Resistance Sucks but it’s Necessary,
Here’s Why
In this episode, I discuss the concept of resistance and its impact on productivity and personal growth. Despite not feeling up to recording today, I felt it was important to address this common challenge.
Resistance affects us all and can hinder our progress, but it also offers opportunities for growth. I share my own struggles with balancing responsibilities as a parent and business owner, especially with my kids on a year-round school schedule. I explain my Accountability Code, which includes six steps: reflection, humility, planning, implementing, commitment, and feedback.
Each step involves dealing with resistance in different ways, and I offer practical tips to overcome these obstacles.

In this episode, I talk about the struggle of balancing “waking up” and “showing up.” Waking up is the thinking, reflecting, and planning part of life, while showing up is taking action and doing the work. I share that many of us feel stuck doing too much of one and not enough of the other, especially when life feels chaotic. I explain that this tension is normal and something we all face. The goal is not perfection, but alignment, making sure our thoughts, values, and actions work together.
