Progress Over Perfect: A Mindset Shift for Scrappers

Some days the scissors stay put, the glue feels heavy, and the craft room looks... a little too loud. If you've ever felt "meh," lazy, unmotivated, or creatively overstimulated, this episode is for you.

We're chatting about letting go of perfection, quieting the creative noise, and embracing progress in all its tiny, imperfect forms. Because progress might mean finishing a page... or it might mean shuffling paper, petting your supplies, or simply thinking about creating while still in your pajamas-and guess what? That still counts.

This episode is a gentle, whimsical reminder that creativity doesn't need to be productive to be meaningful. Slow days, half-done pages, and low-mojo moments are all part of the magic.

+ Pajamas welcome

# Messes encouraged

+ Progress > Perfect

Pull up a chair, grab a cozy drink, and let's change the creative mindset-one important scrap at a time <3
