Perfectionism Held Me Back - What I Did To Restore Balance

In this episode of Spirit School, I delve into the topic of perfectionism, a challenge I've encountered throughout my journey as an Indigenous spiritual medium. As a Virgo, a sign known for its meticulous nature, I've always been negotiating with perfectionism, which has accompanied me since I began my spiritual and mediumship development in 2013. I share how this perfectionist tendency first manifested when I set a goal of 150 practice readings before offering paid services, highlighting the pressure I felt to ensure I was ready. Through astrology and personality assessments, I've gained insights and permission slips that have helped me embrace my Virgo nature while continuing to strive for growth and healing. I also recount the transformation of my online blog into the Spirit School podcast in 2018, a journey that involved overcoming the paralyzing grip of perfectionism. A health crisis prompted me to take bold steps forward, leading to the creation of a podcast that has since blossomed into an online school and book. In exploring how perfectionism often masks underlying fears, I share techniques I've developed to push through, such as launching projects before they're "perfect" and learning through experience. By looking through the lens of love and compassion, I offer a path to overcoming fear and perfectionism, encouraging others in the spiritual space to lead by example, embrace imperfection, and evolve with the freedom and accountability that 2024 brings.
