Ep 300: How To Finish The Year Strong Nov 21, 2021

Show notes

When it gets to the end of the year, we perfectionists tend to have a very all-or-nothing approach. We either check out completely because we feel so ashamed we didn't make progress towards our goals or we put so much pressure on ourselves to be productive in these final weeks that we do a whole lot of busy work or don't get anything done at all.

What I'm sharing in this episode is 3 things you can do to finish the year strong and really build up some extra self-trust and get yourself in a great position to hit the ground running next year. These are things that won't take a lot of time to do but I recommend doing all three of them before the end of the year.

Tune in to learn what they are and how to go about them.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

The 3 things you need to do to finish the year strong
How to choose what to focus on for the rest of the year
The three questions to ask yourself in your yearly review
Why you should let yourself miss your business over the holidays

Ep 299: Let's Chat About Overthinking Nov 14, 2021

Show notes

Overthinking is something that almost all perfectionists find themselves doing - so I thought it'd be the perfect topic to kick off my new Instagram live series called Get Out Of Your Own Way.

Tune in to listen to the replay recording and learn why perfectionists overthink as well as how to stop overthinking!

I'll be going live every Wednesday at 9am AEST on Instagram (I'm @perfectionismproject) for at least the remainder of 2021 to share practical tips and advice to help you get out of your own way. This converts to Tuesday afternoon if you're in the United States or late Tuesday evening if you're in the UK or Europe.

I will always share a countdown timer on Instagram that'll notify you of the start time so you can be there live. But if you're wanting to convert it into your timezone, I recommend converting 9am 'Brisbane time' into your timezone - and don't forget I'm a day ahead!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

The hidden and surprising reasons why perfectionists overthink
3 signs that you're overthinking
How to know when you've thought about something 'enough'
3 ways to catch overthinking

Ep 297: 7 Signs Your Follow Through Problem Is Actually A Planning Problem Oct 31, 2021

Show notes

I recently sent out a Perfectionist Power-Up that resonated with a lot of my email subscribers. It said: "Maybe your follow through problem is actually a planning problem". So I wanted to record an episode to help you figure out whether this is what's going on for you.

There are a lot of things we can do to help us follow through with our plans consistently. I share many of them on this podcast! But first it's incredibly important to look at the plans you're trying to follow through on. Are they making your perfectionist mindset work for you or against you? Are your plans setting you up for success or are they setting you up for failure? I dive into this and more in the episode.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

The hidden reason perfectionists struggle to follow through with their plans
Why motivation and willpower aren't the answers to your follow through problem
The most important thing you need to know about struggling to follow through

Ep 296: A Short Story That Will Help You Put Yourself Out There Oct 24, 2021

Show notes

I felt inspired to share a story that I heard on another podcast. This story resonated with me deeply and is something I want to share with you because, as perfectionists, we tend to not recognise how our imperfections help others. We only see the progress we're not making, we judge ourselves harshly, beat ourselves etc.

When I heard this story, it gave me a sense of freedom to just show up as myself without it being polished or perfect. I still have my own journey and struggles with my perfectionism handbrake and this story was heart-warming and a relief to hear. Tune in to hear the story of the 'leaky bucket' and what it means for you in your business.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

The story of the leaky bucket and how it'll help you release your perfectionism handbrake
Why this story resonated with me so deeply
The reason it's important to have big goals, even if we don't achieve them
The truth about putting yourself out there before you're perfect

Ep 295: Personal Growth Update June to September 2021 Oct 20, 2021

Show notes

I honestly put off recording this episode as it felt like too many things had happened over the last few months for me to give an accurate picture of what's been going on behind the scenes. It's hard enough as it is to capture one month - let alone four.

But while Lydia was having a nap in the carrier, I felt inspired to get out my microphone and chat about the last 4 months. In the episode I share Lydia's birth story, my postpartum recovery journey, why I've felt guilty, how I've navigated returning to work and why I'm getting back into the mindset and manifestation side of business while learning more about Human Design.
