31: 3 Steps to Break the Perfection Trap

Send us a text

If you’ve ever spent hours tweaking one email… or rehearsed your presentation a dozen times and still felt “not ready”… or said no to an amazing opportunity because you didn’t feel perfect yet—this episode is for you.

In this deeply personal and practical episode, I share how I broke free from years of perfectionist patterns that kept me stuck in overwork, self-doubt, and stress—even after becoming a successful Fortune 500 executive. I walk you through my Triple P Method (Pause, Prioritize, Practice), a neuroscience-backed tool I now teach my clients to help rewire the perfectionist brain and nervous system from the root.

You’ll also hear the real reason behind your perfectionism (hint: it’s not about being excellent—it’s about feeling safe), how it’s impacting your confidence and energy, and what’s possible when you start letting go of unrealistic standards.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and overdoing—and start leading with more clarity, confidence, and courage—this episode will show you the first step.
