Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. 

I'm your host Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.

Let’s be honest: perfectionism used to work. It helped you over-deliver, hide your self-doubt, and push through the pressure. But now? It’s burning you out.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how perfectionism really shows up, especially for high-achievers who’ve been hustling their whole careers. I share how I used it to mask my ADHD, imposter syndrome, and fear of being “found out”… and why it stopped working.

You’ll learn 3 practical, slightly uncomfortable, totally liberating tactics I’ve used myself (and with clients) to shift out of perfectionist mode and get more done, with less mental drama.

In this episode, I riff on:

↠ The real reason you’re procrastinating (hint: it’s not laziness) ↠ Why “done is better than perfect” is more than just a quote ↠ How to let go of gold-plating your work without lowering your standards ↠ What happens when you try B-minus work, and no one notices 👀 ↠ The power of time limits and messy drafts to unlock creativity

Perfectionism can look like ambition, but it’s actually fear wearing a nice blazer. If you’re craving more freedom, more energy, and better results with less pressure, this episode is your permission slip.

✨ Let’s test a different way of working, one that actually feels good.
