In this episode I'm sharing a behind the scenes look at the most recent PGSD launch. This is the first part in a two part series that will help normalise the ups and downs of launching (regardless of what kind of business you have) and show you how to get out of your own way when you're selling. Tune in to listen to 3 updates that I recorded during the pre-launch period (right before the doors to...

Our perfectionism often makes us think that the work we've produced isn't good enough and that we need to re-do it. This usually turns into us doing our work over again and again. And when we get into this habit, it's very disheartening to even approach a task so we only end up procrastinating on it and putting it off. In this episode, I'm talking about why I wanted to re-record two podcast episod...

Revenge bedtime procrastination is something most perfectionists struggle to stop. When you're not planning properly as a perfectionist, you put more business tasks on your to-do list than you have time to complete. Because you want to be productive, you put pressure on yourself to get everything done. But then you don't know what to do first… You end up working on a random business task until it'...

In this episode I'm interviewing Kristen Cain, a style coach and committed PGSDer, on all things perfectionism and Power Planning. A few months ago, Kristen reached out to our team to see if there was anything she could do to help spread the word about PGSD so that more people like her can get out of their own way in their business. So I decided to interview her for the podcast! The doors to PGSD...

There are courageous things you need to do to build your business that you might never feel excited about… like pitching yourself as a guest on one of your favourite podcasts or posting on Instagram when you've been getting is 17 likes or publishing your sales page when you're still working on believing that your product is worth the money. If you're only able to do things when you're in the mood...

Power Planning will get you out of your own way in your business and have you doing the deep perfectionism work you need to do - all while you're doing more of what matters than ever before (in less time and with less overthinking). But it won't work for you if you give up on it prematurely. The habit of giving up too soon is one of the main reasons you're not where you want to be in your business...

Most perfectionists find it challenging to plan out their week when they don't know what will come up or how much energy they'll have. Whether you're working an exhausting day job, doing shift work or raising young children alongside building your business - there are certain things that can feel hard to plan around. Especially when no one has taught you how to plan properly… Some perfectionists p...

Perfectionists get in their own way when they follow the same planning advice as everyone else. That's why I've recorded a 5-part planning series for the podcast that'll help you plan properly as a perfectionist. This planning series is for perfectionists who write and rewrite long to-do lists of business tasks they never start, fall behind because they underestimate how long things will take and...

For the foreseeable future, I'm going to be doing my personal growth updates quarterly (instead of monthly like I used to) so it aligns with the quarterly review for my impossible goal. So today's episode is a chatty personal growth update covering the last 3 months of 2021.  In this episode I chat about why we've been in planned profit loss this quarter, the mastermind I've just joined for 2022,...

She also candidly shares the emotional highs and lows of business on her social...

Today I'm sharing with you a recording of my recent instagram live (I'm @perfectionismproject on Instagram). I wanted to talk about procrasti-learning because I hear from people all the time that they think they are procrasti-learning if they invest in a course or program before they've implemented all of the free advice they've learned. And this simply isn't the case! In this episode I talk about...

I love sharing anything that will help you better understand yourself on this podcast - this is because the more you understand yourself, the better you're able to get out of your own way in your business. Which is why I've decided to do a series of episodes on Human Design.  In this episode I'm sharing what I understand Human Design to be, how I've personally used Human Design to help me work in...

When it gets to the end of the year, we perfectionists tend to have a very all-or-nothing approach. We either check out completely because we feel so ashamed we didn't make progress towards our goals or we put so much pressure on ourselves to be productive in these final weeks that we do a whole lot of busy work or don't get anything done at all. What I'm sharing in this episode is 3 things you ca...

Overthinking is something that almost all perfectionists find themselves doing - so I thought it'd be the perfect topic to kick off my new Instagram live series called Get Out Of Your Own Way.

I recently sent out a Perfectionist Power-Up that resonated with a lot of my email subscribers. It said: "Maybe your follow through problem is actually a planning problem". So I wanted to record an episode to help you figure out whether this is what's going on for you. There are a lot of things we can do to help us follow through with our plans consistently. I share many of them on this podcast! B...

I felt inspired to share a story that I heard on another podcast. This story resonated with me deeply and is something I want to share with you because, as perfectionists, we tend to not recognise how our imperfections help others. We only see the progress we're not making, we judge ourselves harshly, beat ourselves etc.  When I heard this story, it gave me a sense of freedom to just show up as my...

I honestly put off recording this episode as it felt like too many things had happened over the last few months for me to give an accurate picture of what's been going on behind the scenes. It's hard enough as it is to capture one month - let alone four.  But while Lydia was having a nap in the carrier, I felt inspired to get out my microphone and chat about the last 4 months. In the episode I sha...

One of my biggest productivity secrets is clean rest. Clean rest is resting without feeling guilty. Adding clean rest to your calendar is one of the 10 steps of Power Planning for good reason… It creates room for ideas and clarity It reduces the desire to procrastinate (especially revenge bedtime procrastination) It brings the joy and fun back into your business It means there's less time for busy...
