170 Letting Go of Getting My Act Together | Barb Patterson

from The Innerverse of Business & Life · host Barbara Patterson

What if the constant drive to optimize, organize, and “get it right” is actually keeping us at a distance from life?In this solo episode, Barb explores the subtle illusion behind getting our act together and how perfectionism and control can quietly delay action, presence, and aliveness.Using everyday examples and the metaphor of the kayak versus the yacht, she invites us to loosen our grip on certainty, trust our capacity to learn, and step more fully into the imperfect, unfolding reality of our lives.Thank you for listening and for being part of this journey.SHOW NOTES:[00:00] - Welcome to The Innerverse of Business and Life Podcast[00:54] - Letting Go of Perfectionism[05:58] - The Illusion of Control[12:52] - Embracing Imperfection and UncertaintySHOW LINKS:Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube Follow Barb on LinkedInFollow Barb on Instagram
