Perfection is exhausting. Growth doesn’t have to be linear. And sometimes, choosing good over great is the most radical, life-changing decision you can make as an entrepreneur.
In this episode, I’m joined by Heather Campbell, author of Good Is Amazing, founder and CEO of Ready, Set, Recover, and a former media executive who has made a career and a life out of giving herself and others permission to release the pressure of perfection.
Heather’s work helps people recover from surgery by focusing on the non-clinical aspects of healing that often go unaddressed. However, her wisdom extends far beyond health: it is about how we navigate pressure, tune out our inner critic, and create space for joy and authenticity in our lives and businesses.
Tune in and listen to the seventy-first episode of Avant-Garde Entrepreneur. You will hear how to let go of what is not serving you, how to stop minimizing your worth with small words like “just,” and why celebrating the little things every single day is the key to building a meaningful life.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Why “good” really is amazing, and how striving for “perfect” holds you back (07:40)
- The simple framework Heather uses to stay happy and healthy (08:10)
- A practical way to support yourself with daily joy rituals (19:40)
- How to silence your inner critic (23:10)
- When to quit, let go, and create space for what is truly right (28:20)
- Why, sometimes, the most powerful answer is a simple “huh” (37:30)
- The power of the word “just” and why you should eliminate it from your vocabulary (44:50)
