Are you juggling big technique goals and an upcoming performance? Struggling to fix your vibrato while also cramming notes for an audition? You're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong.

In this episode, we unpack why chasing long-term mastery and short-term perfection at the same time can leave you overwhelmed, stuck, and second-guessing everything.

You'll learn:

· How to separate growth work from prep work without sacrificing either

· Why perfectionism in your "big goal" might be sabotaging your current deadline

· A smarter way to structure your practice when everything feels important

· One essential mindset shift to help you stay grounded and actually make progress

This is for you if you've ever felt like no matter how hard you work, you're not getting better fast enough, or worse, like you're falling behind.

Let's fix that.
