Here's why resistance shows up right before things shift
|
Hi Reader, Have you ever wanted something deeply… and still found yourself hesitating or pulling back? You know what you want, you feel mentally ready, but then something inside you slows things down. We usually call that self-sabotage. But what if we look at it differently so that we can actually accomplish the things that we want. I wrote a new blog post exploring the difference between self-sabotage and protection and why your nervous system might just be doing its job when you hesitate or pull back. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with yourself for not moving faster or wondered why resistance shows up right before things shift, I think this will resonate.

To your next shift, P.S. This is the kind of thing we slow down and explore inside The Embodied Shift Method — noticing when your system pulls back, understanding why, and learning how to move forward in a way that feels supportive instead of forceful.

I've been thinking about it ever since. Brave doesn't have to be big. It doesn't have to look like quitting your job, moving across the country or finally...
Reader, Can I tell you something that nobody in the wellness space really talks about? You can do all the right things. The breathwork, the somatic tools, the nervous system practices. And still feel like your body won’t settle. There’s a reason for that. And it might not be what you think. I wrote a blog post this week that gets into exactly that. I have a feeling it’s going to hit home for you. Read this week’s blog post The Nervous System and Money Connection Nobody Talks About and come...
Reader, I didn’t write a blog post last week. Could I have? Absolutely.Do I have one ready to go? Yep.Could I have scheduled one in advance and checked the box? Also yes. But it didn’t feel aligned for me. Something I’ve noticed about the way I like to share is that most of my content comes from what I’m experiencing in the moment. When I try to force it ahead of time just to stay “consistent,” it starts to feel less real. Less connected. And last week, I was in the salon a lot. New salon...
