Getting Real About Imperfect Progress

Celebrating An Imperfect Year - Our Wins, Our Misses, and Why We're Pausing to Reflect

In our final episode of the season, we're looking back on 2025—what we hoped to do, what actually happened, and the wins we're celebrating along the way. We're also inviting you to reflect on your year and honor your own progress, whatever it looked like. Join us for an honest, end-of-year reset as we close out Season 1 of Imperfect Progress and get ready for what's next.

Being Enough in a World That Wants More

Alyssa and Carlie share an honest conversation on being enough as you are. We explore the tension between growth and self-acceptance, share personal reflections, and offer simple steps to redefine “enough” on your own terms.

Small Steps to Rebuild Your Consistency

Ever know what keeps you going… but still fall off? In this episode of Imperfect Progress, Carlie and Alyssa talk about the ups and downs of consistency—the seasons when everything clicks, the times things fall apart, and how to reset without judgment. We’re sharing our personal reflections and simple ways to reconnect with your “why,” take small steps, and keep moving forward, one imperfect step at a time.

Finding Authenticity At Work

What does it mean to do authentic work? In this episode, Alyssa and Carlie explore two sides of authenticity at work: being your true self in any job, and finding work that actually aligns with who you are. We share our own experiences with jobs that felt right and ones that didn't, why we sometimes stay in misaligned roles, and how to start moving toward work that fits.

Getting Real About Imperfect Progress

Six episodes in, Alyssa and Carlie reflect on Imperfect Progress. We talk about why we started this podcast, how making it has changed us, and what keeps us coming back. No script—just an honest conversation about where we're at. Note: The audio quality isn't great this episode—we had some mic issues. But the conversation was too good not to share!
