Can You Allow Yourself to Mess Up? Let’s Talk About Perfectionism and How to Open Yourself Up to More Magic in Your Life and Business (Ep. 11)

Hustle Heart

As soon as I finished editing this episode of Hustle Heart, I texted my best friends to tell them not just that I would love for them to listen to this episode, but that I need them to.

Here’s why: for years, I've been telling them about how I’m filled with fears—about work, money, my relationship with my now ex, my family, and my future. It feels like I haven’t had a moment of peace in my mind in the last two or three years. They can relate.

It wasn’t until I had a really honest and heart-opening chat with Alex, the host of this show, that I realized these fears were a symptom of something bigger.

I’ve always wanted to do everything as perfectly as possible, even if that meant that one simple task took me ages to complete. I didn't know that that need for praise and for being seen as a “good girl” was a symptom of the perfectionist within me.
I didn't even know that leading my life and business from this perfectionist version of me wouldn’t let me dream or embrace the magic of creating the reality I desire.

In this episode, Alex talks about perfectionism, what it means, and how to identify that trait in your own life experience. Stay for the whole episode, because she also dives into how sacred it is for the feminine creative energy to step away from perfectionism and embrace experiment, joy, and excitement.

I don’t want to spoil the rest because this episode is packed with magic. If you can relate, this is a must-listen.

Here you can find some of this episode’s takeaways:

• Perfectionism is driven by fear and the need for control.
• Practicing and allowing yourself to make mistakes is essential for mastering a craft.
• Balancing masculine and feminine energy in business is important for creativity and success.
• Self-trust is crucial for personal and professional growth.
• Letting go of perfectionism and embracing uniqueness leads to self-empowerment.
