E13: Overcoming Resistance—Finding Flow in Challenging Times

In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of resistance and explore how it shows up in our lives, often when we’re on the verge of significant growth. Resistance is something most of us experience, but what if we could start seeing it not as a roadblock but as an opportunity for growth and thriving?

We begin by understanding resistance: that internal tension when facing something hard or unfamiliar. Whether it’s fear, misalignment, or limiting beliefs, resistance is often a signal pointing us toward the next step. It’s not something to fight against but rather something to lean into with compassion.

I also share a personal story of resistance from my own life, where fear of failure and inadequacy kept me stuck. By taking small steps, challenging my fears, and moving forward despite the resistance, I eventually found my flow and purpose again.

In this episode, I provide three journaling prompts to help you move through resistance:

1. What is my resistance trying to tell me right now?—Reflect on what’s behind your resistance.
2. What’s one small step I can take to work with my resistance instead of against it?—Focus on actionable steps, no matter how small.
3. Is this resistance protecting me, or is it holding me back?—Consider whether your resistance is keeping you safe or limiting your growth.

Remember, resistance is not the end but an invitation to pause, reflect, and take small, mindful steps toward flow. We are all moving through it together, and the water is waiting.
