Show Notes: Embracing Your Perfection

If you’ve ever felt “not good enough” or caught yourself believing that you’re inherently flawed, this episode is for you.

I’m taking a deep, honest look at the idea of perfection—not as something to achieve, but as something you already hold within you.

We’ll explore the structures that taught us to question our worth, what it means to release these layers, and how to reconnect with your truest self.

In this episode, I’ll share:

• Why viewing yourself as “flawed” keeps you stuck in shame and struggle
• How questioning the institutions and beliefs you grew up with can help you find your own truth
• What it feels like to move from self-criticism to self-trust, and how that shift opens up new possibilities
• Simple ways to notice when you’re judging yourself and choose a more supportive approach
• How recognizing your innate perfection can help you create more peace, confidence, and fulfillment in every part of your life

If you’ve been holding onto the idea that you need to “fix” yourself to become good enough, it’s time to let that go.

Listen in and start embracing the perfection that’s been within you all along.

Billing Contemporaneously isn’t just about knowing "how" to do it — it’s about what’s happening between your ears.

When you recognize that billing on time is a mental game, you can break free from the cycle of putting it off and stressing at the end of the month.

In this episode, you'll understand:

• Why billing contemporaneously is more about mindset than method
• How your beliefs can either drain your energy or help you follow through
• A simple exercise to identify unhelpful thoughts and intentionally replace them with more supportive ones
• How connecting billing to your bigger goals can transform it from a dreaded chore into a meaningful part of your day
• The importance of creating a Belief Plan to make billing feel easier and become more habitual

If billing feels like a dreaded chore, listen in.

You’ll walk away understanding that billing contemporaneously is a learnable skill, and that you have the power to make it a habit.
