Perfection feels safe — but it’s also a trap. For conscientious women, the drive to “get it right” can spiral into endless tweaks, delays, and burnout. In this episode, we explore why progress is more powerful than perfection — and how shifting from flawless to forward can transform the way you work and live.
Through real stories and practical strategies, we’ll unpack:
Why perfectionism is less about high standards and more about fear of being “not enough.”
The hidden cost of always chasing flawless results.
Simple shifts that free up time, reduce stress, and build confidence.
✨ Key Takeaways
Perfectionism drains energy — progress creates momentum.
Define what “good enough” looks like instead of moving the bar endlessly.
Deadlines create freedom by stopping the endless polishing cycle.
ROI thinking helps you focus perfection where it truly matters.
Sharing early invites collaboration and builds trust.
