Are you a people-pleasing perfectionist? 🤚🏽

Do the holidays secretly make you break out in a stress sweat? 😅

You know the feeling…

🎁 You’re wrapping gifts with perfectly matched paper and bows—just to impress your in-laws.

🍗 You’re planning a “Pinterest-worthy” dinner that leaves you exhausted before anyone even arrives.

🏠 You’re cleaning the house like your self-worth depends on it.

All while trying to look calm, cheerful, and “so together.”

Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: perfectionism loves to whisper, “If it’s not done perfectly, don’t even try.”

But that’s a trap.

Because real success—real growth—comes from trying, failing, and learning.

When we avoid trying altogether, we don’t fail forward… we just stay stuck.

And during the holidays, that perfectionism can be brutal.

We convince ourselves that everything has to look perfect, taste perfect, feel perfect—

so we can prove (mostly to ourselves) that we’re enough.

But what if you stopped performing and started enjoying?

What if the meal burned a little, the wrapping paper didn’t match, and your house was a bit messy…

and you still had the best time?

Perfection doesn’t make memories—presence does.

So this year, let’s make a different kind of to-do list:

✔️ Less pressure.

✔️ More laughter.

✔️ Less proving.

✔️ More living.

If you’re ready to release perfectionism and actually enjoy your holidays this time,
