If you’ve been beating yourself up for procrastinating on the big moves in your business, this episode is your reframe.

Procrastination isn’t laziness. It’s proof. Proof that your subconscious doesn’t fully agree with the goal you’ve set. In this episode of The Subconscious Expert, Rebecca breaks down why procrastination is actually a parts conflict in your subconscious, the hidden “secondary gain” you’re getting from avoiding action, and how to rewire your mind so every part of you is aligned with your next level.

You’ll walk away seeing procrastination in a whole new light, not as a flaw, but as feedback. And once you know how to clear that conflict, taking bold action becomes inevitable.

Topics covered on Why You Procrastinate:

  • Why procrastination is proof your subconscious doesn’t agree with your conscious goals
  • The parts conflict that keeps you circling instead of moving forward
  • The hidden “secondary gain” you get from procrastination (and how to spot it)
  • Why high level women procrastinate differently than beginners
  • How to rewire procrastination into natural momentum
