Have you ever caught yourself rewriting an email three times because it didn’t sound perfect yet?

Or maybe you’ve spent hours fine-tuning a report, even though it was already good enough?

Or you finally finish something... but you still can’t stop thinking about whether you should have done more?

If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you're exactly who I had in mind when I created this week's podcast episode.

The truth is, perfectionism feels like it should help you do better work. But most of the time, it just steals your time, drains your energy, and leaves you feeling behind—no matter how hard you work.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You struggle to feel "done" with your work, even after you’ve finished it
  
• You notice yourself double- and triple-checking things out of habit
  
• You often spend way more time on tasks than you planned to
  
• You feel guilty when you stop working—even if you've already done a lot
  
• You know perfectionism is holding you back, but you’re not sure how to break the cycle

I’ll also be sharing a personal story about how I learned to let go of perfectionism (after years of thinking it was my secret weapon) and how that shift made a huge difference—not just in my work, but in my life.

I can’t wait for you to hear this one. It’s a game-changer if you’ve been feeling stuck in "never enough" mode.

And thank you for being a part of this community. Let's all learn to have easier, and more successful balanced accounting careers.

Have you ever made a plan for your day…only to find yourself checking email, grabbing a snack, or saying yes to something you didn’t even want to do?

It can feel like your brain takes over—and you’re just along for the ride.

If you’ve ever felt out of control during the day, even when you’re checking things off your list, you’re not alone.

It’s not about how busy you are. It’s about what’s happening behind the scenes in your brain.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You make good plans but often feel like you’re reacting all day
  
• You struggle to stop working, checking email, or doing "one more thing"
  
• You feel frustrated that you’re productive but still feel behind or scattered
  
• You want to feel calm and in control, not rushed and stressed

Learning how to allow urges instead of reacting to them has been a game changer for me—and for so many accountants I coach.

I can’t wait for you to hear how simple (and powerful) this can be.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "Does work really have to feel this exhausting?"

Or maybe, "If I could just tweak a few things, would this job feel easier?"

If so, this week’s episode of The Smarter Accountant Podcast is for you.

We’re talking about something most accountants have never been taught: The concept of Job Crafting.

It’s not about switching careers or adding more to your plate. It’s about making small, smart changes to the work you’re already doing—so it fits you better.

When you understand how to use job crafting, you can make your day feel less draining, more manageable, and even a little more enjoyable.

This episode is especially for you if:

• You like parts of your job but feel buried under everything else
  
• You’re feeling stuck, drained, or wondering if things could be easier
  
• You’re ready for work to feel lighter without needing a huge changes.

Small changes really can make a big difference.

I can’t wait for you to hear this one!
