This week, we're exploring the quiet ways perfectionism disguises itself as discipline, responsibility, and even maturity, and how "I'll enjoy it when…" might be the very phrase keeping you from fully living.
Through a personal reflection on home, hosting, entrepreneurship, and high-capacity womanhood, Colet is unpacking how waiting for the perfect conditions can quietly delay joy, connection, and momentum.
Press play and you'll walk away with a gentler, more liberating lens on participation, one that allows you to light the candle, pour the wine, host the dinner, start the project, and stop postponing your life for a future version of yourself.
In this episode, we dive into:
• Why "I'll enjoy it when…" is one of the most dangerous narratives we carry
• How perfectionism quietly delays joy, connection, and self-trust
• The hidden cost of waiting for work, money, or life to "settle down"
• What the French understand about daily pleasure and participation
• Practical ways to start living now, even in unfinished seasons
