Episode 4: Ditching Perfection To Make Real Progress

Jana Renner Season 1 Episode 4

Rise Health Coaching Podcast

Host: Jana Renner

Episode Summary:

Welcome back to the Rise Health Coaching Podcast! In today’s episode, I dive into how the pursuit of perfection can keep us stuck, confused, and ultimately disconnected from real progress in our health journeys.

I share my personal twist on the 75 Hard Challenge, and a powerful message that recently resonated with me:

“Eating non-organic produce is better than not eating produce at all.”

It’s a reminder that striving for “perfect” often leads to inaction—and how letting go of perfection can free us to take meaningful steps forward.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

•Why perfectionism can sabotage your goals

•How social media and information overload can paralyze your progress

•The importance of starting imperfectly

•Why consistency beats perfection every time


Takeaway Message:

Start now.

Start imperfectly.

Start with what you have.

Start nervous.

Start unsure.

But START.
