Perfectionism sounds noble on paper—high standards, attention to detail, the pursuit of excellence. But in real life? Not so much. In this episode, we unpack the emotional toll of chasing an impossible ideal. From the quiet burnout to the loud self-doubt, we’re exploring why “never good enough” is a trap, not a motivator. You’ll learn how perfectionism disguises itself as productivity, how it damages relationships (especially with yourself), and what to do when your self-worth feels like it’s tied to your to-do list.

This one’s for the overachievers, the people-pleasers, the checklist champions—and anyone who's ever lost sleep rewriting an email. Let’s talk about what it really costs to chase perfect…and how to finally call it quits.
