In this penultimate episode of Chapter One, Candice is calling out the one thing keeping you from moving into the life you've been building, perfectionism. Using the metaphor of a house that's been renovated but never moved into, Candice breaks down why "snagging" (obsessively nitpicking every last detail of your life’s rebuild) is really just procrastination wearing a designer outfit. She shares her own experience - from the early days of this very podcast launching with sound only coming out of one ear, to the nine episodes it took to finally get blackout blinds - as proof that you learn by doing, not by waiting until everything is perfect. This episode covers: Why perfectionism is a safety net, not a standard How to know when enough is enough, on your own terms The guilt of silence after chaos and why calm feels so foreign Practicing completion over perfection How to celebrate wins without immediately moving the goalposts Candice's reminder this week: You don't need to fix your life in order to feel like you deserve to live in it.
