Is perfectionism secretly running your business (and burning you out)? In this episode of Look What She Built, Jaime sits down with Magdalena Chainska—a sales and mindset coach, former corporate high-achiever, and recovering perfectionist, to talk about what it really takes to create a fulfilling business without letting fear and pressure dictate your decisions.

Magda shares her powerful story of leaving behind a 23-year corporate career, investing in herself for the first time, and shifting her identity from exhausted overachiever to thriving entrepreneur. If you've ever felt stuck in "analysis paralysis" or like your work is never quite good enough to share, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a loving nudge forward.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why perfectionism is sneaky—and how to recognize when it’s creeping back in

• The identity work and daily practices that helped Magda break free

• What to do when you’re spinning on a task or project that “isn’t ready yet”

• Making bold moves (like quitting your job) without losing your mind

• How to set meaningful goals when your nervous system isn’t on board yet

• The difference between excellence and perfection

• Why “just start messy” is more than a mindset—it’s a strategy

You’ll love this if you’re:

• Tired of spinning your wheels trying to make things “just right”

• Curious about who you could become without perfectionism running the show

• Ready to commit fully to your business dreams—even if it’s not perfect yet

If this episode gave you a permission slip to be imperfect—pass it on.
