Earlier this week, I had the privilege of joining my friend Nathan Serrato on his incredible Queer Conscious Podcast, where we dove deep into a topic that’s personal to me—divorce. My divorce, to be exact. The conversation stirred up reflections on authenticity and the exhausting pursuit of perfection - being the perfect son, the perfect entrepreneur, the perfect friend, perfect boyfriend, and perfect husband. That hour with Nathan was both cathartic and healing, reminding me of the power of speaking your truth in a space where your heart and soul feel safe. Nathan has a rare gift for creating that space.
So in honor of our time together, today on Just Do You., we’re revisiting one of our most powerful episodes from last season—my original sit-down with Nathan, a Trauma-Informed Mindset Coach (PCC) based in San Diego. In this replay, we explore the tangled relationship between perfectionism and personal identity—a conversation that’s as insightful as it is liberating.
If you’ve ever wrestled with that relentless inner critic or carried the heavy expectation to always “get it right,” this episode will speak to you. Expect to laugh, reflect, and leave with a renewed sense of what it truly means to embrace peace, happiness, and joy—beyond perfection.
