You can't love a hero
|
“You can’t love a hero.” That line wrecked me when I heard it last week on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast. Because I was the hero. I did everything right. I was “easy.” I worked hard. I stayed out of trouble. I racked up accomplishments. But it was lonely. Perfectionism builds walls. And while it might win approval, it keeps out connection — even from the people who love you most. I remember a moment in high school when I realized that even my own sister didn't know the real me, and that I wasn't sure when, if ever, I'd feel comfortable letting her. I thought being perfect would keep me safe. But it didn’t. It just made me feel invisible. In Good Girl Deprogramming, we talk about this exact thing: how trying to be “safe” and “easy” often cuts us off from being real, being loved, and being free. I’m building a workshop to help you shift from perfection to personhood — and I’d love to have you in it.
Because if perfection isn’t protecting you anymore, maybe it’s time to lay it down. With tenderness, Megan P.S. - I've got 1:1 spots available right now in Good Girl Deprogramming. Schedule your free discovery call today, because you've spent too long playing small already. |

Hi [Name], I’ve been writing a ton this August—and while I haven't even used my tracker’s “fill in” feature for skipped days, it’s not because I’ve been perfect. Some days I write thousands of words. Other days, I don’t write at all. But I’m proud of myself for showing up consistently. Actual excerpt from my 750 words app. And that word—consistently—comes up a lot with my clients. They tell me things like: “I work out, but not consistently.” “I eat healthy, but not consistently.” “I journal,...
