In a recent group coaching session with my own high performance coach, Dawn asked: “Do you identify as a perfectionist?” My gut response was an easy ‘no'. Then she read out a list of perfectionism traits - procrastination. harsh self-criticism. over-preparing- and I mentally ticked off nearly every one.

In this moment, I realised it was time to break the cycle - before perfectionism turned my passion into a passing regret.

The pace of startup life is fast. One quarter rolls into the next. Reflection and pausing to deliberately learn gets pushed down the list. Coming into 2025, I knew I didn’t want that. I didn’t want to leave my growth - or my learning - to chance. I didn’t want to lose sight of the deeper arc of what I’m building and why.

So I created something new: a Wayfinding Retreat.
