No shade - we’ve all been there.
The truth about procrastination is that it goes much deeper than laziness or a lack of willpower - it’s a complex mix of fear, perfectionism, and decision fatigue that keeps us stuck.

In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on why you procrastinate, what it costs you and, more importantly, how to stop.
Here’s what we cover:
✔ The surprising ways perfectionism fuels procrastination
✔ How fear of failure—or even fear of success—keeps us stuck
✔ The role of decision fatigue and how to make choices easier
