Maegan Megginson shares a solo podcast reflection on perfectionism and the myth of finality in business.

DEEPLY RESTED PODCAST

Trusting Process Over Polish

Deeply Rested podcast cover featuring Maegan Megginson, with calming blue-green tones and the show title in bold. A podcast about burnout recovery, self-care, and sustainable small business.

How would your business shift if you trusted process over polish?

This new kind of solo mini episode feels like a vulnerable one, and it’s been a long time coming. In today’s episode, I unpack why I’ve been avoiding recording something like this, what finally shifted, and how perfectionism tries to keep us stuck in the myth of finality.

Whether you’re evolving your message, planning a new offer, or just trying to show up more fully in your work, I hope this reflection helps you soften into the idea that you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.

In this episode, I explore:

  • How internalized systems (capitalism, patriarchy, colonialism) shape our perfectionism (05:25)
  • The energetic drain of chasing “the final version” (08:59)
  • Why your business deserves to evolve in drafts, not just final products (09:46)
  • A few honest questions to help you notice where you’re holding back (12:14)

If waiting until things are polished is wearing you down, this episode is your reminder that sharing the messy middle might be the most powerful thing you can do.
