Consistency wins. Every. Single. Time.
We all know that perfection trap. That voice whispering that we’re not good enough. It demands flawlessness from us and creates a never-ending chase for picture-perfect, social-media-worthy moments.
This perfectionist mindset doesn’t just set impossible standards. It’s f*cking exhausting. It steals joy from everyday moments and turns the normal ups and downs of life into evidence that we’re somehow falling short.
And when perimenopause starts messing with hormones, the perfectionist voice can become deafening.
The wise Gina Livy often reminds her community to embrace “Progress Over Perfection”. My Type A personality has struggled with this concept – a lot. The journey to internalize this wisdom has been gradual, and ironically, my attempts at imperfect progress remain… well, imperfect.
But I’m starting to realize that real transformation emerges from small, consistent actions taken daily. Showing up imperfectly but persistently, celebrating tiny wins, and course-correcting with grace not self-judgment.
This consistency is where the real magic happens. Five minutes of mindful breathing won’t heal burnout, but doing it (almost) daily for a month? You’re creating meaningful transformation. These small yet steady actions build the foundation where genuine healing takes root.
And so for perfectly, imperfect you, we’ve gathered these gems to help you tap into the life-changing magic of consistency:

Me a perfectionist?
You might be too. This quiz called me out – I’m both a Classic perfectionist (color-coded
calendars) and a Parisian (queen of ‘whatever you want is great!’). But self-awareness is the key to breaking free. What are you waiting for? Take the quiz!
Perfection is BS!Â

So remember that consistency trumps perfection every time. The small, steady actions you take today, however imperfect, are creating ripples of transformation in your life.
Small steps, big journey. We’re right there with you.
