Perfectionism, Purpose, and Letting Go | Sonya Looney on The Travis Macy Show

On this special crossover episode of Grow the Good, I'm resharing a  conversation with Travis Macy from The Travis Macy Show. - - - - - - - The Travis Macy ShowEp. 195. Perfectionism, Purpose, and Letting Go with Sonya LooneyWhat does it really mean to accomplish something and why doesn’t it always feel the way we think it should?This week, I’m joined by my good friend, longtime pro mountain biker, and mindset coach Sonya Looney for a deep and honest conversation about something a lot of us wrestle with, perfectionism.Sonya and I dive into what it means to strive with purpose, how to redefine accomplishment through contribution instead of comparison, and why feeling like we matter isn’t always about metrics. We also talk about big transitions, like Sonya’s move from full-time bike racing to trail running and mental performance coaching—and the freedom (and fear) that comes with letting go of old identities.If you’ve ever been stuck chasing numbers, doubting your worth, or wondering if it’s okay to want something new, I think you’ll find a lot to chew on here. Sonya brings her usual clarity, research-backed wisdom, and vulnerability to the table and I’m always grateful to learn from her!--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
