Progress over Perfection is a compassionate and powerful guide for anyone ready to step off the exhausting treadmill of perfectionism and embrace the joy of real, messy, meaningful progress.

Written with heart and hard-won wisdom, this book speaks directly to the overachievers, procrastinators, people-pleasers, and self-doubters who feel overwhelmed by the relentless pressure to get everything "just right." Whether you're a high-performer paralyzed by the fear of failure or a creative soul held back by self-criticism, this book offers a liberating roadmap to reclaim your confidence, creativity, and calm.

Through deeply personal storytelling, psychological insight, and practical tools, Lara Quinn unpacks the hidden costs of perfectionism—burnout, anxiety, disconnection—and offers a healthier path forward: one grounded in self-compassion, resilience, and small, sustainable steps.

You'll learn how to:

  • Recognize and break free from the perfectionism cycle
  • Silence your inner critic and cultivate self-kindness
  • Reframe failure as fuel for growth
  • Let go of the illusion of control and find peace in uncertainty
  • Create realistic goals and celebrate imperfect progress
  • Build authentic relationships not based on unrealistic expectations
  • Manage burnout, comparison, and self-doubt in a world that demands flawlessness
  • With insights rooted in psychology, mindfulness, and real-life experience, Progress over Perfection empowers you to redefine success on your own terms. Instead of chasing impossible standards, you'll learn to thrive in the beautiful chaos of life—where progress, not perfection, leads to lasting happiness and growth.

    This book is for:

  • Ambitious professionals struggling with imposter syndrome
  • Parents navigating unrealistic standards in child-rearing
  • Creatives and entrepreneurs paralyzed by fear of failure
  • Anyone tired of people-pleasing, procrastination, and burnout
  • Whether you're battling your inner critic, burnt out from doing too much, or simply craving a more peaceful, purposeful life, this book is your permission slip to breathe, begin again, and choose progress.

    Let go of perfection. Embrace your humanity. And take that next brave, beautiful step.
