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.

It’s Friday Introductions, but today I’m not introducing myself. I want to introduce you to my friend @marthabitar!
Martha is the co-founder of @flodesk, the founder of @buildwithstencil, and someone I have admired for a very long time. But over the last four months, I’ve had the opportunity to build Cue alongside her and see her brilliance in action—and I have learned more about business, building, leadership, and what’s actually possible than I could ever fit into an Instagram caption.
But what I admire most about her has very little to do with what she has built! She is one of the most generous people I have ever met. And I don’t just mean with her time, knowledge, or resources. Martha builds for generosity. She thinks about what she can give people, what she can unlock for them, and how she can make them feel like they, too, are larger than life.
She also might disagree with me on this, but Martha is fearless.
I have brought her ideas that felt enormous. I’ve watched other women bring her ideas that felt almost impossible. And I have never once heard Martha say, “No, we can’t do that.”
Instead, it’s: Anything is possible. Yes, let’s build that. Yes, let’s do that. Of course we can do that. Let’s figure out how.
And when you spend enough time around someone who believes that way, something starts to change in you, too. Things you thought were too big start to feel buildable. Things you thought were reserved for other people start to feel available to you. You start challenging the status quo, building things you never thought you were capable of building, and becoming more of the person you always knew you were.
Martha has done that for me. And I’ve watched her do it for so many other women over these last four months.
She cares deeply about people. She believes in people. She makes people feel capable. And somehow, while building enormous things of her own, she still makes room to help other people build theirs.
Everybody needs a Martha in their corner.
I feel incredibly lucky to have this Martha in mine.
And now I’m crying. So, happy Friday!!!
What’s the best wedding planning software out there?
This is question I’ve been asked at least 10x a week for the last 10 years— and I never had an answer— because most planning software sucks.
So, after all these years of not having the right place to point people, I decided to do something about it.
In just a few weeks you’ll get the chance to already join the 100 planners who are using my new software, Cue! I can’t wait for you to see what we built!
Comment CUEWAITLIST below and I’ll send you the link to grab your spot in line!
The more I watch wedding planners use Cue, the more I realize how much wedding planning software has forced planners to work around the technology they use every day.
We’re deep in beta testing Cue right now, and watching real wedding planners use something we’ve built from the ground up has been incredibly gratifying.
But there’s something I can’t stop thinking about.
The number of tools, tabs, spreadsheets, documents, emails, and workarounds planners are using to manage ONE wedding is kind of wild.
And some of the feature requests we’re getting are so logical that my first thought is sometimes, Wait… wedding planning software doesn’t already do that?!
Our beta testers are helping us see exactly where existing tools create more work instead of less. And it’s reinforcing why we’re building Cue differently.
There’s one request in particular that has sent us down a VERY interesting rabbit hole. 👀 More on that soon.
In the meantime, I want to hear from you:
What’s a no-brainer feature you think wedding planning software should have that somehow… still doesn’t?
