High standards can take you far, but only if they come from the right place. In this episode of The You Empowered Podcast, Justine breaks down the real difference between excellence and perfectionism and why it can make or break your long-term success.

You’ll learn:

• How psychology and neuroscience distinguish excellence’s growth-driven mindset from perfectionism’s fear-driven cycle
• Why meta-analyses link perfectionism to anxiety, depression, burnout and even insomnia, and why it doesn’t reliably improve performance
• The behavioural patterns that help excellence-driven people outperform perfectionists without burning out
• Seven practical steps to shift from perfectionism to excellence so you can protect your energy, build self-trust and keep momentum in business, health and relationships

If you’re a high achiever who wants to raise the bar without falling into all-or-nothing thinking, this episode will give you evidence-based strategies and the mindset shifts you need to stay ambitious and sustainable.
