In this episode of The Ambitious Procrastinator, I share a metaphor of surfing, to illustrate how we can navigate through life's challenges and opportunities. Drawing inspiration from observing surfers at Redondo Beach and watching the documentary series "100 Foot Wave," I discuss the importance of seizing opportunities, taking action, and having faith in ourselves.
In this show I compare our life to three choices that surfers make daily:
When to Ride the Wave: Just like surfers navigate the ocean, we too must learn to ride the waves of life. Whether it's seizing opportunities, taking action, or having faith in the unknown, we need to be willing to go for it and embrace the momentum.
When to Go Through the Wave: Going through challenges head-on is how we build our courage and resilience. Every time we face a wave, we stretch our confidence and grow stronger.
When to Wait for the Wave: Patience is a virtue, especially in a world of instant gratification. Sometimes we need to wait, sometimes we need to go through the wave, and sometimes we need to listen to our feelings and adjust our approach. It's all about mindset and being willing to get back up again, just like a surfer in the impact zone.

In this episode, Petra explores the importance of TRUST - especially when it comes to trusting ourselves and teaches us five ways to strengthen our beleif in ourselves.
She uses the acronym Truth, Respect, Understanding, Self-Awareness and Time to build her case for why this is such an important tool for you, and how to use it, as you create your best possible future.
Here are three key takeaways from the episode:
1️⃣ Trust in Yourself: Trusting yourself is about living out loud what you already know to be true. It's about believing in your abilities, strengths, and intuition. By trusting in yourself, you can take radical, beautiful, and unique actions that move your dreams into reality.
2️⃣ Self-Compassion and Understanding: Self-awareness and self-compassion are crucial components of trusting yourself. Understanding your feelings, respecting yourself, and treating yourself with kindness and respect are essential in building trust in yourself. It's about owning all the goodness inside of you and embracing your flaws with empathy and curiosity.
3️⃣ Time and Patience: Building trust in yourself takes time. It's a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and growth. As we navigate through life, it's important to remember that trusting yourself is a continuous process that requires patience and perseverance. Trusting in your worth, your future, and the universe's plan for you can lead to incredible outcomes.
Trusting yourself is a powerful tool that can propel you towards your dreams.

In this episode, we dive deep into the concepts of fixed mindset versus growth mindset, inspired by the work of Carol Dweck.
Here are three key takeaways from this episode that I believe can truly transform the way you approach your goals and dreams:
1️⃣ Mindset Matters: Your mindset shapes your reality. Whether you believe in a fixed mindset or a growth mindset can significantly impact how you approach challenges, setbacks, and opportunities in your life. By cultivating a growth mindset, you open yourself up to endless possibilities and growth.
2️⃣ Embrace Challenges: Challenges are not roadblocks; they are opportunities for growth. Instead of viewing obstacles as reasons to give up, see them as stepping stones towards your success. Embrace challenges with resilience, grit, and a can-do attitude, knowing that each hurdle is a chance to learn and evolve.
3️⃣ Feedback is Fuel: Feedback is not a personal attack; it's valuable information that can propel you forward. Embrace feedback as feedforward, using it to refine your skills, enhance your performance, and move closer to your best possible future. Learn from criticism, separate it from your identity, and let it fuel your growth.

In this week's episode of The Ambitious Procrastinator, I dive into the ABC's of turning negativity into possibility.
I introduce a simple framework:
A for activating event - the trigger
B for belief (particularly irrational beliefs)
C for consequences
And then I talk about the important reframe. Learning to question the belief instead of questioning yourself and in turn how to create the freedom that comes when we exchange the negative emotions of our past with the positive emotions for our best possible future.
I share a personal example of an activating event from my past, as I guide you to identify your own triggers, irrational beliefs, and consequences. And by bringing awareness to yourself and your surroundings you will be able to exchange the negative emotions for positive ones, as you learn to shift your perspective and approach these events with confidence and optimism.

In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of perfectionism and its relationship with procrastination.
Here are three key takeaways from this thought-provoking episode:
1️⃣ Perfectionism can be both a friend and a foe: Perfectionism is not inherently bad. In fact, it can drive us to excel and go above and beyond. However, when perfectionism becomes an oppressive force, it can hold us back and prevent us from taking action. It's important to identify the areas of our lives where perfectionism serves us and where it hinders our progress.
2️⃣ Embrace the Land of And: The Land of And is a magical place where we can find balance between perfectionism and procrastination. It's the opposite of the Land of Or, where we are forced to choose between extremes. In the Land of And, we allow ourselves to have both perfect moments and moments of disappointment. By embracing this mindset, we can move forward with our ambitions while also giving ourselves grace and room for growth.
3️⃣ Give yourself permission to be human: Perfectionism often stems from a fear of making mistakes or not meeting our own high standards. But it's important to remember that we are only human, and it's okay to have flaws and make errors along the way. By letting go of the need for perfection, we can experience more joy, celebrate our wins, and continue moving forward even when things don't go as planned.

In this episode, I dive into the four roadblocks that often hinder us from taking action and achieving our goals: clarity, consistency, confidence, and comparison. Inspired by a social media post I made about the "Four Cs of Procrastination," I explore each of these obstacles and provide practical strategies to overcome them.
I begin by discussing the importance of clarity in goal-setting. Many people know what they want to achieve but struggle with determining the first step. To overcome this, I suggest reverse engineering your goal. By starting with the end in mind and working backward, you can break down your goal into manageable steps, making it easier to take action.
Next, I address the need for consistency in pursuing our goals. I share my personal struggle with financial procrastination and the importance of consistently taking small steps towards financial responsibility. Whether it's setting up automatic deposits or investing regularly, I highlight the significance of staying consistent in our actions.
Moving on to the topic of confidence, I discuss how it can often be a roadblock to taking action. I share my own experience of feeling hesitant to ask for help with my finances due to shame and a lack of knowledge. However, I emphasize that confidence is not a prerequisite for action. Instead, I encourage listeners to take action first and build confidence through competence. I introduce the concept of the "circle of confidence," where we continuously iterate and improve upon our initial actions.
Lastly, I address the detrimental habit of comparison. I caution against comparing ourselves to others, as it can rob us of joy and hinder our progress. While it's important to learn from and be inspired by others, I emphasize the need to stay in our own lane and focus on our own journey.
Join me in this episode as we tackle the four Cs of procrastination and empower ourselves to take action and achieve our goals.

In this episode of The Ambitious Procrastinator, I dive into the art of procrastination and how it holds us back from achieving our dreams. Tune in as I share 5 powerful reframes to help you overcome common self-doubts and start betting on yourself. Here's a recap of the key takeaways:
1️⃣ "I bet they will judge me." Reframe: "Today, I believe that my work is worth sharing and I'm not concerned about the opinions of others, especially strangers on the internet."
2️⃣ "I bet I'm going to fail." Reframe: "I believe I am willing to show up for myself and learn all the tips and tools I need to move my message forward."
3️⃣ "I bet it's too hard for me." Reframe: "I believe I have the resources to learn and I am not afraid to ask for help."
4️⃣ "I bet it won't be worth it." Reframe: "I believe it is going to help someone else, even if it's just one person."
5️⃣ "I bet this has already been done before and better than I could do it." Reframe: "I believe in my unique perspective and the value I bring to the table."
Remember, it's time to bet on yourself, believe in yourself, and stack the odds in your favor. Don't let procrastination hold you back from achieving your dreams!

This catch-up episode comes to you from Paris, France. Part one, of two episodes that were recorded just before, and right after the first heatwave of 2022 hit Europe.
Travels can teach us so much, about ourselves, about life, and about our blind spots. It is my hope that this episode will give you some tools to use, the next time you find yourself wondering if you need to push through or make a pivot.
Just like a GPS navigation system, life rarely comes at us in a straight line.

In this solo episode I talk about the difference between getting lost versus feeling lost. When we are traveling and lose our way, we can always pull on outside sources such as a GPS or kind stranger to help us find our way home. However when we "feel" lost, the only person who can reconnect us back to our center - is us.
In this show I share the three red threads that always pull me away from the home of my heart, and the five pillars from Positive Psychology that can help us all move out of our head and guide us back to a life of meaning and possibility.

This weeks solo show comes from the gorgeous town of Redondela, Spain.
I have been thinking a lot lately about the power of choice. The seemingly small decisions we are asked to make daily, which when compounded over time will shape our future in monumental ways.
What do we say "yes" to and why? And what do we need say "no" to, so that we can leave room for our "heck Yes!" to enter?
