Do you ever get stuck dreaming about a goal instead of actually starting it? In this episode of Mindset Reboot, I unpack why procrastination can feel so good—almost cozy—and how perfectionism disguises itself as “just needing more time, more information, or a better plan.” I share my own long journey to finally hitting publish on this very podcast, and why the fantasy of success can feel more delicious than the messy, unpredictable reality of starting.

Together we’ll explore why letting go of the perfect dream is the price of admission to real progress—and why that’s worth it. I’ll give you practical tools to make the leap, from redefining what counts as “starting,” to reframing the exhilaration of taking the first step, to sharing your plans with someone who truly wants the best for you. If you’ve been circling your big idea without moving forward, this episode will help you release perfectionism and finally step into action.

Perfectionism, procrastination, and burnout—these sneaky friends have held me back from my biggest goals, creative projects, and new adventures. In this first episode of Mindset Reboot, I share my own journey with perfectionism and explore a new approach to big dreams. It's time to go beyond the "go hard or go home" bro language that pervades our society but is ultimately counterproductive when it comes to really pursuing a remarkable life as a recovering perfectionist.

I also introduce my theory that self-kindness is the rocket fuel for consistency and goal achievement. By approaching goals with curiosity, patience, and gentle iteration, we can celebrate small wins, learn from pivots, and make real progress without burnout or guilt. This episode is about daring to break free from perfectionism, experimenting with new approaches, and learning together how to move toward the life we really want.
