Are you constantly worried about making the wrong decision? Do you overthink everything, beat yourself up when reality doesn't match your expectations, or feel like you only get one chance to get things right?

In this powerful episode, Alison pulls back the curtain on the hidden perfectionism loop so many of us are stuck in. The one that creates chronic self-judgment, anxiety, indecision, and emotional exhaustion.

You'll discover why your brain believes there's a "right way" to live, how this belief was formed in childhood, and how it's still running your adult life without you realizing it. Most importantly, you'll learn the first steps to breaking free so you can finally make decisions with confidence, trust yourself, and create a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

✨ Inside this episode:

• Why you believe your choices must be perfect
• The childhood pattern that taught you love = performance
• How self-judgment and fear of "getting it wrong" keep you stuck
• Why normal emotions (doubt, discomfort, anxiety) get misinterpreted as failure
• How to create internal safety so decision-making stops feeling dangerous
• A simple nervous system practice to soften perfectionism immediately

If you're tired of overthinking, second-guessing yourself, or living by invisible rules you never agreed to, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. You'll walk away with the tools to start giving yourself permission to grow, try, fail, and live without fear of your own inner critic.
