Progress Over Perfection - Myth of Perfection

In this episode, we challenge the false idea that recovery—or life—requires flawless execution. The myth of perfection keeps us stuck in shame, fear, and unrealistic expectations. Together, we unpack where this pressure comes from, why it’s so destructive, and how to replace it with grace and self-compassion. Recovery isn’t about spotless records or never making mistakes—it’s about showing up, learning, and continuing forward. Let’s dismantle the myth and embrace a journey defined by progress, not perfection.
