Episode 93: Stop Holding Yourself Back & Embrace the Messy First Draft

Have you ever slowed yourself down, hesitated, or held back—just because you didn’t want to mess up? Yeah, me too.

But here’s the thing: Perfectionism is just fear in a fancy outfit. And the truth is, mistakes aren’t proof of failure—they’re proof of progress.

This week, I’m sharing a story about how using my 90s typewriter revealed just how often we let small mistakes stop us when they don’t actually matter. We’re talking about why perfection is a trap, how to stop overthinking, and how to move forward even when you’re afraid of getting it wrong.

What We’ll Cover: 

✔️ The Perfectionism Paradox: How "getting it right" can actually hold you back

✔️ The First Draft Mindset: Why treating life as an experiment frees you

✔️ The Typing Forward Rule: A simple shift to stop overthinking and keep moving

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a whole new way to look at mistakes—and the courage to finally take action.
