What happens when the greatest expectations you’re carrying aren’t coming from anyone else — but from yourself? In this final episode of the 3-part series, we explore the difference between excellence and perfectionism — and why so many leaders confuse the two. While excellence is rooted in purpose and service, perfectionism is driven by fear, shame, and the need to control outcomes. If you find yourself overthinking, overworking, or avoiding rest because it feels unsafe to slow down… this conversation is for you. You’ll learn: - How perfectionism masquerades as responsibility - The invisible cost of leading from pressure instead of peace - The patterns of over-functioning that slowly wear you down - And how to begin leading yourself with more presence, permission, and compassion You don’t have to carry it all to lead well. You don’t have to be perfect to be trusted. And you don’t have to stay stuck in pressure to make an impact. Tune in and take a deep breath — your leadership gets to be more human. 🎧 Visit authenticallyyou.org to access your free Morning Meditation or book a Growth Plan Consult to take the next step in your journey.
