Are you a perfectionist? Do you procrastinate?
Do you:
- Struggle to relax, thinking you're always behind because there’s more you could be doing or accomplishing?
- Spend a lot of time comparing to others, leading you to believe that you're failing at this life thing?
- Seek excessive external validation and believe that your worth is attached to your productivity or output?
- Have a strong urge to take over all tasks because you believe that nobody else is capable of doing it "right"?
- Feel restricted by people's expectations and are always worried about what they’re thinking?
- Hold yourself to sky-high standards - needing everything and everyone to be flawless?
- You often leave things to the last minute, trying to put off the feelings of inadequacy and imposter syndrome?
- Have big life goals and plans that you never seem to get off the ground?
- Have a never ending to-do list that never get accomplished?
If you resonate with these statements above, it is likely that perfectionism and procrastination are getting in the way of you living the life you want.
Perfectionism can be healthy to a certain degree (actually, high achievement, but we'll get to that in the class!) and even motivate us to achieve our grandest dreams. However, it can also negatively impact our sense of self-worth when we fail (because we will) to meet our own unrealistic standards.
Did you know that perfectionism is often interlinked with procrastination? Yes, these behavioral patterns are intertwined with each other. They go hand in hand.
Perfectionists habitually put off tasks and delay goals as they are stuck in their heads planning on how to do things flawlessly and smoothly.
Here’s the thing, friend, there is immense power in realizing that perfection is not needed to be worthy of other's love and acceptance.
If you are ready to commit to yourself and make a big shift in your life, I’d like to invite you to my mini-course - Breaking Up With Perfectionism and Procrastination.
In this 2-part masterclass, you will learn about your childhood upbringing and its impact on your attachment style.
You will also work on your Identity Blueprint - what you believe is true about you-according to your upbringing, experiences and social constructs.
Then, we'll deconstruct the illusion of perfectionism and work on cultivating your internal motivation.
This and so much more! Check out the course details below...

Meet your instructor:
Hi, I’m Maria, or Holisticallygrace on social media (Grace is my middle name, in case you were curious).
I am a multi-passionate human and educator in love with practices that honor the whole person, relationships and environment.
AND up until a couple years ago, someone who found themselves in a constant cycle of self-betrayal.
I was the chronic people pleaser. Except I called it being "polite" "nice" and "dedicated."
I was the perfectionist. The fear of failure consumed my life and didn't allow me to have fun, try new things or step out of my very small comfort zone. I was obsessed with showing a version of myself that didn't exist and took so much energy to upkeep.
I needed to be the perfect student, therapist, wife, stepmom, etc. Oh yes, I can't forget, I also needed to eat perfectly clean. I called it being "healthy." I was everything but that. The self-generated stress really took a toll on my mind, body, and relationships.
I was also the procrastinator. Ok, fine, I am still actively working on this one! BUT I am constantly creating useful organizational systems, showing myself compassion, and understanding my emotional landscape in order to motivate and empower myself (don't worry, I'll share all my not- so- secret-secrets!)
Fast forward to today and I am in such a different place. Don't get me wrong, by no means do I have this whole human thing down. Social media only offers a small glimpse into my world. Behind the scenes, I get lost, struggle, and make mistakes. But now I know how to find and honor myself, get back on my own track and recommit without letting the shame gremlins pull me down under.
The loving and soulful connections that I craved in my younger years have become my reality, especially that elusive connection with myself.
This masterclass is my way of passing along that reality; from my hands to yours. I’ve put my heart and my soul in the creation of this program and I can’t wait for you to become part of this beautiful journey.
By understanding the ways in which we are constantly getting stuck in toxic sabotaging cycles with ourselves and in our interpersonal relationships, we can break free and liberate ourselves from our unhelpful patterns.
This masterclass is not a replacement for clinical therapy. However, the principles that we will work on together will create a shift in your life...for the better.
This masterclass is right for you if:
- You understand that shifting behavioral patterns such as perfectionism and procrastination doesn't happen overnight.

- You are committed to personal development.
- You want to cultivate self-awareness.
