Summary:
This episode uncovers the unsustainable pursuit of perfection and shows listeners how to thrive in the space between good and great—a place of freedom, growth, and authentic connection.
Highlights:
•Perfection is a myth and a trap that fuels stress, burnout, and fear.
•The “good-to-great” space is where humans naturally thrive—celebrating first bases and home runs alike.
•Leaders, parents, and managers benefit when they allow themselves and others to operate in this healthy zone.
•Real connection, creativity, and resilience are born when you show up human, not flawless.
Target Audience:
•People aged 18–35 feeling stressed or crushed by perfectionist standards.
•Leaders, parents, and supervisors seeking sustainable growth in themselves and others.
Favorite Quote:
“Perfection is unsustainable. The real gift is permission to live between good and great—where growth, joy, and breathing room exist.”
