I certainly resonate with not giving a shit. I waste alot of time and energy on this.

I also want to move forward and be okay with making mistakes. I think so often as women especially entrepreneurs we judge ourselves against others and get into a head paralysis. We stop doing because we want perfection due to the ridiculous bars being set on social media.

I want to work towards trying new things and being okay with failing and making mistakes. Even though the outcome is not perfect, not doing anything is even worse than trying and failing.

I am really trying to work towards moving forward in full acceptance that the first, second, third, hell even twentyth time might not be right, but the ultimate belief that it will come together is something I long to embrace and utilize.

Thanks for sharing your vulnerable journey.

What a beautifully self-aware and insightful reflection—thank you for sharing it. I admire how clearly you’ve identified the energy spent on striving for perfection and the courage it takes to recognize the toll that can take. Many people never get to this level of awareness, and it’s such a powerful starting point for transformation.

It’s also so refreshing to hear your willingness to try to embrace imperfection and move forward despite fear of mistakes or being terrified of perceived failure. I feel excited for you exploring this new desire and I look forward to hearing what you notice it brings---I feel excited for the possibility of new-found relief and well-deserved relaxation for you.

Thank you again for your vulnerability and for sharing such relatable truths. This kind of honesty inspires others to reflect on their own journeys. It’s a gift.
