Perfectionism can look like ambition, organization, or “just trying to get it right.” But behind the polished surface, it often hides a more complicated story—one filled with fear, anxiety, self-doubt, and a deep inner pressure to prove our worth through performance.
In Tackling Perfectionism: Finding Progress Over Perfection, we take an honest, compassionate look at what perfectionism really is, where it comes from, and how it quietly holds us back. This course is designed for anyone who feels overwhelmed by their own expectations, stuck in cycles of procrastination or burnout, or constantly battling the belief that they’re never quite doing—or being—enough.
Perfectionism isn’t about being your best. It’s about fearing you’ll never be good enough, no matter how hard you try. And that fear can show up in every area of life—from relationships and work, to creative pursuits, daily routines, and even how we manage our homes. Left unchecked, perfectionism can lead to chronic stress, disconnection, and paralysis. But it doesn’t have to.
This course is a safe and supportive space to explore how perfectionism has shaped your mindset and behaviors—and to begin rewriting the script. You’ll learn how to:
- Identify the hidden ways perfectionism manifests in your daily life
- Understand the difference between healthy striving and perfectionistic thinking
- Recognize the emotional costs of “all or nothing” habits
- Build self-compassion as a tool for growth, not complacency
- Use small, actionable steps to gain momentum and confidence, without waiting to feel “ready” or have it all figured out
Through a blend of storytelling, real-life examples, interactive reflection, and practical tools, we’ll uncover how striving for perfection often leads to stagnation, while embracing progress creates freedom, energy, and genuine success.
This isn’t about lowering your standards or settling. It’s about shifting your perspective from rigid control to empowered choice. It’s about learning to move forward—even imperfectly—with more self-trust, flexibility, and joy.
Whether you're a self-identified perfectionist or someone who never quite feels satisfied with your efforts, this session will help you pause, breathe, and see things differently. You’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately—and insights that will stay with you long after the presentation ends.
This course is for you if:
- You struggle to start or finish projects because they don’t feel “just right”
- You constantly second-guess yourself or fear being judged
- You feel burned out from trying to do everything perfectly
- You want to live with more ease, intention, and self-acceptance
- You’re ready to make progress—even if it’s messy, slow, or imperfect
By the end of this session, you’ll have a renewed understanding of perfectionism and a roadmap for moving beyond it—toward a life that’s not only more productive but also more peaceful and authentic.

Why Should You Attend
Have you ever put something off until the timing felt just right, only to find that day never came? Do you silently beat yourself up for not doing enough, being enough, or getting it “perfect” the first time? You’re not alone.
Perfectionism wears many disguises. It can masquerade as ambition, high standards, or a desire to do your best. But underneath, it often stems from fear—fear of judgment, fear of failure, fear of not being good enough. And when fear runs the show, progress stalls. We get stuck in the cycle of overthinking, procrastinating, or avoiding the very things that would move us forward.
This course was designed to break that cycle.
“Tackling Perfectionism: Finding Progress Over Perfection” is for anyone who’s tired of letting unrealistic expectations and self-doubt call the shots. Whether you’re a high achiever, a chronic procrastinator, or someone simply craving more ease and self-acceptance, this course offers the tools and insights to help you shift your mindset and reclaim your momentum.
You’ll learn why perfectionism is not the motivator we’ve been taught to believe it is—and how choosing progress, even in small steps, can actually lead to more consistent growth, deeper fulfillment, and greater peace of mind. Through storytelling, reflection, and practical strategies, we’ll unpack the roots of perfectionism and replace harsh self-criticism with clarity, self-trust, and grace.
If you’re ready to silence your inner critic, get unstuck, and move forward with confidence—even when things feel messy—this course is your invitation.
