Episode 336: The 3 P's of Procrastination

Uncategorized May 14, 2025

Episode Summary:

Feeling stuck? You are so not alone. In this episode, I’m diving into one of the biggest roadblocks I see actors (and creatives of all kinds) face: procrastination.

I’m breaking down my signature framework—the **3 P's: Perfectionism, Procrastination, and Paralysis—**and showing you how procrastination is often just fear wearing a clever disguise.

I’ll help you reframe your stuck-ness, understand what’s really going on underneath the delay, and—most importantly—take messy, imperfect, courageous action.

And yes, I’m also sharing how the energy behind procrastination doesn’t just slow you down…it actually blocks your creativity, your confidence, and even your opportunities.

Whether you’re stuck in your acting career, your voiceover hustle, or anywhere in life where you’re overthinking and under-doing—this episode is here to help you shift into action mode.

What I cover in this episode:

  • How perfectionism leads to procrastination…and then straight into paralysis.

  • Why procrastination is really fear in disguise (and how to spot it).

  • Fear of failure vs. fear of success—what’s really holding you back.

  • Why you don’t need to feel ready (you just need to act).

  • How procrastination sends out the wrong energetic signal to the universe.

  • The simple truth: Clarity comes from commitment, not contemplation.

My Favorite Quotes from this Episode:

"Procrastination is fear in disguise."
"Your desire for your dream needs to be bigger than your fear."
"You can act your way into right thinking."
