Episode 3 - 🧠 Ever felt like you had to nail something perfectly on the very first try… or else?
In this episode of Life’s Bumps and Bruises, Joel Sheldon opens up about the pressure he’s been putting on himself to make the podcast “perfect” from day one — and the spiral of self-doubt that comes with it. Luke Lee Tet listens, challenges, and helps unpack why chasing flawlessness can leave us stuck, stressed, and second-guessing.
From dishwasher disasters and Bali knock-off Crocs to the deeper work of self-worth and validation, this is an honest (and often hilarious) look at the messy middle of starting something new — and why we need to give ourselves permission to be imperfect.
🎙 This episode is for you if you’re into:
• Understanding how perfectionism and self-doubt feed each other
• Letting go of the need to “get it right” straight away
• Practical tools to question the stories you tell yourself
• Banter, real talk, and the kind of laughs you don’t plan for
