314. Rethinking Procrastination — Why You’re Not Lazy


Listen Later

Today’s conversation is one that’s so real for so many of us: procrastination.

If you’ve ever found yourself scrubbing the kitchen floor, reorganizing your closet, or redesigning your Canva templates instead of doing the one thing on your list—you’re not alone. And guess what? You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And nothing is wrong with you.

In this episode, Emme and I take some inspiration from a recent Huberman Lab podcast and dive into a deeper, more compassionate perspective on procrastination. We’ll unpack: ✨ Why procrastination isn’t about laziness—it’s about unprocessed emotions. ✨ The surprising role fear, perfectionism, and even grief play in why we delay tasks. ✨ How procrastination can actually be your brain’s way of preparing you. ✨ Simple, grace-filled strategies to move forward—like creating small wins, reframing the story, and giving yourself space to feel.

We get really personal in this one. I even share how wedding emotions snuck up on me (cue the tears 😭) and how processing them unlocked clarity and momentum. You’ll leave with practical tools and, I hope, a fresh sense of kindness toward yourself.

Because procrastination doesn’t define you—it can actually teach you. And when you lean in, honor your emotions, and take one small step, you’ll be amazed at what you can create.

With love, Edie
