Many people feel stuck—not because they lack motivation, but because they’re waiting for things to be “just right.” In this episode, Catholic therapist Adam Cross explores how perfectionism often hides behind procrastination, and why the pressure to get everything right can keep us from starting at all.
Drawing from both clinical experience and Catholic spirituality, Adam breaks down the psychological roots of perfectionism and shares compassionate, practical tools for moving forward — even when things feel messy or incomplete.
Discover practical insights into:
- Why perfectionism leads to procrastination
- The inner critic and fear of failure
- How grace and self-compassion create momentum
- The balance between personal standards and spiritual growth
Tune in for a thoughtful and empowering conversation that blends faith and mental health in a way that brings hope to those who feel stuck.
