Welcome to the very first episode of The Epiphany Effect — a podcast where wise words spark fresh insight and real-life growth.

In this episode, host Ash unpacks a powerful quote from Brené Brown’s The Gifts of Imperfection to explore how perfectionism can quietly take hold of our thoughts, decisions, and self-worth. With honesty, a dash of humor, and a couple of painfully relatable stories (like forgetting a job interview outfit and one very crunchy spaghetti squash), Ash reveals how perfectionism doesn’t protect us — it traps us.

Together, we’ll explore:
✅ What perfectionism really is (hint: it’s not just “trying to do your best”).
✅ Where it comes from and why it feels so hard to let go.
✅ How it affects your relationships, confidence, and joy.
✅ Practical, compassionate steps to release its grip and embrace imperfection.

Whether you’ve ever felt “not enough,” struggled with high self-imposed standards, or just need permission to show up as you are — this episode offers insight and encouragement to start breaking free.

🧠 Reflective. Relatable. Real.
Perfectly imperfect? That’s where the magic begins.
