In this episode of the Dear Creative Mind podcast, we dive deep into the all-too-familiar cycle of procrastination. We explore the emotional roots behind procrastination—how it's not laziness, but often a response to fear, perfectionism, and overwhelm. Instead of just looking for quick fixes, we’re getting curious about what’s really going on under the surface. What’s driving us to avoid certain things? How can we understand it better and shift our relationship with it? Let’s stay curious and get closer to this pattern of stop-and-go, so we can release the important work we’re holding back and finally share it with the world.
About me
Pascale Côté is a creativity guide, therapeutic arts practitioner, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet, understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work *with* their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of against it. She helps artists, visionaries, disruptors and earth stewards break free from the vortex of overthinking and move forward with their bold, rebellious ideas. Her work challenges conventional norms, inviting creatives to explore what’s possible when they release outdated narratives and embrace their true, authentic expression. Pascale believes that art is a powerful vehicle for both individual and collective change when it’s grounded in truth—created outside the rigid systems that stifle our creative spirit.
About the podcast
Creative minds are the architects of a new world, and their art holds the keys to reimagining our reality. The challenge is, creative minds often spend just as much time crafting self-limiting narratives as they do creating their art. Dear Creative Mind is a space for creative liberation—a pathway out of the cycle of overthinking, burnout, and stagnation. This podcast is for artists & creative entrepreneurs where Pascale, creativity guide, shares grounding meditations, gentle coaching guidance and heartfelt conversations with inspiring artists. The podcast explores the real challenges that come with being creative—overthinking, self-doubt, burnout—and how to navigate them while staying true to our vision.
