In this episode, we dive into the sneaky ways perfectionism can sabotage your creativity and business growth. Perfectionism often shows up as setting impossibly high standards and never feeling like your work is "good enough." We’ll break down why perfectionism is more than just a habit—it’s a mindset that can hold you back from finishing your best work.
We’ll cover how to recognise perfectionist patterns, shift your mindset, and share practical steps to help you keep creating (even when it feels uncomfortable). You’ll also learn how to embrace imperfection as part of the process, take action, and let go of unrealistic expectations.
If you missed Episode 85, check it out to explore the common block of self-trust, how it relates to artists and why it is important to address as a creative.. And don’t forget to tune in to Episode 84 for an overview of this Mini Mindset series where we will be helping you overcome a whole range of mindset struggles.
