#169 Is perfectionism costing you money?
from The Kind Business podcast · host Yarrow Magdalena
Perfectionism can feel like care, integrity, and pride in our work. And in many ways, it is. But when you’re running a small, human business, the pressure to get everything “just right” can quietly hold you back from being visible, sharing your work, and earning a sustainable income.In this episode, I explore the tenderness behind perfectionism and the real costs it can have. I talk about how wearing many hats can blur our sense of balance, why people often crave connection over polish, and how to make grounded decisions about where your time and energy actually matter.I also share two simple questions I use to stay anchored in sustainability and value, plus real examples from my own podcasting practice where imperfection has been part of what made things work.If you’ve ever delayed sharing something because it didn’t feel ready, this one is for you.You are welcome to book a feeler call with me here: https://yarrowmagdalena.17hats.com/p#/scheduling/xckkzgxdszxhcpbppxnfhczfdkghrwfb and you are welcome to join my newsletter over here: https://pinkwellstudio.com/free/Thanks for listening!Love,Yarrow
