63: Letting Go of Perfection and Learning to Play Again | Markie Tuckett

In this episode of Tina’s Arena, Markie Tuckett, a kitchen and bath designer, shares her heartfelt story of rediscovering herself through hobbies after years of pouring everything into her business. From beading intricate landscapes and watercolour painting to taking up golf, gardening, baking, and sewing, she reflects on how these creative outlets helped her manage depression, quiet perfectionism, and reconnect with joy. Through candid conversation, Markie and Tina explore the messy beauty of unfinished projects, the need for validation, and the importance of finding pleasure outside of work. This story is both a reminder and an invitation to embrace imperfection, try new things, and let hobbies bring light back into daily life.
