Episode 49- My Conversation with Jobert E. Abueva about The Janus Plan: Beating the Procrastination Trap.

Author: Goddess Asha Mariama September 12, 2026 Duration: 1:18:34
In this episode, I had a conversation with Jobert E. Abueva about The Janus Plan: Beating the Procrastination Trap. We spoke about procrastination traps that keep people from reaching their goals, moving on from negative situations, overcoming low self-esteem, self-love, self-respect, self-worth, self-value, self-confidence, and believing in yourself when no one else does, and lowering yourselves to build other people up. When many people think about procrastination, they think about people who are lazy and have no inspiration. He breaks down the Janus Plan when it comes to beating the procrastination traps that are keeping you from reaching your goals and the path, purpose, and journey that you are meant to be on. He spoke on mindful cleansing & global rituals when it comes to detoxing the mind from the past and things that are keeping you stagnant, stuff, and procrastination. We spoke on why people's New Year's resolutions are broken by February. How to go about overcoming fear and insecurities that keep you procrastinating and quitting? How can our relationship with our parents be the cause of not doing the things that you can actually do, due to making you feel less than what you are, and breaking your self-esteem and self-worth? A little about Jobert E. Abueva: he is an MBA, TEDx speaker ("Beyond Resolutions: The Art of Beginning with Intention"), and award-winning author whose work has appeared in The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer. Jobert is warm, articulate, and deeply relatable. Instead, he developed a flexible, 6-step framework—inspired by Janus, the two-faced Roman god of thresholds and transitions—to help people reflect on the past, clear mental and physical clutter, and build sustainable life momentum without punitive pressure.This was a great conversation, and hopefully there will be a second conversation coming soon. I hope you guys enjoy the episode.

Hosted by Goddess Asha Mariama, African Melanin Queens is a space dedicated to the affirmation and holistic elevation of Black women. This podcast directly confronts the damaging narratives that suggest independent women, single mothers, or those deemed average or unattractive by societal standards are not worthy of high-value partnerships or self-love. Each episode serves as a counter-narrative, weaving together discussions on culture, mental fortitude, and physical well-being to reinforce a core truth: you are inherently enough. The conversation extends beyond mere encouragement, delving into practical education and self-improvement strategies that honor the full spectrum of the Black female experience. Listeners will find a blend of personal reflection, cultural analysis, and actionable advice on health and fitness, all framed within a context of societal awareness. It’s a gathering for those seeking to reclaim their narrative and find strength in community. Tune in for honest dialogue that celebrates beauty in all its forms-flaws, imperfections, and past mistakes included-while building a foundation for unshakable confidence and continued growth. This is where the journey back to self, in all its powerful and multifaceted glory, truly begins.
