Are you stuck in “just one more” podcast, book, or course, waiting until you feel perfectly ready? As highly sensitive women, we often love to be prepared, and we’re really good at it.

 

In this episode, I'm talking about how perfectionism keeps highly sensitive women playing small, and the gentle, doable steps you can take to grow… even when it feels messy.

 

You’ll walk away with tangible tools, reflection prompts, and a reminder that courage isn’t about being ready; it’s about moving forward even when you’re not.

 

What You’ll Learn:

 

🩵 The surprising reason perfectionism feels safe for highly sensitive women

🩵 How to reframe your comfort zone as a place of rest, not residence

🩵 4 subtle signs perfectionism might be running the show

🩵 Three gentle practices to help you take brave, imperfect action

🩵 Reflection prompts to help you uncover where you’re hiding in preparation
