How to Stop Procrastinating and Get Unstuck


Listen Later

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • The deceptive nature of procrastination and how it keeps you stuck.
  • The role of self-worth and external validation in fueling procrastination.
  • The importance of setting and enforcing boundaries in personal and professional life.
  • Practical steps to embrace messy, immediate, and imperfect action.
  • How to reframe mistakes as opportunities for growth rather than reflections of self-worth.

✨ Key Takeaway:

Perfectionism and over-planning are just fancy forms of procrastination. The best way to break free is to take messy, imperfect action—because waiting for the "perfect" moment only keeps you stuck.
