I wasn’t planning to record this episode - it was one of those moments where I just had to pick up the mic and talk. Something clicked for me recently and it made so many things in my business and life suddenly make sense in a way they never had before. It’s one of those shifts that once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

In this episode, I share the story behind that realisation - what led up to it, what I noticed about the way I’d been working and thinking and how it’s been quietly shaping my results for years without me realising. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still not feeling fulfilled or inspired by your business, this is going to resonate deeply.

I talk about what I discovered during my Weekly Review that changed how I look at my habits, my relationships and my goals. It’s something that’s been right under my nose for years - and yet it’s completely shifted how I plan, create and show up.

If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected, overthinking your next move or trying to get everything perfect before you take action, this conversation will help you see things in a totally new light.

I used to think I wasn’t perfect enough to be a perfectionist. And because I didn’t realise I was a perfectionist, I had no real way to start overcoming the procrastination, crippling self-doubt and overthinking that was keeping me and my business stuck.

Realising that I’m a perfectionist (and what that actually means) gave me a whole new vocabulary that has allowed me to change my life for the better – because it’s only when you realise you’re a perfectionist that you become empowered to overcome perfectionism.

In this episode, I’m opening up about my journey with perfectionism and the important points along the way. I can’t remember everything but I hope that what I share in this episode helps you understand yourself a little bit more.

This is an episode I’ve referenced countless times since it was first published. It shares such an important lesson for all entrepreneurs, especially those who have been getting in their own way, that I had to share it again.

In this episode I’m helping you explore the areas in your business where you feel like you have your hands tied behind your back. These are the areas in your business where you have a deep desire to take action but aren’t letting yourself - either because of a past decision you made, a rule you unconsciously adopted or an expectation you’re placing on yourself.

Then I’m walking you through how to untie your hands from behind your back, update your decisions and let yourself freely create.

In last week’s episode, I talked about when following through with the plans we’ve made with ourselves can be an act of self-care - particularly when you have anything going on in your life that’s making operating at your normal capacity a challenge.

Today’s episode continues that conversation and I talk about when you determine that productivity is *not* an act of self-care and how you can create a sense of completeness even when everything isn’t done. Tune in to hear what that can look like for you.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn how you can feel like you can switch off from work (whether that’s the end of a workday or right before a longer break) - even when the plans you had set for yourself weren’t complete. You’ll learn about developing the ability to say when enough is enough - and how to make that decision in an empowering way.

When is it an act of self-care for me to be productive and when is it an act of self-care instead to change my plans and take clean rest? Especially if you’re not operating at your normal capacity.

Tune in to hear about the questions that help me figure out whether to follow my plans or not, a trick I use to get myself to do the work I had planned and the highest act of self-care you can do for yourself in a similar situation. If you have health issues, family commitments or anything else going on in your life that’s making operating at your normal capacity a challenge, this episode is for you.
