Shownotes

You’re not procrastinating… you’re protecting something.

In this episode, I walk you through the difference between procrastination and resistance, and how what feels like avoidance is actually your brain protecting your identity. Once you understand that, everything shifts. I’ll show you how to move through that resistance without waiting for confidence and how to finally take action on the things that matter most.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • The real difference between procrastination and resistance
  • Why resistance shows up when your identity feels at risk
  • The truth about confidence (and why you don’t need it to act)
  • Alternative “fuel sources” to move forward—like purpose, anger, love, and community
  • The power of a simple 5% move to break through the resistance wall
