About This Webinar
Procrastination isn't laziness — it's emotion regulation. This workshop with Andrea Cruz, LMFT and Daniel Olexa, MCC explores the nervous system patterns behind avoidance: what triggers fight, flight, and freeze responses, what makes us feel safe, and how to move from self-criticism to self-awareness to self-acceptance. You'll learn why your brain prioritizes short-term mood repair over your long-term goals — and walk away with practical strategies to break the cycle.
Master procrastination busting techniques with expert guidance. We will be answering the following questions:
*Have you ever wanted something so badly for yourself but didn't feel ready or adequate to do it?
*Have you made excuses, avoided starting something, and put off your dream project for far too long…?
*What's keeping you from doing it?
That's what we are going to be solving over the course of this 90 minute free webinar. We will work with you to master the steps and build a guide of success no matter what your goal is. If you're having a problem that is keeping you from being successful whether it's work, a relationship, time management, overwhelmed, stressed, burned out, avoidance, etc., it's time to work through it and try a different approach.
If you're experiencing: Failure to Launch Fear of Success Fear of Failure Procrastination versus Doing the work. It's time...
We are hosting a free webinar to help you solve this problem and would like to give you tools for greater self-mastery.
Andrea Cruz, LMFT and Daniel Olexa CIHt, MCC, we strive to provide expert-led webinars focused on understanding the reasons behind procrastination and offering actionable strategies to build healthier habits. Our sessions address topics like motivation, stress management, and anxiety reduction, guiding you toward achieving your goals with increased focus and efficiency. Join us to unlock your potential and find the path to success. When you register you will receive a free workbook before attending the webinar.
Is This You?
You Know Something Needs to Change
If any of these feel painfully familiar, this webinar was made for you.
You voluntarily delay tasks you intend to do — despite expecting negative consequences
You're stuck between fear of failure (perfectionism, self-doubt, imposter syndrome) and fear of success (doubting your potential, fearing judgment)
Chronic delay has increased your stress, guilt, and eroded your self-trust
You've missed opportunities and feel trapped in a cycle of avoidance and shame
Your attention and energy are drained — too many directions, too many browser tabs open, no closure
You know you could do more but can't stop the pattern of overwhelm and paralysis
If you checked even one of those boxes, you're in the right place.
What You'll Walk Away With
90 Minutes That Could Change Everything
This isn't a lecture. It's a conversation with practitioners who understand what you're going through.
The Brain Science of Avoidance
Understand why procrastination is linked to emotional discomfort — your brain prioritizes short-term mood repair, and avoidance temporarily reduces anxiety. It's not a character flaw.
Fear of Failure vs. Fear of Success
Identify which emotional driver is keeping you stuck — perfectionism, overwhelm, imposter syndrome, or the fear of losing friends and facing judgment if you succeed.
From Self-Criticism to Self-Acceptance
Learn to reframe 'I'm lazy' into 'Something about this feels threatening or overwhelming.' Curiosity interrupts shame — and opens the door to forward motion.
Practical Strategies That Actually Work
Break tasks into smaller steps, use the 10-minute start rule, reduce perfectionistic standards, and pair action with self-compassion. Progress over perfection.
Your Personalized Launch Plan
Leave with a concrete plan for building momentum through small, consistent steps that rewire the avoidance habit loop — plus access to group therapy for ongoing support.
Plus: Go Deeper
For those ready for sustained transformation, we'll introduce our 4-8 week group therapy programs starting the week after the webinar. Starting at $260/person.
