Perfectionism as Fear Armor


Listen Later

You've probably said it in a job interview. Maybe even with a little pride. "My biggest weakness? I'm kind of a perfectionist."

In this episode, Alison is going to show you what perfectionism actually is. Not the version you polish up for interviews but the real one. The one that has been running your life behind the scenes and quietly costing you your speed, your creativity, your joy, and your real connection with people.

Perfectionism is not high standards. It is fear in an extremely well tailored suit. In this episode you'll see exactly how it connects to the proving loop and imposter syndrome because all three are trying to solve the exact same wound with three different strategies, and none of them are working.

Today's Toolbox is the Done List — a deceptively simple practice that trains your brain to finally see how much you're already doing every single day.

You are not a perfectionist. You're a woman who was never taught she was enough without the armor.

Enjoy. 🌙
