Perfection feels safe — but it’s also a trap. For conscientious women, the drive to “get it right” can spiral into endless tweaks, delays, and burnout. In this episode, we explore why progress is more powerful than perfection — and how shifting from flawless to forward can transform the way you work and live.

Through real stories and practical strategies, we’ll unpack:

• Why perfectionism is less about high standards and more about fear of being “not enough.”

• The hidden cost of always chasing flawless results.

• Simple shifts that free up time, reduce stress, and build confidence.

✨ Key Takeaways

• Perfectionism drains energy — progress creates momentum.

• Define what “good enough” looks like instead of moving the bar endlessly.

• Deadlines create freedom by stopping the endless polishing cycle.

• ROI thinking helps you focus perfection where it truly matters.

• Sharing early invites collaboration and builds trust.
