Ever feel like you're stuck on the hamster wheel of "shoulds" and "supposed-tos"? You're not alone. Our society throws the word "perfection" around like confetti and 'instagram vs reality' is the bain of our existence, let's be honest – it's fucking exhausting. Here's the truth (that we all know, but often forget)

Perfection is a myth.

Think about it. Have you ever met someone who's absolutely perfect at everything? Yeah, me either. We're all a glorious mess of strengths, weaknesses, quirks, and passions. It's these very imperfections that make us unique and so interesting. I love these things in people way more than I like their perfectly curated lives.

So, why do we spend so much time chasing this mythical ideal when it usually leads to two not-so-great options:

  • Analysis Paralysis: We get so bogged down in the details and fear of not being good enough, or failure, that we never even start. (Anyone else familiar with the "I'll start being healthy next Monday" cycle?)
  • Burnout: We push ourselves to the limit trying to achieve these impossible standarde, leading to stress, exhaustion, and eventually giving up altogether.

There's a better way. A fierce AF way.

Progress, not perfection, is what makes life truly exciting. It's about taking that first step, celebrating the little wins, and learning from the inevitable setbacks. It's about showing up, even when you feel imperfect, and doing the damn thing anyway, even if it's not perfect.

Here's the secret: progress is sexy. There's a quiet power in taking consistent action, no matter how small, towards your goals. Each step forward, each challenge overcome, builds your confidence, and fuels your desire for more.

But how do you actually make progress happen?
