Show Notes
Throwing it back to one of our most downloaded episodes which dove into the shame of PROCRASTINATION.
In this episode, we reflect on the journey of creating the podcast—how long it really took to get here, the habits that once held us back, and how we freed ourselves of paralyzing indecison and self-judgment.
What we hope you take away from this episode is that procrastination IS NOT laziness—it’s fear. So if you've been struggling to make progress or momentum, this conversation will help you see that procrastination is often a misguided attempt to protect you from disappointment and help you heal it.
Highlights:
-The backstory behind Spiraling Higher and the role procrastination played -Why procrastination isn’t a flaw but a form of self-protection -How to break the cycle of shame and fear around “not doing enough” -Strategies to feel safer taking imperfect action
If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination, this episode will make you feel seen, understood, and empowered to take your next step.

People pleasing, or authenticity suppression as we like to call it, is a natural adaptive mechanism humans have used for centuries to attain approval, acceptance, and ultimately, safety. While in conscious, small doses this social mirroring can help us feel connected and related to others, it can also begin to erase our sense of self and our confidence if used too much.
We can't believe it's been 3 years now since we decided to go ALL IN on the podcast. There’s been SO much healing, re-learning and letting go in these past 3 years and somehow it’s possible to sum up the hardest, most valuable lessons we have gained on our journeys together.
We are throwing it back to the incredible in-person conversation we had with Danielle LaPorte, where we explored a question so many of us face on our healing journey: When is enough, enough?
We're throwing it back to this transformational episode with coach Xavier Dagba about the "dark night of the soul." Xavier shares his raw journey—disappointing his parents, dropping out of school (on a full scholarship!), and even facing homelessness—before finally stepping into his true gifts.
