The Complexity of Personal Opinions in Artistic Appreciation

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.
