Here’s the truth: High achieving women tend to be perfectionists. Perfectionism can become a form of self-sabotage that steals your joy, one melted sofa at a time.

In a post-baby haze, I blew up my white Pottery Barn sofa like a mad scientist! 🤦‍♀️😂

I was cleaning it like a crazy person (baby 3 postpartum)- mixing bleach and cleaners until...whoops! The covers started disintegrating!

Mine is the most out of control when I’m sleep deprived or in a busy season of life (now).

There’s nothing wrong with you for wanting a beautiful life and working hard to achieve it. You just wanna make it work to your advantage.

3 Perfectionist Survival Tips:
1. Use the 80 20 Rule: 80% done > perfect. 20% high effort ✅
2. Laugh and embrace peace over perfection 😂
3. Put a time limit on your project ❤️

Drop a 😂 if you’ve ever been here. What’s YOUR perfectionist fail story?”

Let’s hope I don’t do the same thing to this sofa, baby 4 postpartum. 🤞

I find myself crying to my mom on the phone the ot

I find myself crying to my mom on the phone the other day, telling her I can’t do it all and it’s hard to feel like I’m failing…but failing who-my crazy super high expectations self. That’s who! She is a beast! 🤣

She thought something terrible had happened when she picked up the phone to my weeping.

No, just me failing at meeting my own expectations and crumbling the same way I did when I got a my first B in high school. Oh wah. Not being able to be your best version of your best self for everyone else.

You see, I don’t do this stuff for the ‘Gram. This is who you and I have been since forever. Pinterest came out and it was our steroids. Lol

Do you have the highest expectations for yourself? Trying to make everything special for everyone and creating the loftiest lists for yourself?

I’ve GOT TO DO all the things to make the tastiest food, prettiest party and most memorable celebration. Not for the ‘gram but it’s my zest for life.

The Internet has given us the steroids we thought we needed to go beyond the barriers of beauty and creativity in every corner of our life.

BUT not every single moment or every season of life has to be a zesty one, in this way.

I’ve had to find ways to reduce the load and the expectations.

I’m constantly examining things as aesthetic or abundant or that perfect mix of both.

Do you set crazy high expectations for yourself? How do you deal with it? Please share below 👇

Talk about a real estate flip! Asking 11 million a

Talk about a real estate flip! Asking 11 million and she bought it in the 3’s. They did buy surrounding acreage, which totally adds value.

I love this house for the open layout and so many bonuses like a greenhouse I think a stable, generous guest house, pool and chicken coop.

The biggest value is that it is move in ready. Move-in-ready houses are aesthetic and abundant because you can start living instead of lots of time going to planning and renovations.

The drawback is that it may not be exactly your style, but you are going to save time and money in the end. you can put your own touches with paint and decor or little updates over time.

A move in ready is going to cost more than a fixer upper but the time you save is a huge benefit.

Looking for your next home? I can help. Head to the Link in my bio for a consultation.

Are you a move-in-ready or fixer upper person?

💯Yes on all of these! There are so many project

💯Yes on all of these! There are so many projects that you can hire out and have done within a few days that will make your house absolutely transform.

I’ve done full gut kitchen renovations that take over three months and the results were incredible but keep in mind. There are also other options.

A huge part of changing our lifestyle when we moved here was having abundance of time, but wanting a beautiful home is always going to be really important too.

It’s not for the ‘gram. 😀 It’s so fundamental to your identity to have a beautiful space.

It’s important that it doesn’t rule your life. Remember to prioritize your health and being in connection with those you love.

That being said there is no shame in pouring into your home. A space you love can absolutely enhance the experience with your family when you nurture the people first.

When my space feels cluttered or not styled well, I feel stress and worry. A beautiful space makes me feel like how other people might feel in a new dress. It’s a part of your identity.

You can find the most incredible craftsman through real estate agents, yelp or even talking to people at the paint store.

Cheers to my aesthetic and abundant friends!

I’m dying to know what your next project is….
