In today's episode, Jamie gets real about perfectionism, ADHD, and letting go of the need to have it all together. She opens up about her adult ADHD diagnosis, years of masking anxiety behind overachievement, and how learning to take messy action changed everything — in motherhood, business, and her bariatric journey. This is the reminder every recovering perfectionist needs: it doesn't have to be perfect to be enough.

 

💡 What We Covered in Today's Episode

• How perfectionism shows up as control, people-pleasing, and burnout

• The connection between ADHD, anxiety, and all-or-nothing thinking

• Why "overachiever" isn't the same as "perfectionist" (and why that matters)

• How Jamie learned to embrace messy action in motherhood and business

• Letting go of comparison and showing up imperfectly in your bariatric journey

• Why progress, not perfection, leads to real peace and happiness
