Why Perfectionism Is Actually a Fear of Being Seen (& How to Teach Your Brain That Visibility Is Safe)

This episode is all about procrastination's cousin - the "workin' on it" mode, how we get ourselves stuck in the trap of perfectionism, where we overcomplicate, overplan, and overwork on projects as a way to avoid visibility. We'll dive into how and why your subconscious avoids the spotlight, and more importantly, how to rewire your brain so that it can feel easier to show up, finally share the things you're working on, and feel SAFE being seen.
