135: The Real Reason You're Procrastinating—And It's Not Laziness

Ever had one of those days?

You’ve got the list.
You’ve got the plan.
You even have the time…

But somehow, you end up deep-cleaning your kitchen pantry, reorganizing email folders, or scrolling TikTok wondering how that dog learned to skateboard instead of doing the ONE thing you said you’d do. 😅

Yup—been there, done that. 🙋‍♀️

But guess what?

👉 Procrastination doesn’t mean you’re lazy.
👉 It doesn’t mean you’re unmotivated.
👉 It doesn’t mean you’re broken.

It means… your brain is doing its job. 🧠

And in this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m pulling back the curtain on the REAL reason you’re procrastinating. Spoiler: it’s got nothing to do with being lazy—and everything to do with fear, identity, and your subconscious programming.

🔥 We’re getting into:
• Why your brain loves “safe” and avoids “big, bold moves”
• The 3 sneaky fears that fuel your avoidance
• And 3 practical steps to break the cycle (plus a bonus tip to shake things up!)

And if you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “Ughhh why can’t I just DO the thing?”…
This one is gonna hit home. 💥
