Listen "The One About Perfection And Creativity."
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Fifth Floor by Athina Neocleous, I explore the tension between perfection and creativity and why “done” is often better than “good.” I talk about how perfectionism can disguise itself as care but often becomes fear that keeps us from finishing, sharing, and growing. I share a simple framework for working with perfectionism rather than against it, focusing on small steps, reflection, and letting go of the need for flawless outcomes. I also open up about my own experience with perfection and how this very podcast became a reminder that progress, not perfection, is what builds mastery, confidence, and joy, an invitation to release the pressure to be perfect, trust the process, and keep creating.Thank you for being here!
