Why do I reach for the label maker right before a big launch?
Can organizing my closet actually help my business—or is it just a clever detour?
In this episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, I’m getting real about something I know intimately: productive procrastination.
As a business coach, TEDx speaker, and yes—someone who has definitely deep-cleaned her kitchen the night before a big deadline—I’m here to share what’s really going on behind those tidy distractions.
Here’s what I talk about:
➡️ What “productive procrastination” actually means—and why so many of us fall into its sneaky trap
➡️ A behind-the-scenes story from my shared kitchen during my PhD (yes, I defrosted a freezer to avoid writing!)
➡️ The PAUSE Method—my five-step tool for catching the pattern and gently returning to what really matters
➡️ How tiny actions can move you from stuck to showing up
➡️ This week’s Petite Practice™—one small reset to build momentum and confidence
My reminder this week:
“It’s not about shaming yourself. It’s about learning to catch the pattern and shift with intention. Clarity comes when you take action—one step at a time.”
