In this episode our guest Ann Serrie relates that she feels procrastination is crushing her ability to be creative. She wants to learn how to turn the tables and feel the joy of using her creative gifts for her own projects by crushing procrastination. Ann enjoys her job, being a wife, volunteering, and playing with her dogs. She is also a podcast editor, photographer, writer, and novice guitar player - but those projects/hobbies seem out of reach due to a lack of time, energy, and motivation.

 

Ann is frustrated by her inability to accomplish her projects because of other obligations. When she does find free time, procrastination and "laziness" are hindrances to tapping into her creativity. Her goal for this coaching session with Brenda is to learn techniques for crushing procrastination so that she can tap into her creative skills, accomplish her goals, and feel a sense of joy and satisfaction.
