In this episode of Unleashed, Leah takes on the obsession with being perfect — and why it’s the very thing keeping women stuck. Through her own story of panic attacks, relentless self-pressure, and a career that looked like success but felt like a cage, Leah unpacks the difference between high standards and perfectionism, why women are especially vulnerable to tying their worth to their output, and how letting people see you before you’re finished is the most powerful thing you can do. If you’ve ever held yourself back because you couldn’t guarantee the outcome, this episode is your permission slip to stop curating and start living.
