Perfectionism nearly kept this podcast from ever existing. In this opening episode, I share the story of recording what I thought would be the “perfect” first episode—and almost deleting it. You’ll hear how I learned to publish imperfectly, spot the signs of perfectionism, and move forward anyway. I also share why community is the secret ingredient to growth and what’s next for the Summer in Life Podcast: real, raw conversations with members, advisors, and experts who know what it means to build boldly. If you’ve ever delayed starting because it wasn’t “perfect,” this one’s for you.
