously


Listen Later

As a speaker, teacher, podcast host and author, Miranda Anderson provides tools and inspiration for women to live a creative, adventurous, and intentional life. Starting out as a lifestyle blogger in 2007, Miranda now offers thousands of weekly listeners of the Live Free Creative podcast something new to think about, feel and DO as they move toward living the life of their dreams. In 2018, she published ‘More Than Enough’ to chronicle her family’s 12-month no-shopping challenge that both shaped their perspective and family culture, and informed some of her most popular content on sustainability and intentionality. Since then, she’s hosted online courses, creative retreats, and in-person workshops in her efforts to help those ‘go-getter at heart’ women who feel stuck by circumstances live a life more aligned with their dreams and values.


Listen in to hear Miranda share:

  • Her philosophy on “just going for it”, knowing full well she may fail
  • The massive impact of her 12 month no-shopping minimalism challenge, which inspired her book, More Than Enough
  • What she learned about herself and how she learned to listen to her intuition by not buying anything new for herself or her family of 5 for 12 months
  • How the 12 month challenge evolved and inspired her work today
  • How she helps moms adopt a sense of adventure as a mindset
  • Using adventure as a mindset and a lens to creativity, curiosity, connection, calm
  • The difference between perfectionism and striving in how we manage outcomes
  • How moms (especially risk averse or perfectionist moms) can practice being adventurous in low stakes way that can have big impact
