In today’s episode, we’re diving into the self-sabotaging cycle that many of us unknowingly get caught up in. Ever find yourself spending hours perfecting something, only to realize it wasn’t necessary? The belief that only perfection is acceptable can cause overwork, stress, and even hinder progress. In this conversation with Peggy Sullivan, we explore how perfectionism can fuel self-sabotage and how we can break free from this trap to embrace authenticity. Peggy shares practical insights on how to stop trying so hard and celebrate the "hot mess" that we truly are.
