In this first teaching episode under the new Creative Energy name, we dive deep into the tangled roots of perfectionism: a pattern that keeps so many creatives stuck in fear, performance, and procrastination. Linda and Heather share their personal experiences of how perfectionism has shown up in relationships, business, parenting, and artistic work, offering insight into how to recognize, unravel, and release its grip. If you’ve ever felt held back by the need to get it “just right,” this episode will help you reconnect with your real, imperfect, and wildly creative self.
