Hey, what’s up, everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the Daily New Year’s podcast.
I’m so excited today because this episode of the podcast takes us to the UK. I’ve interviewed one other person from the United Kingdom before, Tomas, in episode #25, and it’s always neat to connect with thought leaders around the world.
Today, Harriet Waley-Cohen and I are diving deep into a specific topic—one that has played a role in holding me back in my own life: perfectionism.
Perfectionism is the enemy of done, and it causes confidence issues, procrastination problems, and so much more. Why tell you everything here?
Dive into the episode and join Harriet and me as we wage war on perfectionism and not feeling good enough about ourselves. Here we go!
