We all do it — telling ourselves little lies that feel like reasons but are really excuses. “I’ll get to it tomorrow.” “I don’t want to sound too salesy.” “I don’t have the time.”
Sound familiar?
In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we dig into the excuses we tell ourselves (and others), how they show up as patterns, and why they quietly sabotage your business and life.
From subtle procrastination habits to full-on victim mentality, we explore:
The fine line between a reason and an excuse (and how one can morph into the other).
Why excuses often become ingrained patterns and part of your identity.
Common lies entrepreneurs repeat — “I need to update my website again,” “Nobody’s buying right now,” “I’ll be more consistent once ___.”
The role fear, imposter syndrome, and avoidance play in keeping you stuck.
Why admitting you are the problem is actually the most empowering truth.
How to take a critical eye to your own patterns and start rewriting the story you’ve been telling yourself.
This week’s challenge: Identify ONE excuse or lie you keep telling yourself. Call it out. Then take one small action to break that pattern.
Remember, the only person you’re lying to is yourself. And the good news? You’re also the solution.
