How Perfectionism Keeps You Stuck in a FUNK

Published: Dec. 6, 2021, 1 p.m.

We may think perfectionism is a badge of honor, but let's call it what it is: FEAR in disguise and is the killer of dreams.

Perfectionism keeps us so stuck that we spend months or even years thinking about starting a podcast, and then finally when you do, perfectionism rears it's ugly head again telling you it's not good enough ... record it again, create a better graphic, or promotional copy ... it's just not good enough ... you're not good enough.

If you haven't started a podcast yet: how does wanting it to be perfect show up for you? 

If you have a podcast: how does perfectionism show up and take the fun out of it all? 

You can stay in your PJs and fave hoodie all day … and still create a big, beautiful business of your dreams and a podcast to be proud of!

Here’s how I see perfectionism rear its ugly head with my podcast coaching clients (and if any of these hit a nerve … GOOD!)

They think …

  • I need the right equipment before starting
  • Still exploring the options
  • I’m looking for the right producer/editor
  • Waiting until the website is set up 
  • Keep re-recording because they don't like their voice, or a small slip up
  • Writing and re-writing scripts/bullets because they have to be right first
  • It should be a ground-breaking, profound topic 
  • Indecision about where to start - which topics come first
  • They want to practice, take speaking classes first
  • They want to wait until they have more time to go “all-in”
  • Don't think they can have a seat at the "big coaches" table 

If any of these sound familiar, then I’m here to help. Let’s fuel your podcast with FUN and ease by checking out my free masterclass where I show you how to podcast in 3 steps.
