Procrastination isn’t just laziness—it’s usually a clue. In this episode, we dig into what your foot-dragging is trying to tell you and how to outsmart it with real, doable strategies.

I’ll walk you through the hidden reasons we put things off—boredom, perfectionism, fear, or just not caring that much—and how to tell the difference. We’ll also look at how to use procrastination as a tool (yes, really) and how to break down your to-do list into manageable, less soul-sucking pieces.

If you’ve been staring at your unfinished patient notes, avoiding a big decision, or putting off job applications for months... this one’s for you. You’ll leave with practical hacks, mindset shifts, and a little more grace for your very human brain.

Because sometimes the best way to get unstuck is to understand why you were stuck in the first place.
