In this episode of The Peaceful Place, I open up about the fear of not being perfect—and how that fear can quietly steal our joy, creativity, and courage. This is something I’ve been navigating myself lately: the doubt, the spiraling thoughts, the urge to delete and redo and never feel quite “ready.”
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t start until it’s flawless, or like what you made isn’t good enough to share, or like you're about to be "found out" as an imposter, then this is for you. Together, we’ll explore where this fear comes from, how deeply rooted it can be, and how to soften it with compassion and self-trust. I’ll share a powerful visual that’s been helping me take action now, without waiting to feel perfect first.
By the end, I hope you feel a gentle shift—a little more willing to get on the raft, leave the harbor, and go for it, exactly as you are. Even when it’s messy. Even when doubt shows up. You don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. You just have to begin.
