6 rules for walking the fine line between excellence & perfectionism

Summer Episode 117

Almost 30 hits different. First 30 flies by in a blink, the second half moves even faster. So if you’re not taking risks, if you’re not full sending life… what the hell are we even doing here?

In this episode, we’re talking about the fine line every high-achieving woman knows too well: the difference between chasing excellence vs. suffocating under perfectionism.

Because let’s be real... 

  • In the gym: it’s not enough to train hard, you feel like you gotta stay shredded 24/7, be the “fit girl,” and never miss a day even when you’re sick.
  • At work: you’re the reliable one, carrying the whole damn team, never dropping the ball, never letting them see you sweat.
  • In relationships: you’re the caretaker, the peacekeeper, the hot/sexy/fun girlfriend… but god forbid you ever needanything yourself.

It’s exhausting. And it’s why so many women are grinding themselves into the ground.

Here’s the truth: Excellence feels good. Perfectionism feels like hell.

In this episode I break down:
🔥 The root causes of why women fall into perfectionism.
🔥 The brutal downside of perfectionism.. (procrastination, self-sabotage, comparison city)
🔥 The 6 rules I live by that keep me chasing excellence without losing my freaking mind

If you’ve ever felt like no matter how hard you push, you’re still not “enough,” this one’s for you.
