Ep. 116: How to Break Free from Perfectionism and Start Taking Action
Episode description
How often do you catch yourself saying, “I’m such a perfectionist,” but not as a complaint, more like a humblebrag? It’s time to get real: perfectionism is not a badge of honor. It’s not helping you strive for excellence. It’s holding you back.
In this episode, we’re diving into the truth about perfectionism:
- Why it’s rooted in fear, not ambition.
- How it sneaks into your life disguised as a virtue.
- The ways it’s sabotaging your progress and keeping you stuck.
- And, most importantly, practical tools to help you let go of the pressure to be perfect and start making real, meaningful progress.
If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the fear of failure or overwhelmed by the need to “get it right,” this episode will help you break free from perfectionism and move forward with clarity, confidence, and freedom.
