Perfectionism is a topic close to my heart and, as a recovering perfectionist myself, I know it's something many of you are navigating too. This two-part episode is inspired by a conversation with my dear friend Martina Fink—a specialist in self-care and helping perfectionists embrace change.

Perfectionism can be a tricky hurdle for many entrepreneurs. I've been open about my battles with it, a struggle familiar to many of my clients. Martina emphasizes the importance of shifting focus from external validation to living from the inside out. This means detaching from others' expectations and instead doing what truly brings you joy and fulfillment.

Martina and I first connected at a mastermind event in 2017 and have since become the best of friends. I’m thrilled to share insights from our chat, focusing on showing up in the online space as a perfectionist, trusting oneself, and taking bold steps as entrepreneurs and women.

Inside this two-episode special of the Authentic Brand Builders podcast, we’ll dive into:

• How to build a brand when you struggle with comparisonitis and the perfectionism trap on social media.

• One of the most powerful journal prompts from Martina, to help you discover your true passions.

• How to take action or make big changes when you’re worried about looking silly or failing publicly.

• The process of trusting yourself as a business owner and perfectionist.
