Trying to be perfect and do things perfectly … all the time … is freaking exhausting. It’s unattainable and it’s unsustainable. It is time to let go of perfectionism and accomplish all the things you want to do. Ready to learn how to let go of perfectionism, so you can start getting things done?
THAT’s what we’re discussing in today’s podcast episode.
I am a recovering perfectionist and today, I want to share my journey with you and all of the tips and tricks that I have picked up along the way. Most importantly – I want to show you that sometimes letting go of the perfect image in your head (and just doing) is the best step you could ever take.
Being a perfectionist means you care about the details–and you want to get whatever it is you’re doing “right.” But perfectionism can hold you back from doing anything at all.

This episode is part of our mindset series.

I’m feeling a little emotional writing this 🥹
The Power in Purpose podcast just hit 200 episodes!! It’s such a big milestone, and that number represents so much more than consistency or content.
It represents choosing to show up when it felt scary.
Sharing my thoughts before I felt “ready.”
Hitting publish even when I worried about sounding dumb, being misunderstood, or not knowing where this would lead.
When I started this podcast in 2018, I truly didn’t know if anyone would listen. I just knew I had something to say and a deep desire to talk honestly about building a business that supports a real life.
Somewhere along the way, this stopped being “just a podcast” and became a space for big conversations, quiet moments, hard truths, hot takes, and the parts of entrepreneurship no one really prepares you for.
And none of this exists without you. 😭
If you’ve ever listened on a walk, in the car, while cooking dinner, or during one of those “what am I even doing?” seasons in your business, I want to thank you. Your presence here has mattered more than you know.
To celebrate episode 200, I shared 23 lessons I wish every wedding pro knew. Lessons about confidence, boundaries, money, leadership, nervous system regulation, and what actually creates momentum in this industry.
I’m so grateful to be here. And I’m so grateful you’re here too. 💛
I hope you’ll take some time to listen today and celebrate with me!

I taught this masterclass inside @theplannersplaybook a few weeks ago, and I’m not kidding — my DMs, the chat, everything blew up.
Planners were saying things like:
“This explains EVERYTHING I’ve been feeling.”
“I finally understand why my sales calls feel so weird.”
“Okay… my packages need a major glow-up.”
It was one of those moments where I thought this can’t stay behind a paywall because every planner needs to hear this.
So I decided to open the masterclass up — for free — for a limited time to any planner who wants to watch.
As a coach and expert, I have a unique perspective. I get to see the backend of hundreds of businesses each year – and that gives me a window into what`s happening across the industry.
Here`s what I know...
Couples want different things.
Their expectations changed.
Their buying psychology changed.
And the way planners talk about (and structure) their services has to shift, too.
That’s what this masterclass is about — understanding what changed so you can adjust without burning your whole business down.
Comment the word SHIFT and I’ll send you the link on how you can watch this training.
