We unpack how self‑sabotage hides in overthinking, perfectionism, and “not ready” stories, and we turn insight into simple actions that build trust and momentum. We share personal wins, five common traps, and a toolkit to ship B‑plus work consistently.

• defining self‑sabotage and how overthinking fuels it
• personal story on choosing progress over perfection
• five sneaky habits that stall momentum
• why “not original” is a myth and your 1 percent matters
• roots in fear, self‑worth, and conditioning
• naming the inner critic to shrink its power
• five strategies: catch, write, time‑box, speak, celebrate
• affirmations to anchor bold, imperfect action

And of course, we'll have a worksheet down below for you to follow with the episode

Ever feel like you need every light to turn green before you can move? We go straight at the perfectionism trap—how fear of failure hides behind “high standards,” why overthinking demands certainty, and what it really takes to create momentum when your brain wants to stall. With real talk and practical tools, we reframe failure as feedback, swap flawless for finished, and show how B plus work can be the smartest path to growth.

We dig into the roots that keep perfectionism in place: childhood praise tied to achievement, the sting of judgment and rejection, people-pleasing habits, and social pressures that make public missteps feel riskier, especially across BIPOC communities. By naming the spiral—wait until perfect, miss the moment, feel stuck—we reveal how confidence actually grows: not from polishing in private, but from shipping, learning, and iterating in public. You’ll hear a simple mindset shift, a few memorable lines you can repeat when fear flares, and a structure that turns ideas into action.

You’ll also get a set of journaling prompts to cut through anxiety, a playful method for taming the inner critic by naming it, and a weekly challenge to ship something at 80 percent done. We close with clear affirmations to anchor courage over paralysis and an invitation to share your imperfect wins with our community. Ready to trade pressure for progress and move your dream from draft to done? Hit play, then tell us what you’re launching.
