  • Ep.159 The Transformative Power of Gratitude: A Thanksgiving Gratitude Special

In this special Thanksgiving edition, I reflect on how intentionally practicing gratitude reshaped my life, my mindset, and even the way I navigate challenges.

  • Ep.158 Why Perfectionism Holds You Back — And How to Choose Progress Over Perfection

    What if the work you’re hiding because it’s “not perfect” is exactly what someone else needs right now? In this episode, Sabine Kvenberg opens up about her own journey with perfectionism and the moment she decided to hide an older video she once shared with the world—simply because it no longer met her evolving standards. She reflects on how that decision taught her a powerful lesson: growth is visible in the work we once considered “good enough.”

    Sabine invites you to embrace progress over perfection, to share your work even when it feels imperfect, and to see every creation as a snapshot of who you were at that moment in time. Through honest stories and practical insight, she highlights the value of authenticity, the beauty of evolution, and the impact your imperfect journey can have in inspiring others to keep going.
