Summary

Why don’t I just do everything perfectly?  Shouldn’t I wait for the perfect circumstances before I start?  If you’ve found yourself saying these kinds of things, you might be a perfectionist.  Or maybe just a procrastinator.  Catherine and Donald have been there too.  This week, the couple talk about Marie Forleo’s book, “Everything is Figureoutable” and in particular, her thoughts on the thoughts behind perfection vs. progress.  Perfection is often the enemy of progress and sometimes you just need to hit go.  Plus, Catherine embodies the cringe, Donald is angry at the Dictionary, and this episode really slaps.
