Key Takeaways
- Fear is boring—it recycles the same script, keeping you stuck with the illusion that perfection will keep you safe.
- Perfectionism often hides in plain sight, rebranded as productivity or “being responsible,” but it’s still just fear in disguise.
- The achiever mindset can be a mask for deep wounds, often rooted in rejection, abandonment, or a need to prove worth.
- Neurodiverse thinkers, especially those with ADHD or HSP traits, often struggle with linear systems and benefit from reclaiming their creative, non-linear minds.
- The antidote to burnout isn’t working harder—it’s cultivating kindness, curiosity, and allowing yourself to grow at your own pace.
