Entrepreneurial Mom: Where Does Perfectionism Come From? - E10

Have you ever found yourself, as an entrepreneurial mom, rewriting your to-do list for the third time instead of actually tackling it - and wondered where does perfectionism come from?

If you’re nodding your head right now, you’re not alone. As entrepreneurial moms, we’ve all been there - spending hours perfecting that sales page font while our launch sits in limbo, or reorganizing Canva folders at 9 PM instead of working on the business task that would actually move the needle. Understanding where does perfectionism come from is the first step to breaking free from its grip.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: What we call “being thorough” or “maintaining high standards” is often perfectionism wearing a productivity costume. And it’s not serving us - it’s sabotaging us and killing our business momentum.

Welcome to Emotions Behind the Schedule Series | Part 4: Perfectionism

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Celia reveals something that might shock you about perfectionism. There are five distinct types of perfectionist entrepreneurial moms, and you’ll definitely recognize yourself in at least one. As a multitasking working mom, you’re constantly battling both external distractions and internal distractions that feed into perfectionist patterns. But here’s what gets wild - your brain has a very specific reason for keeping you stuck in this cycle of distracted focus.

You’ll discover:

• Why your brain treats certain business tasks like actual physical threats
• The real reason perfectionism feels so “productive” (it’s not what you think)
• A simple shift that changes everything about how you approach your business

Ready to find out what’s really behind your “productivity” patterns?
