Healing often feels harder than it needs to be — not because you don't know what to do, but because you feel pressure to do it perfectly.

In today's Daily Shift, we talk about why healing is not a performance, but a practice. If you grew up in an environment where mistakes felt unsafe, it makes sense that imperfection still feels uncomfortable now.

This episode offers permission to practice — gently, imperfectly, and without self-punishment — while your nervous system learns that growth doesn't require perfection.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why perfectionism can interfere with healing

• How early experiences shape our fear of mistakes

• The difference between progress and performance

• Why practicing imperfectly builds long-term safety and self-trust

A grounding reminder:

You don't have to get it right to move forward. You're allowed to try, adjust, and try again. Healing happens through practice — not perfection.

Small shifts, practiced with compassion, create real change.
