Ep. 93 | Your Best Is Already Better Than You Think
from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel
In today's episode, I'm talking about a story Ana Gasteyer told on Amy Poehler's podcast Good Hang that I haven't been able to shake — about playing Elphaba in Wicked, obsessing over every performance, and then hearing twenty recordings that all sounded nearly identical. I share why perfectionism isn't your highest self trying to help you — it's fear wearing a lab coat. We'll explore why the gap between your "good enough" and your "perfect" is probably invisible to everyone but you, and what it would look like to trust yourself instead of grading yourself. Question to carry into your day: What are you overthinking right now that's probably already good enough? Want to chat about working together? Me too!
