The Perfectionism Project

Most perfectionists struggle to create content consistently. They're scared of what people will think, that they'll say the wrong thing, that no one will like their posts, that their friends will laugh at them, that it'll be a waste of effort, the list goes on!

In this episode, I'm sharing 10 tips I've learned over the last 6 years as a content creator that have helped me get out of my own way, show up consistently as who I truly am and change the lives of thousands of women around the world in the process. I hope these tips help you to stay consistent too!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• How to feel confident when creating content, even if you're not an expert
• Why you should focus on 'documenting' rather than creating (and what it looks like)
• The reason you should ignore your brain when it says your content isn't good enough
• Why you shouldn't focus on creating a content "streak" and what to do instead
• How to stop feeling scared of creating imperfect content
• Why sharing your imperfections is the best way to create content

In this episode, I'm sharing 5 reasons your money mindset matters. I hope this gives you some inspiration to be more intentional with your finances and a few ideas about what you can do to upgrade your money mindset.

Most perfectionists are all too familiar with burnout - as well as the overwhelm, procrastination and guilt that surrounds it. I know I definitely am! For over a decade, I reliably burned out at least once every six months. I felt helpless to the cycle and that the most I could hope for was learn how to spot the signs early.

But now, after more than 2 years without burning out, I can safely say that burnout doesn't have to be part of your life - even if you're a recovering perfectionist with A LOT of big goals and a busy schedule. In this episode, I'm sharing the real cause of burnout and how to avoid it. I hope you find it helpful!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• My personal experience with burnout and the negative impact it had on my life
• The real reason that perfectionists burnout so often
• Why burnout isn't caused by your to-do list, your busy schedule or lack of sleep
• How to spot the thoughts that are making you feel overwhelmed, before they take over
• The hidden upside to burnout and why it's so hard to stop
