What happens when you stop relying on feedback, but still don’t fully trust yourself? In this episode of Perfecting Imperfectionism, Certified Professional Coach Laura Meredith explores why perfectionism puts your confidence on trial and how to build lasting self-trust.

Laura shares a personal update about navigating a major career transition and how her own perfectionism once kept her from embracing low-energy seasons. Through that lens, she unpacks why perfectionists often tie confidence to external validation, dismiss their own wins, and end up stuck in cycles of second-guessing.

You’ll learn how to shift from outcome-based confidence (“I’ll feel good when I achieve X”) to internally built confidence rooted in values and self-trust. Laura offers practical tools from making micro-decisions without over-validating, to creating anchor statements, to celebrating wins with at least 10% of the effort they required to achieve.

💡 Reflection Prompt: Think of a recent decision you made where you second-guessed yourself. How would it feel to replace that doubt with trust that you’ll succeed or trust that you’ll learn what you need for next time?

Tune in to discover how to stop putting your confidence on trial, reclaim self-trust, and lead with clarity and resilience.
