Why You’re Not Lazy: The Truth About Procrastination with Dr Patricia Zurita Ona (Part 1)

If you've got a pile of half-finished projects, an inbox full of “start laters,” or a dream you keep pushing aside — this episode is for you. Psychologist and clinical hypnotherapist Dr Patricia Zurita Ona (aka Dr Z) joins Jodi to dive deep into a misunderstood topic: anxious, overwhelmed, perfectionistic procrastination.

This is not about being lazy or unmotivated. This is about the emotional and psychological loops that keep you stuck — even when you really care about getting things done.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How “rules,” feelings, and self-doubt keep us from starting
•  Why procrastination is often a sign of anxiety, not apathy
• Why compassion, not criticism, is key to moving forward
• 3 of Dr Z’s 6 powerful reflection questions to understand your own procrastination patterns

This conversation is grounded, practical, and full of “a-ha” moments that’ll have you rethinking the way you treat yourself when you’re stuck. And don’t worry, next week we’ll pick up right where we left off.

🧠 Based on Dr Z’s brilliant new book The ACT Workbook for the Anxious Procrastinator - a must-read if you want to stop delaying and start doing what matters most.
