If you’ve got it all together on the outside but are running on fumes, constantly feel like a failure, and seem to only get things done under pressure…this episode will completely change your perspective on life.

Dr. Hayden Finch (licensed clinical psychologist, behavior change expert, and founder of the Finch Center for High Functioning Anxiety) and I delve into the roots of procrastination, high functioning anxiety, mom guilt, burnout, and so much more. Make sure to share this with all the other high-achieving moms you know!

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why procrastination ISN’T a time management problem, laziness, or lack of discipline; it’s an emotional regulation problem
• The vicious condition driving productivity for so many women that flies completely under the radar because it gets PRAISED by our hyper-success-driven society 
• How high functioning anxiety differs from regular anxiety, is naturally masked, and goes hand-in-hand with mom guilt
• Why smiling through the stress, pushing through, and pretending you’re okay when you’re not only hurts your kids
• Why exhaustion isn’t a weakness and a tiny, doable change you can implement TODAY to slow down and start repairing your nervous system
