This podcast is the go-to space for brilliant women who need a courage pep talk from time to time. Building courage in our lives and our work is hard. And so I want to be able to show up here in this podcast space and make that vulnerable, courage building journey, a little less lonely for us all. I want you to know that you can come here and find a little bit of insight, a little bit of solidarity, or a little bit of support, and just take it with you into the world and do your thing. Consider this your personal pep talk station.

Episode 25: What’s Your Method Of Hiding? Part 1: Perfectionism

As I was preparing and planning for what I wanted to cover on the podcast in this next season, I started thinking about some of the common things that are keeping us from building courage and being brave and through my work coaching women running businesses I’ve had a pretty good front row seat to all of the sneaky ways that I see fear showing up and keeping us from sharing our work, our ideas and our thoughts. So I thought it would be a good time to dig into some of these common methods of hiding that maybe you can identify with. Some of them are pretty obvious, but today I want to start with one that I know all too well – it’s one of my most common methods of hiding that I use to protect me from vulnerability and it’s also a really sneaky one for women (I’ll explain in a bit) and that, my friends, is perfectionism.

I know there are women listening to this podcast who have important messages to share but whose self-doubt and fear is keeping them quiet or hidden. I know there are women listening to this podcast who think maybe think that perfectionism doesn’t relate to them or that their perfectionism is just "attention to detail".

I know that so many of us are caught up in the myth that we need to be more something – more qualified, more prepared, more expert, more influential, more polished – than we are in order to share our ideas or work or to try and develop something that we really want to.... this episode is for you.
