Healthy Perfectionism is an Actual Thing
from Keep the Flow
In this episode of Keep the Flow, I dive into the tangled relationship between creativity and perfectionism. From personal stories of wrestling with unfinished compositions to insights from artists like Bill Frisell and research on "perfectionistic strivings," I explore the fine line between pushing for excellence and getting stuck in self-doubt. Whether you’re chasing creative flow or learning to let go, this episode is a reminder that sometimes 90% is good enough — and that progress beats perfection every time. Hosted on Acast.
