Ep 532: How to Stop Over-Challenging Yourself So You Can Get Unstuck

The Perfectionism Project

Over-challenging yourself is one of the sneakiest ways that perfectionism is keeping you stuck in your business - and that’s exactly what this episode will help you overcome.

My clients are people who love to learn, grow and push themselves. But what I’ve seen time and time again - and experienced myself - is how over-challenging ourselves can lead to freezing or getting stuck in productive procrastination for months.

In this episode, I unpack a powerful coaching moment from inside my program Perfectionists Getting Shit Done. I reveal what it really looks like to over-challenge yourself and why over-challenging yourself actually makes it harder to achieve your goals. I also share practical strategies that will allow you to step outside your comfort zone without spinning yourself out.

Whether you’re trying to post consistently on social media, launch something new into the world or perform at an open mic like the PGSDer I coached - this episode will help you get unstuck and build momentum, one aligned challenge at a time.
