Hi, my name is Jacq, and I’m a recovering perfectionist. The thing with perfectionism is that the more you chase it, the less you achieve. Perfectionism is rooted in fear and is a form of self-abuse. It’s time to rewire those tendencies toward perfectionism. Today on the podcast, we’re going to talk about why I don’t believe in setting goals, rather, I believe the magic happens in setting intentions. We’re also going to dive deep and think about the things you haven’t done and the actions you ha...

There are moments when you look up and realize you’ve been outsourcing decisions and neglecting your intuition. Moments when you hit a wall. For Jacq, that was the moment she found herself in with the podcast last spring. Her typical response would have been to push through the burnout, force the situation and make something happen. But 2020 brought an opportunity to try a different approach, to trust that the resistance was there for a reason. It brought a chance to step back and wait to feel t...
