Ep 16. Procrastination Isn’t Laziness — It’s a Signal: How to Spot It and Shift It

Think you’re just lazy or lacking willpower? Think again. In this episode of The Empowered Podcast, we break down one of the most common – and misunderstood – barriers busy women face: procrastination. You’ll learn why putting off your workouts, meal prep, or self-care isn’t about being unmotivated — it’s an emotional response rooted in how your brain seeks comfort.
Jenni unpacks the psychology behind procrastination, including short-term mood repair, emotional avoidance, and cognitive distortions, and shows you how to break the cycle. Plus, she shares three powerful mindset and behaviour shifts — from identity-based habits to the S.T.A.R.T. method — that will help you get unstuck and start following through. If you’re juggling work, parenting, perimenopause, or just life — this one’s for you. 🎁 Want to go deeper?
