Perfectionism, does it help or hold you back? | Waves and Symbols | Episode 04

28 August 2026

You hold onto a track for weeks because "it's not ready yet." And then it turns out the version from day one was better. Sound familiar?

In the fourth episode of "Waves and Symbols" we break perfectionism down into two different mechanisms. One is a high standard of craft that drives you forward. The other is the perfect excuse, and something else entirely is hiding behind it. We talk about where the line between them runs and how to tell which side of it you're on right now.

No theory from self-help books. Three practitioners, concrete mistakes from our own work, and lessons that came at a cost. Among other things, we go back to "Honey Dripping" by Juno Willo to show, on a real example, how this plays out in practice.

Once again behind the mics: Zuzia, Aneta and Michał.

We invite all you lovely folks to have a listen! ;-)
