The Prison of Perfectionism: How You Can Finally Break Free


Listen Later

51| Perfectionism isn’t the badge of honor we often think it is — it’s a prison that keeps us stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with perfectionism, how it took centre-stage in my life, and the messy but freeing path Ive been taking to overcome it. If you’ve ever felt like you’re never good enough or like fear is running the show, this one’s for you.


We cover:

  • The sneaky ways perfectionism disguises itself and keeps you small
  • Why procrastination and self-sabotage are often signs of perfectionism
  • The emotional toll of trying to “get it right” all the time
  • How self-compassion and letting go of control changed everything for me
  • Practical tools to break free from perfectionism and take bold, imperfect action
