Stop Over-Editing & Burning Out | The Flow

💡 FREE Podcasting Course: https://ecamm.tv/freepodcastcourse

If you’ve ever found yourself re-recording the same clip 12 times or obsessing over every edit until the fun disappears — this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Flow, Doc digs into the real reason so many creators struggle to stay consistent: perfectionism. We’ll explore how chasing flawless videos drains your creative energy, keeps you stuck, and prevents the authentic connection your audience actually wants.

You’ll learn:
🎬 Why over-editing kills momentum (and how to stop)
⚡ How to build consistency by embracing imperfection
🧠 Simple mindset shifts to keep showing up — even when motivation dips
🛠️ Practical ways to streamline your recording process using Ecamm
❤️ Why your audience connects more with you, not your production value

This one’s all about reclaiming your time, your energy, and your creative joy. Because showing up consistently beats showing up perfectly every single time.
