Send us a text Fear of the future is eating our girls alive. It hides behind slammed doors, endless scrolling, half-finished work, and the shrug that says, “I don’t care.” But underneath procrastination and perfectionism is the same raw truth: she’s terrified of failing, of disappointing, of not being enough or of letting you down. In this episode of The Teen Whisperer, I unpack why procrastination and perfectionism go hand in hand - especially in the shadow of any kind of results.
