If you’ve ever caught yourself scrolling social media instead of tackling that important task, this episode is for you. We’re diving into how to stop procrastinating—without guilt or shame—and what’s actually going on when you keep putting things off.

Here’s the truth: procrastination isn’t laziness. And if you’ve been beating yourself up thinking you just need to "try harder," it’s time for a mindset shift. In this episode of the Go Get Great podcast, I’m unpacking the real reasons for procrastination, how to spot them early, and what you can do to get unstuck. We’ll go beyond the textbook procrastination definition and talk about how it shows up in everyday life and business—especially when you’re managing a lot at once.

We’ll also walk through:

• The most common procrastination reasons and how they differ from task to task

• Why overwhelm is one of the biggest drivers of avoidance

• What to do when you know you’re procrastinating, but don’t know how to move forward

• Practical, simple strategies for how to solve procrastination (without needing a 10-step plan)

Whether you’ve been stuck on a project for weeks or you’re just in the middle of one of those days where nothing gets done, this episode will help you reconnect with your goals and move forward with clarity.

You’ll also hear about my own journey with procrastination (especially around big business projects), and how I’ve learned to shift out of avoidance into aligned action.

✨ Ready to feel less stuck and more in control? Press play and let’s take one small step forward—together.
