Perfectionism, Procrastination, and Anxiety: The Patterns Keeping You Stuck After Sobriety

You Might Be a Perfectionist (And It’s Stealing Your Peace)

If you’re constantly overthinking, procrastinating, or beating yourself up for not doing “enough” — this episode is going to hit home.

Because perfectionism isn’t about having high standards.
It’s about control, fear, and anxiety — and it’s quietly running your life behind the scenes.

In this episode, we’re exposing how perfectionism shows up in real life (even if you don’t think you’re a perfectionist), where it really comes from, and how to start breaking the cycle.

If you’ve ever said:

• “I just want it to be good…”

• “I’ll start when I feel ready…”

• “I can’t screw this up…”

…then this one’s for you.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

• Why perfectionism is actually a coping mechanism for anxiety

• How it shows up as procrastination, irritability, people-pleasing, and control

• Why so many high-functioning sober people feel stuck — even years into recovery

• How to spot the perfectionist pattern before it steals your peace

• 6 powerful mindset and structure shifts to move forward without the shame spiral

You’ll also hear a personal story from me that cracked this wide open — and gave me a whole new lens on my own fear and vulnerability.
