Ep 588: Doing Big Brave Things With The Support of the PGSD Community with Laura Miller Feb 03, 2026

Show notes

Building a business is a big brave thing - especially as a perfectionist. So in this episode I'm interviewing PGSDer Laura Miller about how she has used the support of the Perfectionists Getting Shit Done community to create insane personal growth and results for herself during her 6 years (!!) as an active PGSDer.

We also discuss the value of PGSD as a lifetime access program and why you can get all of the community benefits of PGSD without having to actively post or be seen inside PGSD. Laura also shares her story of how PGSD helped to pick her back up after a big fail so she could go on to create wild success. And she gives her best advice for PGSDers on how to connect with the PGSD community and the different ways that can look.

Ep 585: [Personal Development Series] How To Get Clarity Even When You're Scared of Making The Wrong Decision Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

This is Part 4 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses.

I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to make great business decisions even when I was scared of getting it wrong. I used to umm and ahh, procrasti-research, procrasti-learn and second guess myself. I wanted to get every decision right because I didn't want to embarrass myself, I didn't want to waste precious time and money and I didn't want to publicly put myself out there if I was only going to change my mind one week later.

In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to make great business decisions even when you're scared you'll get it wrong. And the answer isn't just to make an 'imperfect' decision. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.

Ep 584: [Personal Development Series] How To Believe In Yourself Even When There's No Proof You'll Succeed Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

This is Part 3 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses.

I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to believe in myself when there was literally no proof that I could achieve my goals. I was quiet, I was shy, I was scared of putting myself out there and no one expected me to leave the corporate path I had started down. I'd been successful in my studies but there was no evidence that I'd ever be able to make a full-time income from my business - and yet I've been doing that for 6 years now.

In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to believe in yourself even when you're scared of failing. And the answer isn't to out-work your self-doubt. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.

Ep 583: [Personal Development Series] How To Put Yourself Out There Even When You're Scared of Getting Laughed At Jan 24, 2026

Show notes

This is Part 2 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses.

I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to put myself out there even when I was terrified of getting laughed at. I was never the person who didn't care what others thought about me. I cared deeply. So much so that it made me get in my own way and struggle to market my business (or even offer anything for sale).

In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to feel safe to put yourself out there - even when your friends, family and colleagues can see your social media account. And the answer isn't to stop caring what other people think. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.

Ep 580: Owning Your Creative Process + Why It's Ok If It's Very Messy Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

As an entrepreneur, you are creating something that didn't exist before. Which means you're creative - whether you want to admit it or not. So what should your creative process look like? And what if it doesn't look like everyone else's? That's what I'm talking about in today's episode.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned about creativity from more than 10 years in business and how I've leaned into my Connected Creative Process to create my best work. I share the specifics of my Connected Creating Process and what's happened when I haven't let myself follow what naturally works for me. I also chat about why I've stopped trying to have a neat and tidy creative process and why you don't need one either.
