The Wisdom in Procrastination: Embodiment and Feminine Flow with Sarah Laverty

The Wisdom in Procrastination: Embodiment and Feminine Flow with Sarah Laverty

Author: Emmamma December 11, 2025 Duration: 1:01:13

In this episode, Emma is joined by embodiment coach Sarah Laverty, whose work helps women move out of their heads and back into the deep knowing of their bodies. Together they explore the surprising truth that procrastination isn’t a flaw or a failure of willpower — it’s a messenger offering guidance, boundaries, and information we’ve been taught to ignore.
Sarah shares how years of anxiety, OCD, and panic shaped her 20s and how discovering embodiment work completely transformed the way she relates to her body and her life. She breaks down why so many women feel stuck in cycles of procrastination and shame, how productivity culture disconnects us from our inner cues, and what becomes possible when we learn to trust our body’s signals instead of overriding them.
You’ll hear:
• how procrastination shows up somatically, not just mentally
• why the body often slows us down for reasons that make sense
• the procrastination archetypes Sarah has identified — and how to recognize your own
• what cyclical, non-linear working looks like in practice
• simple embodiment tools for moving from freeze back into flow
• how rebuilding self-trust creates unshakeable confidence in the long term
This conversation is a gentle, grounded invitation to soften the inner critic, listen deeper, and allow your body to participate in the decisions you’re making every day.
