Today we circle back to the intention we shared in our Pilot Episode: sharing with vulnerability the truth that as coaches, we don't hold all of the answers. We peel back feelings of resistance behind a shared opportunity, as well as individual experiences within our separate lives.

In our follow-up conversation off script, we joked: "We are always elevating our lives with a commitment to do measurably hard things, and yet, here we are becoming paralyzed by a closet of clothes." These are the moments that humble us, infused with a playful willingness to laugh at seemingly silly glitches in our imperfect human experience.

True to our theme of resistance, it took several weeks to publish this episode. Hey, what can we say - sometimes we need a taste of our own medicine.

Resistance can show up in a variety of ways. It might look like self-doubt and self-imposed limitations. Perhaps it feels like fear and procrastination - as if your entire body is avoiding "eye contact" with life itself.

YOUR INVITATION:

Each episode, we invite you to go deeper. With today's episode, we invite you to get curious about areas in your life where you're procrastinating or avoiding. Grab a journal, boil a pot of tea, and let's dive in -

Does whatever I'm resisting feel like fear or trepidation?
What am I holding onto that I'm afraid to release?
Are my fears coming from a scarcity mindset? If yes, how can I shift the mental narrative to be more abundant?
Is what I'm resisting in alignment with my values, or is the resistance a sign that moving forward will move me out of integrity?

Enjoy, and feel free to reach out to either of us if you're seeking deeper support!
