Perfectionism might look like high standards on the surface, but underneath, it’s often fear in disguise—fear of judgment, fear of failure, and fear of not being “good enough.” In this episode, I unpack how perfectionism keeps us stuck, why it’s really about self-criticism and punishment, and how it robs us of creativity, progress, and joy. 

I’ll share practical tools to loosen perfectionism’s grip—from practicing “B-work,” to reframing mistakes as experiments, to learning how to move forward even when things feel messy or incomplete. 

If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I’ll start when it’s perfect,” this conversation is your permission slip to stop waiting and start living.
