145 - How to know if emotional perfectionism is holding you back

Ever feel like you’re not a perfectionist because all you can see are your flaws? Same. But here’s the thing, emotional perfectionism doesn’t always show up as spotless routines or neat colour-coded spreadsheets.

Sometimes, it’s in the ridiculously high standards you hold yourself to... and the way you expect progress to feel. In this episode, I’m breaking down a specific kind of perfectionism that’s keeping so many women stuck: emotional perfectionism.

You’ll learn:

  • Why relying on how you feel over what the data shows is sabotaging your results
  • How this mindset shows up in your training, nutrition, and decision-making
  • 3 real client examples where chasing a feeling of progress led to the wrong calls
  • How to check yourself with this one simple mindset shift I teach all my clients

If you’ve ever hesitated to reverse diet because you’re “not lean enough,” changed programs too soon, or pushed harder when the plan said rest... this one’s for you. Let’s ditch the feelings-based feedback loop and make progress that actually sticks.
