About this episode

Heidi Dawson discusses the importance of showing up and embracing imperfection over perfectionism.

Feeling stuck in perfectionism? In this episode I share the exact message my inner guidance gave me this morning: B work is better than not showing up at all. As I prepare to leave the country for two weeks and everything feels like it needs to be perfectly batched and buttoned up, I’m learning (again) that progress beats perfection every single time. From my college classmate who spent three days on one intricately designed chair while her senior project deadline loomed, to my own pre-trip anxiety, this conversation is your gentle reminder to calm down, settle into flow, and show up anyway. If you’ve ever held yourself back waiting for things to feel “just right,” this one’s for you. Give yourself permission to do the B work today. 💛 Listen now and let it land.
