Who Are You Trying to Be Perfect For? Breaking Free from Perfectionism and Showing Up Authentically

from Essence Embodied by Tyne Stecklein · host Tyne

Perfectionism can look like ambition, but more often it feels like pressure. It pulls us out of the present moment, disconnects us from ourselves, and convinces us that who we are right now isn't quite enough.In this episode, I'm sharing my own journey with perfectionism as an actress, performer, and mother. We'll talk about how the pursuit of getting everything "right" can actually keep us from showing up authentically, whether that's in an audition, on stage, at a social event, in motherhood, or in our everyday lives. We'll also explore the connection between perfectionism, self-doubt, confidence, and the fear of being judged.I also share a recent moment when I almost skipped a Hollywood event because I didn't feel polished enough, and what shifted when I chose to lead with my values instead of my appearance.If you've ever felt like you need to be more prepared, more accomplished, more put together, or more perfect before you can fully show up, this conversation is for you. Together we'll explore practical mindset shifts to help you release the pressure of perfection, reconnect with your heart, build greater self-confidence, and remember that your presence will always be more powerful than perfection.Thank you so much for being here!
