The Things We Don’t Do (and Why They Follow Us Around)

There are always those things we keep meaning to do… The email. The appointment. The conversation. The task that would probably take five minutes—but somehow lingers for weeks. In this episode, I’m talking about procrastination in a way that feels a little more honest and a lot more relatable. Not as a productivity problem—but as something deeper. Because the truth is… it’s not just that we don’t do the thing. It’s that the thing doesn’t leave us alone. From tax prep to real-life conversations that get delayed, I started noticing a pattern—one that goes beyond me and shows up in all of us. We talk about: Why avoidance actually expands the thing we’re avoiding The ripple effect it can have on other people What’s really happening in your brain when you procrastinate And one simple shift that can help you feel lighter immediately This isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about getting it out of your head. If something has been quietly following you around… this one’s for you. #LivingOnTheVirg #Procrastination #MentalLoad #Overthinking #MidlifeConversations #RealLifeTalk #SelfAwareness #GetUnstuck #MindsetShift #LifeReflections #PodcastLife Follow up on YouTube!
