You've probably told yourself you're a perfectionist like it's a badge of honor. Detail-oriented. High standards. Won't put your name on anything that isn't right.
But what if perfectionism isn't your superpower? What if it's the reason your website still isn't live, your inquiry response takes three hours to write, and you've been "almost ready" to raise your prices for six months?
This episode is one of our most listened-to episodes ever, and we're bringing it back because summer is exactly when perfectionism tends to win. Busier schedules, less margin, more reasons to delay the thing you know you should do.
Katy and I are both perfectionists. Different kinds, it turns out. And in this episode, we get honest about what that actually looks like in a real business and a real marriage, including how each type quietly sabotages your growth in ways you might not even recognize yet.
If you've ever delayed a decision because the timing wasn't perfect, or finished something only to immediately wonder if it was good enough, this one was made for you. You'll walk away with language for what's actually happening when you stall, overthink, or avoid, and a clearer picture of where your particular brand of perfectionism is costing you the most.
Summer is short. Don't spend it stuck.
