📝 Episode Summary
Anxiety loves control—and it tricks us into thinking we can earn safety by doing everything “just right.” In this episode, we explore how perfectionism and hypervigilance show up in daily life, why it feels impossible to relax, and what it looks like to practice safety in the absence of certainty.
✨ You’ll Learn:
Why your nervous system resists rest when things feel unsettled
How perfectionism is a safety strategy, not a personality trait
How to begin tolerating “good enough” without spiraling
🧠 Try This After You Listen:
Choose one small area of your life to let be “good enough” today—like leaving the dishes for tomorrow, sending the email without rereading it five times, or resting before the list is finished.
