In this episode, I’m joined again by my sister, Jesse Dear, for a conversation that’s way too real—especially if you’ve ever put off a dream because you were afraid it wouldn’t be perfect. 🙋♀️
We dive into Jesse’s journey with perfectionism: the pressure to always get it right, look like you have it together, and basically win an imaginary gold medal in life. (Spoiler: that medal doesn’t exist.) 🥇🚫
Now? She’s learning the power of just starting—even if it’s messy, awkward, or not fully planned out. We talk about why waiting for “perfect” holds us back, how to laugh at the cringe moments, and how progress always beats perfection.
In this episode, we chat about:
- What perfectionism actually looks like in real life (not just Pinterest boards)
- How starting imperfectly is often the most freeing thing you can do
- Practical tips for overcoming fear and taking the first step
- Why embracing imperfection leads to more joy, creativity, and growth
If you’ve ever felt stuck because you didn’t feel “ready,” this episode is your permission slip to begin anyway—mess and all. 💪🎉
