Procrastination: Learn How to Stop Your Procrastinating and Get Back your Focus EP104

Procrastination is really fear in disguise. Here’s why…

Our brains are cunning, clever, and oh so creative. To the point where we don’t always know why we’re doing certain behaviors or habits.

Things like writers block, lack of concentration, felling “all over the place,” being “overwhelmed,” or even confused are all sneaky forms of procrastination. They sound justifiable when we say them to ourselves or when we whine to others, but if any of these last longer than two days, we have ourselves a “procrastination situation.”

In all of the people I’ve coached privately, when we peel back the layers, below the surface of the “procrastination situation” is always FEAR. Fear of making a mistake, fear of looking stupid, fear that no one will buy the thing, fear of judgment, fear of selling, fear of vulnerability, fear that no one will show up, and so on.

Let’s clear this situation so you can get out of your own way. As we both know, no movement towards success can happen when we are stuck.

Ep 785 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART FOUR: FAWN RESPONSE

You’re doing everything right.

You’re reliable, supportive, and easy to work with. You care about people. You go above and beyond.

But when it comes to money and success… something isn’t adding up.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re receiving, struggling to ask for more, or holding back your voice to keep the peace — this episode explains why.

The fawn response is one of the most overlooked patterns when it comes to money. It shows up as people-pleasing, overdelivering, avoiding conflict, and prioritizing being liked over being paid.

And it quietly caps your income, your growth, and your ability to fully step into your next level.

In this episode, I break down how the fawn response affects your financial decisions, your career or business, and your relationship with money — backed by psychology, nervous system science, and real-world patterns.

Ep 784 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART THREE: FREEZE RESPONSE

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you just can’t get yourself to sell or take action in your business… this episode will explain exactly why.

What most people label as procrastination or lack of discipline is often a nervous system response called freeze, and it quietly impacts your income more than you realize.

In this episode, I break down how the freeze response shows up specifically around money, sales, and visibility. You’ll understand why you can know exactly what to do and still not do it, how your brain is wired to avoid perceived financial risk, and why your income can stall even when you’re “doing all the right things.”

This is where neuroscience, psychology, and money behavior intersect.

Ep 783 Money, Fear & Your Nervous System: What’s Really Controlling Your Income PART TWO: FLIGHT RESPONSE

You tell yourself you’ll deal with it later.
You’ll check your numbers tomorrow.
You’ll follow up next week.
You’ll finally get clear on your money “when things calm down.”

But that moment never seems to come.
And instead… you stay busy doing everything else.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the flight response with money — the pattern that looks like procrastination, distraction, or “being busy,” but is actually your nervous system trying to avoid discomfort.

This is part of a special series on money, fear, and your nervous system, where we uncover how fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses shape your income, business decisions, and ability to receive more.

Because avoiding money doesn’t mean you don’t care about it.
It usually means, on a deeper level…
it doesn’t feel safe.
