<p>There’s a particular kind of loneliness that comes from standing just outside the life you want.Not because you don’t care enough.Not because you’re lazy.Not because you aren’t capable.But because wanting something deeply can feel incredibly vulnerable.In this episode, I explore the emotional layers underneath perfectionism — not just the fear of failure, but the sadness, longing, uncertainty, and loneliness that can live underneath our “almosts.” The projects we keep restarting.The conversations we almost have.The dreams we almost move toward. The versions of ourselves we almost allow ourselves to become.I share my own experience of trying (and repeatedly failing) to record this episode while navigating grief, major life transitions, perfectionism, and the painful thought:“I can’t have what I want.” </p><p>We explore:</p><p>✨ Why perfectionism can become a form of emotional protection</p><p>✨ The connection between perfectionism and loneliness</p><p>✨ How “almost living” keeps us close to what we want without fully risking disappointment</p><p>✨ Why wanting something without guarantees can feel so painful</p><p>✨ The difference between authentic expression and turning our dreams into evidence of our worth</p><p>✨ A gentler, more compassionate way to approach the parts of ourselves that feel stuckThis episode is not about becoming fearless or perfectly confident.It’s about learning how to stay with yourself in the vulnerability of wanting something meaningful… and allowing one real, imperfect thing to exist anyway.If you’ve been circling something you care deeply about — a creative project, a relationship, a decision, a new chapter — I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.</p><p>🎙️ See It Be It Podcast with Kirsten McKinnon - A place to come home to yourself.

<p>I thought I was being self-aware. I wasn’t.If you’ve ever thought you were being self-aware… but later realized you weren’t, this episode shows what can happen — and what it can cost.In this episode of See It Be It with Kirsten McKinnon, I share a personal experience where I believed I was staying with myself… but was actually staying with a story I hadn’t checked.What unfolded was subtle — and easy to miss:a shift from grounded clarity → into assumption,from connection → into uncertainty,from self-trust → into overthinking.And it cost me three days I can’t get back.This isn’t about getting it “right.”It’s about recognizing the moment where self-awareness quietly turns into self-abandonment — and what it takes to come back.If you’ve ever:- questioned a relationship without checking your assumptions,- talked yourself out of what you initially knew,- or looked outside yourself for clarity when something felt off,this episode will help you see where that shift happens — and how to catch it sooner.🗓 Free Workshop: Stop Abandoning Yourself — A Live Workshop on Self-LeadershipLearn how to interrupt self-abandonment patterns in real time and begin staying with yourself in the moments that matter.📅 April 23🕛 12:00–1:30 PM ET💻 Live on Zoom (replay provided)👉 https://www.seeitbeit.ca/free-workshop🔍 WHAT YOU’LL SEE IN THIS EPISODE- How self-awareness can subtly turn into assumption- The difference between staying with a feeling vs. staying with a story- What happens when you seek support while already ungrounded- How outside input can amplify a narrative instead of clarify it- What it looks like to return to your own knowing🎧 ABOUT THE PODCASTSee It Be It is a space for courageous clarity and embodied experimentation — where you don’t just imagine a different life, you practice creating it while becoming more yourself.</p>
