Manage episode 477496265 series 3653638
In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the moments procrastination sneaks into your life and—more importantly—why. Whether you’re staring at your to-do list, doom-scrolling through Instagram, or putting off that one thing that matters most, I’m breaking down the real emotional and mental triggers behind procrastination.
We’ll walk through some of the most common “when” moments: right before big decisions, during times of transition, or in the middle of your busy week when burnout starts to set in. And we’ll explore the “why” behind those patterns—fear of failure, perfectionism, overwhelm, and so much more.
You’ll hear real coaching stories, simple neuroscience, and strategies to help you interrupt procrastination in real-time. This episode is part 1 of a special 3-part series—and it’s packed with encouragement, truth, and practical guidance you can use right away.
