77: Why Done is Better Than Perfect ( Post the Draft )

Text me your content win!

Ever found yourself spiraling into perfectionism and letting a perfectly good idea sit in your drafts for way too long? Same. 

But today, I'm breaking down a major mindset shift I had... all thanks to painting the walls of my new apartment (yes, your girl has an actual address now—who knew?!).

In this episode, I’m sharing the real, messy, imperfect metaphor that turned my content strategy mindset on its head: The First Coat Rule.  It’s all about just getting it done and making it better later—because let’s be honest, that draft sitting in your phone isn’t helping anyone.

Here’s what we dive into:

  • Why done is better than perfect when it comes to content creation
  • How overthinking kills momentum (and how to get it back)
  • A little pep talk for my fellow people-pleasers
  • Why your content doesn’t need to be a masterpiece to be profitable
  • The difference between real feedback and made-up problems

Whether you're a seasoned travel content creator or just getting started as a digital content creator, this episode is your permission slip to take messy action and build momentum. Because your audience doesn’t care about perfect—they care about connection, consistency, and YOU showing up.

🔥 Episode Challenge:
Dig up one of those dusty drafts, give it a once-over, and POST IT. Then go do something fun while your brain panics and realizes the world didn’t end. You got this.
