Perfection Will Ruin Your Plan
If you’ve ever fallen “off track,” felt frustrated, and decided to just start again next week — this episode is going to feel very familiar.
Today is Day 7 in our special New Year series:
✨ 10 Planning Lessons I Wish I Knew Sooner
(So You Don’t Have to Learn the Hard Way)
Across these 10 episodes, we’re rethinking planning for busy, ambitious moms — not as punishment or perfection, but as support, clarity, and sustainability.
And today’s truth may sting a little (in the best way):
👉 Perfection will ruin your plan.
Because when your plan requires flawless execution, real life can’t live inside it. And instead of adjusting when things get off track, most of us just quit — then feel like we failed.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
✔ how perfection disguises itself as “discipline”
✔ the shame spiral that happens when things don’t go according to plan
✔ why flexibility beats rigid rules every single time
✔ what a “reset ritual” is — and how to use it when life goes sideways
✔ why messy consistency creates more long-term success
By the end, you’ll have permission to release the guilt, reset without drama, and keep moving — even if the plan didn’t go perfectly.
And if you’re ready to build a plan designed for real life, join me on January 11 for the live:
🎯 How to Plan Your Best Year Ever Workshop
We’ll create flexible systems, realistic routines, and reset strategies together — so you don’t burn out or quit halfway through the year.

You don’t need perfection to make progress.
You just need a plan that lets you begin again.
