This episode wasn’t planned — and that’s the point.
I almost didn’t record it because the setup wasn’t perfect, the lighting wasn’t right, and the words weren’t lined up. Then I realized I was doing exactly what I warned against in the last episode.

In this episode, I talk openly about perfectionism, how it kills creativity, and how waiting for “perfect” keeps us stuck. We dive into authenticity, consistency, deadlines, and why starting with what you have matters more than having the perfect setup.

If you’ve been overthinking a project, avoiding starting, or hiding behind high standards, this episode is for you.

YouTube description (slightly longer, more narrative, good for retention):

This episode almost didn’t happen.

I kept waiting for:

The perfect lighting.
The perfect background.
The perfect words.

And then I realized I was falling into the exact trap I warned you about in the last episode.

In this episode, I talk about how perfectionism kills creativity, drains energy, and keeps us from starting the things that actually matter. I share my own struggle with overthinking this podcast, why authenticity beats polish, and how consistency matters more than flawless execution.

We talk about:
– Why perfectionism is disguised as “high standards”– How overthinking blocks creativity and growth– Why starting with what you have is enough– The importance of deadlines and consistency– Letting go of fear, judgment, and the need to be perfect

This episode is raw, unplanned, and real — and that’s exactly why it matters.

If this resonates with you, share it with someone who’s stuck waiting for perfect.

Episode 2: Stop Wearing the MaskYou're exhausting yourself trying to be perfect for people who don't even notice.

THE PROBLEM:We wake up every day and perform. We wear what we think people will like. We hide our flaws. We think everyone's watching and judging us.But here's the truth: Everyone thinks THEIR spotlight is on them. They're not analyzing you - they're worried about themselves.

THE SPOTLIGHT EFFECT:That stain on your shirt? Bad hair day? You think everyone sees it. Reality? Most people don't notice. And if they do, they forget in 10 seconds.

JUDGMENT IS A MIRROR:When people judge you, it's usually about their insecurities, not you. Someone criticizes you for trying something new? They're projecting their own fear of starting.

WHAT TO DO:- Remember most people barely notice you (they're focused on themselves)- Recognize judgment as their issue, not yours- Stop performing and start living authentically- Drop the mask - be yourselfThe weight of pretending every day is exhausting. It drains your energy and kills your spontaneity.What if you just stopped? What if you showed up as yourself?
