Perfectionism isn’t about high standards—it’s fear dressed in fancy clothes. In this episode of Paddle Forward, I get real about how perfectionism sneaks into motherhood, business, and even paddleboarding, keeping us stuck and afraid to take action. From the mom who won’t join a baby & me yoga class to the entrepreneur waiting for the "perfect" launch, we’ve all been there. I’ll share my own journey as a recovering perfectionist, what I’ve learned from teaching women to paddle past their fears (literally!), and three powerful ways to break free from perfectionism and move forward with confidence. If you’ve been waiting for permission to show up messy, imperfect, and beautifully YOU—this is it. Grab your paddle, your coffee, and let’s dive in.
