About this episode
If you've ever felt like your life should be better than it is—or like no matter how hard you try, it's never enough—this episode is for you. I'm sharing a simple perspective shift that has helped me loosen my grip on perfectionism and feel more joy in my everyday life. We'll talk about how perfectionism shows up as a resistance to trade-offs, and how accepting that any decision will be 50/50 can bring more clarity, freedom, and peace. This one has been a game changer for me—and I think it will be for you too.
