B+ Work
Have you ever felt panic wash over you when you realize you made a mistake, didn’t do something you were supposed to, or simply forgot?
That was me last night when I realized I hadn’t scheduled my weekly email. Not only had I not scheduled it—I hadn’t written it either.
To be fair, I had a migraine. In fact, it started Saturday night, and I’d been knocked on my ass ever since. Because my migraines are triggered by visual stimuli, I’d been avoiding screens as much as possible. That’s how I missed the reminder on my calendar. And when I finally glanced at it before going to bed, it stopped me in my tracks.
As a recovering people-pleaser, I’ve spent years battling perfectionism. I felt like I had to be the best, do the most, and have everyone think I was amazing. So the thought of skipping my email made my inner alarm bells go off. What would people think of me?
But I’ve learned an important lesson—one I started learning after my husband died, when I couldn’t physically or emotionally give it my all (and most of the time, I couldn’t even give it my some).
My best really is good enough.
Other people’s expectations of me aren’t nearly as high as the ones I’ve carried. And when I aim for B+ work, it takes the anxiety, the panic, and maybe even the resentment out of it.
I’m not saying I slack off or don’t care about doing a good job. I care deeply. But when I show myself compassion and grace for being a human, it eases the pressure.
If this resonates with you—if you’re tired of trying to be everything for everyone, chasing impossible standards, or feeling like you're never doing enough—I’d love to support you.
Life coaching with me is a chance to catch your breath, hear yourself think, and finally start trusting yourself again. Whether you're struggling with a decision, feeling overwhelmed, or just want to feel better in your life—I’m here.
Let’s talk. Schedule a free consultation and let’s see if we’re a good fit. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
You’ve got this. I believe in you,
