Perfectionism might feel like discipline — but in reality, it’s one of the biggest blocks to progress, energy, and joy on the mats. In this episode, I break down the hidden costs of perfectionism for female athletes, from the mental stress it creates to the physical toll it takes on recovery and performance. You’ll learn evidence-based strategies to step out of burnout and back into flow, and I’ll share how you can experience this shift firsthand at my upcoming Performance Immersion Retreat: Becoming Unperfect in Dallas-Fort Worth, April 30 – May 2, 2026.
