Breaking Free from Procrastination: It’s Not About Laziness

Let’s be honest – we’ve all been there. That PHd dissertation gathering dust, the tough conversation you’re avoiding, or the launch materials sitting in your drafts folder. In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into procrastination – not as a time management issue, but as what it truly is: a complex emotional response tied to our fears, identity, and self-worth. I even share my own biggest procrastination story from 20 years ago that still makes me cringe! Whether you’re a coach helping clients break free from procrastination or struggling with it yourself, this episode offers compassionate insights and practical strategies.
