S1E10 | Perfectionism: The Thief of Progress

Perfectionism has held me back from so much—not because I wasn’t capable, but because I was too afraid to mess up and disappoint myself. My new public venture has forced me to face that fear head-on, and in doing so, I’ve felt a shift—towards growth, self-trust, and actually living. In this episode, I unpack what’s changed, how I’m learning to take up space without hesitation, and why moving forward (even imperfectly) feels so much better than standing still.
