In today’s episode, I unpack WHY we procrastinate and what to do about it. I get extra vulnerable with you as I share the nitty gritty of my lifelong struggle with procrastination. I share a few things I’ve done over the past year to gain self awareness around why procrastination is my default and tools that have made my life easier and set me up for success. If you tend to push things off until the last minute, I’m sure that you can relate to the embarrassing stories I share and find a trick or two that will be helpful in your own journey.

In this episode about why we procrastinate :

• Uncovering why we procrastinate and the types of things we are most likely to procrastinate doing

• The 5 things that have helped me combat procrastination

• The importance of self-compassion and grace as we grow through this

More about the Gather in Growth podcast: 

Gather in Growth is more than a podcast—it’s a sanctuary for women coming home to themselves and each other. A sacred space to expand horizons, reignite our power, and live unapologetically as our fullest, most authentic selves.

Hosted by Emily Reuschel, this is a gathering place for the doers, dreamers, and seekers who crave connection, purpose, and meaningful impact. Through raw conversations and soul-deep reflections, we’ll embrace curiosity, step to the edges of our comfort zones, and defy expectations.

Picture this: women gathered around a fire, sharing stories with open hearts—connecting, healing, and evolving together. That’s the spirit of Gather in Growth. This is our space to awaken and embody the lives we’ve been yearning for—lives rooted in alignment, guided by intuition, and built with intention.

If you’re ready to move beyond limits and labels, cultivate deep inner trust, and courageously embrace the magic of who you are, then welcome home. Together, let’s Gather in Growth.
