Let’s get honest for a moment.
There’s a version of you that’s doing everything “right”; showing up, staying late, saying
yes, striving for excellence and still feels like it’s not enough.
Sound familiar?
That’s not because you’re doing anything wrong, it is a result of what you’ve been taught to believe. We’ve all been taught to live in performance mode.
Performance mode is a sneaky cycle.
It whispers, “Prove your worth. Be impressive. Don’t mess up.”
It convinces us that love, acceptance, and success are earned through perfection.
And over time, performance mode births a perfectionist mindset.
One that says, “Only when I get it just right will I feel safe, seen, successful.”
But here’s the catch: those standards? They’re moving targets.
No matter how hard you work, the bar shifts.
No matter how perfect you try to be, it never feels like enough.
What we don’t realize is how much we lose in the process.
We lose our presence.
We often overlook meaningful moments, important conversations, laughs with our kids,
and the inner guidance that leads us.
Because we’re too busy performing.
Presence is not passive; it is active.
It’s in the now where you connect, lead, and grow.
It’s when you stop trying to impress and start choosing to be fully yourself that real
impact begins.
So, if this hits home, I invite you to disrupt the cycle.
Ask yourself:
Where am I performing instead of being?
What does my present self-need more than another checkbox?
What could shift if I chose presence over perfection?
You don’t have to earn your worth.
You already have it.
Let’s break the cycle so you can breathe, belong, and boldly lead from the inside out.
