“What you’re avoiding may be exactly why you’re here.”

We all procrastinate. But what if it’s not because you’re lazy or undisciplined… What if there’s something deeper going on?

In this episode of SoulTalk, I share a different way of understanding procrastination — one that’s more honest, more compassionate, and more empowering. Instead of beating yourself up for the things you haven’t done, we’ll explore what might really be behind the delay. Sometimes, the very thing you’re avoiding is the thing that could change your life.

 But there’s a reason you’re not doing it — and understanding that reason is the key to unlocking your next level.

Whether you’re putting off a difficult conversation, holding back on a big dream, or just stuck in your own head, this episode will help you get clarity, stop judging yourself, and finally move forward with greater purpose and peace.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep doing this?” — this one’s for you.
