We live in a culture obsessed with becoming more — more productive, more polished, more successful, more "healed." But what happens when the pursuit of self-improvement turns into a trap?In this episode, I invite you into a raw and honest exploration of the invisible line between growth and self-rejection. We’ll unpack the perfectionism that hides behind our pursuit of excellence, the fear that drives endless tweaking, and the inner voice that keeps whispering, "Not enough. Not yet."I share personal stories from my own journey — including how perfectionism almost derailed my dissertation and delayed my book — and offer soul-rooted practices to help you step out of the spiral of never enough and into the freedom of good enough.In this episode, you’ll learn:How perfectionism disguises itself as diligence and commitmentWhy “good enough” isn’t settling — it’s a sacred act of trustHow to know when you’re refining vs. avoidingThe deeper wounds that often fuel the drive to fix and improveSimple practices to shift from self-rejection to self-trustThis episode is for every heart-led visionary, creator, and seeker who’s been holding their breath, waiting for permission to exhale. Let this be your permission slip.
🎧 Listen now and reclaim the courage to be enough — right here, right now.
