Over-editing. You know, that compulsion to tweak just one more thing, to hold back just a little longer — all under the illusion of “perfecting” your work. But what if the work is already good enough?
In this episode, Jessica Higgins Chapman opens up about her own cycle of over-editing and how fear, perfectionism, and identity can keep us stuck in the editing loop.
She walks you through how to know when your creative work is done, how to confidently release it into the world, and what powerful mindset shifts will help you break free of perfectionism (and the fear to hold on).
In this Episode, You’ll Learn:
- The real reasons creatives struggle to let go of their work
- 4 clear indicators your project is ready to release
- 3 signs you’re caught in the over-editing spiral
- How to create a “closure container” to finish with confidence
- How to define “enough” before you start your next project
Quote of the Week: “Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us, when in fact it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from being seen.” — Brené Brown, Ph.D
