#49 - Do Something Anyway: With Guest Monica Packer
Description
In this week's episode, Kathie sits down with Monica Packer, creator of the About Progress podcast, to talk about what it really means to push back against perfectionism driven by comparison.
Monica shares her powerful “Do Something Anyway” philosophy: the idea that you don’t have to be ready, qualified, or perfect to start, you just have to begin. Together, we unpack why it’s okay to be mediocre and how action itself builds confidence.
Monica opens up about two vulnerable moments when she chose to show up despite fear and self-doubt—traveling abroad alone and accepting a lunch invitation in her dream community. Her stories remind us that when we let go of perfection and embrace progress, we not only grow but also create space to both give and receive from others.
If you’ve ever waited to feel “ready” before taking a step, this episode will encourage you to do something anyway.
