This week, I’m inviting you to lower the bar—not because you’re incapable, but because perfectionism is stalling your progress. I’m breaking down the difference between high standards and paralysis, why “good enough” matters, and how showing up honestly (even in process) is what moves you forward.
In This Episode:
Why perfectionism is fear in a Gucci belt :)
The difference between high standards and creative paralysis
What it really means to “lower the bar” without lowering your vision
How to release your work even when it’s still “working”
A new definition of progress you can actually feel good about

227: From Ghosting to Growth: Relationship Skills, Brand Talk & Beauty as Medicine
In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really been on my mind lately.
First, we get into relationship skills—the ones many of us never learned and why so many people end relationships when things get hard. Then, a little culture check: what’s going on with Meghan Markle, brand timing, and who gets the freedom to try (and fail) publicly. And finally, a reminder we didn’t know we needed—why so many of us are starving for art, beauty, and aesthetics…and how they might just be the medicine we’ve been missing.
