314. Rethinking Procrastination â Why Youâre Not Lazy
 August 28, 2025
Â
Todayâs conversation is one thatâs so real for so many of us: procrastination.
If youâve ever found yourself scrubbing the kitchen floor, reorganizing your closet, or redesigning your Canva templates instead of doing the one thing on your listâyouâre not alone. And guess what? Youâre not lazy. Youâre not broken. And nothing is wrong with you.
In this episode, Emme and I take some inspiration from a recent Huberman Lab podcast and dive into a deeper, more compassionate perspective on procrastination. Weâll unpack:
⨠Why procrastination isnât about lazinessâitâs about unprocessed emotions.
⨠The surprising role fear, perfectionism, and even grief play in why we delay tasks.
⨠How procrastination can actually be your brainâs way of preparing you.
⨠Simple, grace-filled strategies to move forwardâlike creating small wins, reframing the story, and giving yourself space to feel.
We get really personal in this one. I even share how wedding emotions snuck up on me (cue the tears đ) and how processing them unlocked clarity and momentum. Youâll leave with practical tools and, I hope, a fresh sense of kindness toward yourself.
Because procrastination doesnât define youâit can actually teach you. And when you lean in, honor your emotions, and take one small step, youâll be amazed at what you can create.
With love,
Edie
