Episode 26: Am I Lazy… or Just Avoiding My Own Life?


Listen Later

Ever stand in the shower mentally beating yourself up for being “lazy”… while also running a full life, managing responsibilities, and generally doing a thousand things?

Yeah. Same.

In this episode of The Sage Stage, we start with a simple question that quickly spirals into something much bigger:

Is procrastination actually laziness… or is it fear?

Because if we’re honest, most of us know exactly what we should be doing — exercising, taking care of ourselves, chasing the thing we say we want.

So why don’t we do it?

This conversation wanders (as all good ones do) through:

  • Why procrastination often hides fear, failure, or self-worth issues

  • The weird human habit of organizing cupboards instead of changing our lives

  • Why it's easier to live in a life that’s just “meh” than actually take responsibility for what we want

  • The uncomfortable truth about self-worth and commitment

  • Parenting, identity, and the empty nest reality check

  • The strange ways women reshape their lives around relationships

  • Why exercise feels like punishment but dancing for four hours somehow doesn’t

We also talk about the moment many of us hit in midlife:

When the kids are grown, the routines change, and suddenly you have to ask yourself…

“Who am I now?”

Along the way there are a few laughs, a couple of uncomfortable realizations, and an extremely questionable plan to start dance-walking for exercise.

Will it work?

Stay tuned.😘
