Has perfectionism ever kept you from moving forward? In this vulnerable Season 2 opener, I pull back the curtain on my own struggle with perfectionism that delayed the podcast's return. Despite previously preaching "progress over perfection," I found myself caught in an all-too-familiar trap—comparing my current self not to others, but to my past success.

This comparison paralysis affects countless leaders. After experiencing success (which often propels us into leadership positions), we become hyperaware of maintaining or exceeding those standards. Questions like "What if it doesn't work like it did last time?" or "What if people respond differently?" can leave us frozen in place rather than moving forward. Coupled with decision fatigue from mentally rehearsing countless scenarios, we can find ourselves stuck in analysis paralysis while opportunities pass us by.

The breakthrough came when I realized two powerful truths: first, staying focused on future possibilities rather than past performance creates freedom and momentum; second, "you are not responsible for other people's expectations." This season brings exciting new elements—video content, downloadable resources, compelling interviews, and a growing Grace to Lead community. Throughout it all, we'll continue providing transparent conversations with practical tools for faith-driven leaders. Whether you lead in boardrooms, churches, or homes, join us weekly as we explore how to lead with God's grace in every aspect of our lives.
