Permission to Be Enough: The Anti-Perfec...

Hannah Teutscher
About this episode

Perfectionism is sneaky. It whispers that we’re not ready, not enough, not doing it right. But what if the pressure to be perfect is actually holding you back from being a truly powerful teacher?
In this episode, Hannah explores how perfectionism shows up in teaching—and how to release it in favor of presence, growth, and joy. You'll walk away with real strategies to shift your mindset, reset your inner dialogue, and connect more deeply with your clients (and yourself).
Whether you're a new instructor or a seasoned pro, this episode will remind you: You don't need to be perfect to make an impact.

What We Cover:

  • The hidden ways perfectionism shows up in teaching
  • What clients really remember (spoiler: it’s not flawless transitions!)
  • What perfectionism is costing you—and how to reclaim your energy
  • The mindset shift from fixed to growth (with examples to reframe your self-talk)
  • How to teach with confidence, even when things aren’t “just right”
