Untangling ourselves from the cycle of procrastination

In this episode of the Dear Creative Mind podcast, we dive deep
into the all-too-familiar cycle of procrastination. We explore
the emotional roots behind procrastination—how it's not laziness,
but often a response to fear, perfectionism, and overwhelm.
Instead of just looking for quick fixes, we’re getting curious
about what’s really going on under the surface. What’s driving us
to avoid certain things? How can we understand it better and
shift our relationship with it? Let’s stay curious and get closer
to this pattern of stop-and-go, so we can release the important
work we’re holding back and finally share it with the world.





About me


Pascale Côté is a creativity guide, therapeutic arts
practitioner, artist, and writer who helps creatives meet,
understand, and express themselves by guiding them to work *with*
their (creative, complex, unconventional) nature instead of
against it. She helps artists, visionaries, disruptors and earth
stewards break free from the vortex of overthinking and move
forward with their bold, rebellious ideas. Her work challenges
conventional norms, inviting creatives to explore what’s possible
when they release outdated narratives and embrace their true,
authentic expression. Pascale believes that art is a powerful
vehicle for both individual and collective change when it’s
grounded in truth—created outside the rigid systems that stifle
our creative spirit.





About the podcast


Creative minds are the architects of a new world, and their art
holds the keys to reimagining our reality. The challenge is,
creative minds often spend just as much time crafting
self-limiting narratives as they do creating their art. Dear
Creative Mind is a space for creative liberation—a pathway out of
the cycle of overthinking, burnout, and stagnation. This podcast
is for artists & creative entrepreneurs where Pascale,
creativity guide, shares grounding meditations, gentle coaching
guidance and heartfelt conversations with inspiring artists. The
podcast explores the real challenges that come with being
creative—overthinking, self-doubt, burnout—and how to navigate
them while staying true to our vision.
