Hey friend, let’s get real—how many things have you put off because they’re “not quite perfect” yet? If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll start when it’s ready, you’ll launch when it’s perfect, you’ll post when it’s polished… then you already know perfectionism isn’t just a personality trait—it’s procrastination in disguise.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the 80% rule—why aiming for 80% excellence and releasing is the secret to momentum, progress, and finally getting out of your own way. I’ll also be sharing a personal story about how my own perfectionism just cost me a big launch (and how I’m shifting my mindset so it doesn’t happen again).

We’re talking about:

💡 Why high achievers execute, iterate, and refine instead of waiting for “perfect”

💡 How perfectionism is secretly holding you back (and how to break the cycle)

💡 The messy action challenge: one small step you can take TODAY to move forward

This episode will challenge you, push you, and maybe even call you out a little (in the best way). Let’s stop waiting for perfect and start doing.
