So glad this is resonating with you, Paula!

Sunny, thank you as always:) My biggest takeaway is the combination of drop being a perfectionist (yep, that's me) plus show up messy in the sense of test and try out before you think you've reached perfection. I know I should just get on with it, but in-depth research is where I hold myself for fear of messing up. All the best, Angela

Totally can relate to what you said about the drinking!! Omg! I hardly drink anything at all anymore for that very reason…to your point as I’ve gotten older my body responds so much differently to it anyway and I ain’t got time for being hung over and feeling like complete crap for the following 1-2 days!!! So KUDOS to you for mentioning this, no one ever does👏🏾👏🏾

I've been training myself not to by putting videos up that I think have got big mistakes in them. Guess what? Noone notices, so if I had spend more time re-making them for "my ideal of perfection", it would have been wasted time.

No shade…but those folks would not be the first pick as mentors. *** Also, thinking of my goal as two dots on the page & using “legacy thinking” to build the fastest bridge between the dots. *** Perfection’s anti-venom: take permission to "actively show up messy” *** MY FAVORITE TIP: no matter how big you grow…you don’t feel like you know what you’re doing…there’s no certainty…make peace with it… PS - I’m really thinking about that meal-prep idea…
