Wow, I relate to this so much - my upbringing was similar. Perfectionism has held me back from starting new endeavors. Feeling the need to master everything before starting has prevented me from starting at all. I’m learning to embrace imperfection and understand that progress and learning from failure (I hate it, lol) are more important than striving for perfection.

Aw Michelle, your comment on this post means so much to me. I'm so glad it resonated with you. The learning from failure part is so rough in the beginning haha, I feel you - but yes to embracing imperfection and focusing more on the progress. Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoy the upcoming posts in this series :)
