Driven and procrastinating? Let’s talk about it

You’re sharp. You’re driven. You get things done.

So why are you suddenly… stuck?

In this episode, we unpack a quiet tension many high-performing leaders face: when internal drive is high, but visible momentum stalls.

It’s not laziness. It’s not a lack of clarity. It’s something deeper.

We’ll explore what’s really behind this friction — and how to move forward with strategic energy, not force.

In this episode, we'll cover:

  • Why driven leaders procrastinate (it’s not about discipline)
  • The hidden friction between identity, expectations, and movement
  • How to spot if you’re in a freeze mode — and what to do about it
  • A reframe to help you regain momentum without pushing harder
