About this episode
Could perfectionism and comparison ruin your greatest opportunity before you even get to enjoy it?
If you let it, your desire to be 'perfect' might be the thing that robs you of the ability to show up confidently and authentically - and I (Allen) learned this from experience.
I'm letting you into a vulnerable moment right before I spoke for an audience of podcasters at Podfest 2026, the largest independent podcaster conference in the world. In this honest reflection, you'll discover how perfectionism and comparison can stop you from showing up as the God-gifted artist and creator you are - which keeps others from seeing all you have to offer.
