How to Stop Procrastinating and Get Unstuck
Description
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.

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.
