278. Make This List If You're Burnt Out (It Changed Everything)

Have you ever heard a quote at exactly the moment you needed it? Like it practically reached out and grabbed you by the shoulders?

That happened to me recently when I heard this line from The Artist’s Way: "perfectionism isn’t a quest for the best… it’s a pursuit of the worst in ourselves.

Oof. Holy cannoli. That one knocked me flat.

In this episode, I’m sharing the simple exercise that helped me see my burnout in black and white—and how you can use it to finally exhale.

You’ll hear…

1. The quote about perfectionism that stopped me in my tracks
2. The unexpected way I realized I am a perfectionist (even though I swore I wasn’t)
3. What I wrote on my “trying to do this perfectly” list—and why it shocked me
4. How this one list immediately softened my burnout and anxiety
5. Why doing “everything right” might actually be the thing holding you back
