Why you're *lazy* and how to stop

from Half Bloom · host Nadia Park

Are we actually lazy—or do we just lack a reason to move? In this episode, I unpack the real causes behind so-called “laziness,” from perfectionism and fear of failure to losing sight of your ‘why.’ I share personal stories from my coffee journey, lessons from my dad’s work ethic, and how play, experimentation, and self-acceptance can reignite your drive. Plus, I leave you with 4 questions to help you understand your own motivation and start finding it again.And also, here's the link to my newsletter that will be coming soon!https://nadiaxcoffee.beehiiv.com/_____________________I hope you can find the segments we go through to ignite some sort of softness, playfulness, hopefulness, and kindness in our lives.Timestamps:0:00 intro0:37 coffee of the day: colombia finca la pradera ginger ale1:38 story on laziness + why you may not be "lazy" 7:08 two excuses that we use to warrant the lack of desire/motivation13:07 find your desire and discipline through asking questions15:22 opportunities over passion18:43 the positive mindset: find comfort in yourself21:19 leaving questions_____________________See you all next week!for happiness, alwaysSincerely, NadiaListen to my podcast 🎤RSS feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2500904.rssApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/half-bloom/id1814881168Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4G80fRB2kH3OtJzdrkboOJLet's be friends ^^Instagram: instagram.com/nadiaxcoffeeYouTube: youtube.com/@UCeLi0U-aR3yZBZNnOLA2Teg for happiness, alwaysSincerely, NadiaFind me on other socials ^^Instagram: [www.instagram.com/nadiaxcoffee](http://www.instagram.com/nadiaxcoffee)Substack: https://nadiaxcoffee.substack.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nadiaxcoffeeAnd also, here's the link to subscribe to my newsletter!https://nadiaxcoffee.beehiiv.com/for happiness, alwaysSincerely, Nadia

Empowered by Darkness Andrea Medina Hi, I’m Andrea Medina. Though I’m in my early 20s, the history of relational trauma in my family lineage coupled with my own father’s abuse and abandonment, has instilled in me a self-awareness and sensitivity to emotions from a young age. I was born in México and raised in Compton, a community where I didn’t have many mentors or influences that pointed me in the direction of emotional healing work. Still, I went on to publish The Energized Self: A Journey to Interconnected Healing, a book that is half memoir and half conversations with trauma survivors at the age of 22. This same year I began my public speaking journey and my master’s program to become a Marriage and Family Therapist.As I find myself rising to fulfill my soul’s calling today, I am still in the same location where conversations like the ones had in this podcast aren’t common. I’m also faced with a myriad of economic and social challenges that I know listeners will relate to. My goal is that STORROR Podcast STORROR STORROR are a group of seven English lads who have spent half their lives doing parkour. This podcast aims to host some of the best conversations, information, news, punditry and general BS surrounding the parkour world.

The Conservative Review with Daniel Horowitz is here to help you cut through the rhetoric and noise and explore the politically right way to think about the issues .
