Ever wonder why you keep putting off that important business task - not because you don’t care, but because of the avoidance emotions and roadblocks in your business?

You know the feeling. Those avoidance emotions take over, and every time you try to start a task, plan your schedule, or make a decision, your body rebels. Your mind goes blank. You walk away feeling guilty and frustrated, wondering what’s wrong with you.

Here’s the truth: It’s not a motivation problem. It’s avoidance.

Welcome to Emotions Behind the Schedule Series | Part 5: Avoidance

In this powerful episode, we’re diving deep into one of the most misunderstood patterns in work from home entrepreneurship. You’ll discover why your brain and body team up to shut you down around planning, execution, and business visibility - and more importantly, how to gently re-engage without the guilt or hustle mentality.

What you’ll learn:

• The fascinating neuroscience behind why willpower fails when avoidance kicks in and brain-based strategies that work with your natural wiring instead of against it
• Five different types of business avoidance (and which one matches your pattern)
• Why your “protective brain” sees your business tasks as threats
• The gentle 3-step system to create safety around your business again and rebuild business momentum without burning out
• Ways to get time back by working with your avoidance patterns instead of fighting them
