What’s really holding you back from self-improvement? Whether it’s perfectionism, overthinking, or a lack of motivation, these mindset traps can keep you stuck and make growth feel impossible. In this video, I’m sharing my personal journey as a recovering perfectionist, practical strategies to stop overthinking, and how to shift your self-talk when things feel overwhelming.

If you’re ready to break free from procrastination and embrace self-improvement without the pressure of being perfect, this conversation is for you. Let’s learn how to stop obsessing, trust our intuition, and take small, intentional steps toward personal growth.


Key Takeaways:

  1. Perfectionism often disguises itself as procrastination, keeping us stuck and afraid to try.
  2. Shifting your self-talk from “I’ll never be good enough” to “What’s one small step I can take?” can open the door to growth.
  3. Growth isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up for yourself and letting progress happen one choice at a time.


Mindful Action:
This week, take a moment to reflect: What’s holding you back from improving your life? Name it, and then take one small, intentional step forward—even if it feels messy. Progress beats perfection every time.
