Perfectionism is usually treated like a simple “good vs bad” trait, but that framing is how society trains you to misunderstand it, which keeps you stuck in the same loops of paralysis, overwork and harsh self-criticism.

In this video, I’ll walk you through why it’s not as simple as ‘good vs bad’, what perfectionism is actually trying to do for you (and what it quietly costs), so you can keep your high standards without staying trapped in burnout or constant pressure.

In this video, you’ll learn:

✓ Why the “is being a perfectionist a good thing?” question doesn’t get you anywhere and what to ask instead
✓ The hidden pressures perfectionism is often protecting you from (and the strengths it can genuinely fuel)
✓ A simple strategy for navigating perfectionism so your standards become a tool, not a harsh judge

This video is for you if:

➡️ You suspect you might be a perfectionist, but are concerned about what that might mean and what the implications could be
➡️ You’re confused by the mixed messages about perfectionism and not fully sure what it is
➡️ You’re starting to see patterns of perfectionism in your life - overthinking, pressure, procrastination, harsh self-talk

💚💙💛– DEAR FRIEND – 💚💙💛–

If you sacrifice sleep, health, or relationships to meet impossible standards...
If you procrastinate for weeks, panic then stay stuck or work through the night before deadlines...

If you're the strong one who nobody really knows because letting your guard down feels dangerous...
....Then know that our social systems demanded your perfection, but now call you 'too much' for trying to deliver it.

I spent nearly twenty years in corporate, mastering excellence without ease.

Now I help perfectionists and overachievers harness their high standards strategically - with ease, not exhaustion.

This isn't about becoming someone else or 'just relaxing' like everyone suggests. It's also not about shame.

It's about understanding why you operate this way, recognizing when perfectionism serves vs. sabotages you and developing strategic tools and experiments to channel the fear and passion that drive your perfectionism into something that actually benefits you (and the people you care about).

🎯 Every video = one pattern decoded, one strategy tested
💎 Every story = proof that your experience is shared by countless others
🛠️ Every tool = practical ways to be aligned with what truly matters to you without the constant pressure of having to live up to external expectations

🟢 We don't lower standards. We get strategic about when to deploy them.
🟢 We don't demonise perfectionism. We get honest about what created it and still fuels it.
🟢 We don't just understand it. We take courageous action. The real problem is a world that demands perfection, punishes mistakes and only values people for their usefulness - then blames you for adapting to survive in it.
