Ep.36: Perfection is the Enemy of Progress

from Roots to Radiance · host Nikki Spencer

Perfectionism shows up in sneaky ways when it comes to health: waiting for the “perfect time” to start, quitting after a slip-up, or feeling like small steps don’t count. The truth is, perfection is the enemy of progress. In this episode, I share a story from a fitness class in Spain that highlights how easily we can talk ourselves out of showing up and why it’s the small, imperfect actions that actually move the needle. If you’ve ever felt stuck because you couldn’t do it “right,” this conversation will remind you that messy action is still action, and it’s how real change happens.If you enjoy listening to the podcast, I would love for you to leave me a review/rating!Want to discuss you health?
