In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Coach Lori Anne De Iulio Casdia, Coach & Strategist and the founder of LDC Strategies. Coach Lori Anne offers a powerful and relatable framework for breaking free from procrastination, embracing your unique gifts, and taking meaningful action toward your personal and professional goals. Her advice blends actionable strategies, mindset shifts, and real-life examples to help listeners navigate chaos with clarity and courage.

Stepping Into Action with Clarity and Confidence

Coach Lori Anne opens the conversation with a personal story about learning to ride a motorcycle—an act that became a metaphor for facing fear and moving forward. She emphasizes that fear is often a signal of growth, and taking the first step (no matter how small) is the key to overcoming inertia. From visualizing success to setting public intentions, she lays out simple yet effective ways to gain momentum.

She also speaks about the importance of uncovering and celebrating your unique gifts, rather than conforming to outside expectations. Lori Anne encourages listeners to focus on their strengths, seek feedback, and let go of comparison. Authenticity, she says, is what attracts the right opportunities and people.

From there, she dives into the psychology of procrastination, calling out the “Super Bowl Syndrome” of jumping from task to task without finishing any. Through small deadlines, single-tasking, and accountability tracking, she provides practical tools to stop procrastinating and start progressing. Her insights are a masterclass in aligning your priorities and energy with your long-term goals.
