The Perfectionism Paradox: Why We Chase Flawless Details


In this episode, we dive deep into perfectionism and our obsession with minor details. We explore the evolutionary wiring that makes us notice every flaw, the dopamine loops that keep us chasing perfection, and how social media has amplified our need to appear flawless.


Why is my golf game so bad?

Did they hear me play that wrong note?


We also unpack the psychological costs—the anxiety, the lost creativity, the constant feeling that nothing is ever good enough and the cost it has on our health and personal relationships.


But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll also talk about practical strategies for breaking the perfectionism cycle.


If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the need to be perfect, this episode is for you.
