The Real Root Cause of Procrastination (and How to Overcome It for Good)


Listen Later

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in overthinking…
Told yourself “I’ll start tomorrow”…
Or felt like you’re constantly waiting for the right time to take action—
This episode will shift everything.

In this episode of the You Empowered Podcast, I’m unpacking the real reason you procrastinate—and no, it’s not because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or lacking willpower.

You’ll learn how procrastination is actually a protective response rooted in fear, perfectionism, and identity—and why forcing yourself to “just do it” never works long term.

We’ll break down:

  • Why procrastination isn’t about time management (and what it really is)
  • What’s happening in your brain and nervous system when you avoid action
  • The emotional weight behind “not feeling ready” or “needing to get it perfect”
  • How to finally move forward using my ALIGN Method—a practical, mindset-based process to take action with clarity, not pressure

If you’re someone who overthinks, second-guesses yourself, or knows what to do but just can’t seem to follow through—this episode is for you. It’s real, it’s practical, and it might just be the nudge you’ve been needing to finally move forward with confidence.
