#12 - The myth of perfection and the power in saying 'no'

In this episode we’re tearing up the imaginary rulebook on “perfect” because spoiler alert perfection doesn’t exist. It’s just another way we keep ourselves small and silent.

We talk about how our obsession with being flawless keeps us stuck, hiding, and disconnected. When we try to present a polished picture perfect version of ourselves to the world, we’re not protecting our image—we’re just burying our humanity. And that humanity is where the magic is.

We also get into the seriously underrated power of saying no. Saying no isn’t just about setting boundaries. It’s about claiming your next chapter. Growth isn’t always about what you add. It’s also about what you let go of.

So here’s your reminder to back yourself. Let yourself just be. Rest if you need to, but never because you feel ashamed of not being enough. You already are.
