In this episode of the Fourth State Podcast, somatic healer and success mentor Bailey exposes what perfectionism is really protecting: the part of you that still believes you're not ready yet.
We’ve worn perfection like a badge of honor. It looks like ambition, leadership, care. But underneath it all, it's grief dressed up to look like greatness. It's the part of you delaying joy, diluting your power, and putting off the very thing you're meant to release. And the longer you hold it, the more momentum you lose.
Bailey dives deep into the nervous system patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck in cycles of proving, performing, and second-guessing. Through storytelling, embodiment, and one powerful somatic drop-in, she reveals what it means to shift from pressure to presence. From performance to potency. From waiting to showing up.
This is not just a mindset shift. It’s a call back to your body. A reclamation of your creativity, your voice, and your pace. If you’ve been holding back on the thing that matters most, this episode will meet you at that edge.

18:00 - A somatic drop-in to come home to your body
21:00 - Showing up before you're perfect is your superpower
