092- Wisdom for Procrastination In this episode, Katie Weatherup explores the deeper emotional and energetic roots of procrastination through a shamanic lens. Rather than offering surface-level hacks, she unpacks why we get stuck, what our resistance is trying to communicate, and how to create more harmony between our productive drive and our need for rest and emotional processing. Topics Covered: Why procrastination is often a power struggle between parts of yourself The hidden role of perfectionism, emotional numbing, and overachievement How energetic sensitivity and neurodivergence can impact productivity The connection between procrastination and emotional avoidance Using procrastination as a signal instead of a personal failing How to restore self-efficacy without resorting to inner bullying Tips for making peace with your to-do list and accessing flow Training yourself in smoother transitions between rest and action Using short-time commitments (like 5-10 minutes) to bypass resistance Creating sustainable structures that honor your energy rhythms Key Takeaways: Procrastination is often a symptom of emotional tension or unmet needs. Your inner overachiever might need limits just as much as encouragement. Reframing procrastination as a call for balance can reduce shame and increase effectiveness. Emotional presence is more powerful than willpower alone. Graceful, nonlinear productivity is often more sustainable than forcing yourself. Try This: If you’re stuck on something, try committing to just five minutes of it. You might surprise yourself by shifting into flow—or learn something valuable about what support or timing you need instead. Want to support my work and be supported by my team of guides?

I have my clients read this article before their session. This a condensed version of my About Soul Retrieval article for those who aren’t up for reading quite so much detail and want a shorter version. Soul retrieval can sometimes (but not always) make individuals feel tired as the body undergoes deep healing and integration. This temporary fatigue, usually lasting 48-72 hours, indicates that old energy patterns and blockages are being processed, paving the way for increased energy and vitality in the long term. Soul retrieval can result in various positive side effects, such as increased vitality, emotional healing, improved mental clarity, and stronger spiritual connections. It can also cause shifts in relationships. Soul retrieval is a shamanic healing practice that restores fragmented parts of the soul caused by trauma. The process involves identifying and reintegrating these lost parts to enhance vitality, emotional healing, mental clarity, and spiritual connections.
