In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful snippet from a PGSD coaching call where I coached my client, Arielle, on using Power Planning in a way that actually works for her, instead of against her.

As perfectionists, we often don’t realize how our own thinking is making us stuck. We give up right when we’re about to see results. We tell ourselves we’re not doing enough. We feel pressure to plan perfectly, and when we don’t, we spiral into overwhelm and inaction.

That’s exactly what happened to Arielle. She wanted to use Power Planning but felt unsure whether she’d be able to “do it right.” And that hesitation was making planning feel like a struggle instead of a tool to help her.

On this call, I coached Arielle through this mindset block so she could drop the pressure to plan perfectly and start using Power Planning to fully support herself no matter what comes up during the week.

This is why coaching is so valuable for perfectionists. You don’t need another to-do list or a new planner. You need to rewire the way you think about planning, productivity, and persistence so that you can actually follow through consistently without burning out.

Inside Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD), you’ll get access to weekly group coaching calls where you can get coached on the exact challenges that are keeping you stuck. You’ll also watch other perfectionist entrepreneurs work through the same struggles you’ve been facing so you can learn, grow, and take action alongside them.
