Perfectionism and Anxiety: Why Good Enough Is Actually Perfect In this episode, we dive deep into the exhausting dance between perfectionism and anxiety, exploring why your brain thinks anything less than perfect equals danger. Fabian shares his own perfectionist spirals and breaks down the science behind why high standards can become anxiety traps. You'll discover practical tools for choosing progress over perfection and learn why "done" is always better than perfect. This isn't about lowering your standards—it's about freeing yourself from the impossible standards that keep you stuck in cycles of never being enough.
