If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a cycle of overpreparing, second-guessing, or leaving projects unfinished, this episode is for you. Today I’m diving into the hidden perfectionist tendencies behind completion avoidance - why perfectionists often struggle to finish what they start and how to finally break free from that pattern. You’ll learn why completion can feel vulnerable, how your identity might be keeping you stuck, and the real reason decision-making feels so hard. Plus, I’ll share practical strategies to help you finish projects with confidence and ease, without the last-minute stress.

If you’re ready to shift from avoidance to momentum and start completing tasks in a way that supports your business growth, this episode will show you how. Tune in today!
