Are you letting perfectionism sneak in and keep you from chasing your dreams? In this episode of Dream to Done, I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Bonnie Christensen, to talk about how perfectionism shows up in our lives especially when we’re setting big goals or stepping outside of our comfort zones.

We dive into:

  • The four types of perfectionism and how they show up in everyday life
  • Sneaky ways perfectionism disguises itself as “balance” or “being intentional”
  • How comparison, negative self-talk, and unrealistic expectations hold us back
  • Why awareness is step zero for making meaningful change
  • How vision boards and goal-setting can help you make progress without falling into the perfectionist trap

Bonnie also shares her personal journey with perfectionism and practical steps you can take to notice and shift your own patterns so you can move forward with confidence.

If perfectionism has ever stopped you from going after your goals, this conversation will give you encouragement and tools to start taking action without the guilt.
