In this Dear Kate episode, I’m answering a message from a follower who is stepping into a career they’re passionate about; but they’re scared their perfectionist mindset will hold them back.

They don’t want fear to be the reason they give up when things get hard. Sound familiar?

Perfectionism isn’t about having high standards; it’s about fear; fear of failure, rejection, and not being good enough. And when you care deeply about something, those fears can feel even bigger. But here’s the truth: perfectionism isn’t protecting you; it’s stopping you from growing.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
✨ How fear tricks you into believing failure is the end
✨ Why embracing being a beginner is the key to success
✨ Practical ways to challenge perfectionist thoughts
✨ The importance of self-compassion in building confidence

You don’t have to be perfect to succeed, you just have to keep going. So, if perfectionism has ever made you doubt yourself or hold back from chasing your dreams, this episode is for you.

Let’s work through it together!
