Ep. 36 ‣ Embracing Resistance: Why What We Avoid Holds the Most Growth
Welcome to the 3-Part Series:
“Navigating the Unknown: Intuition, Resistance, and Growth”
Welcome, listeners, to a special 3-part series on The Dang Good Show where we’re diving into something we all encounter but often struggle to understand—those gut feelings, inner nudges, and moments of resistance that come up on our journey through life. This series, “Navigating the Unknown: Intuition, Resistance, and Growth,” is all about exploring the parts of ourselves that guide us—even when we might not realize it.
In each episode, we’ll break down different aspects of intuition and resistance, looking at why we sometimes resist the things that are ultimately best for us, and how learning to tune into our intuition can lead us to unexpected growth. We’ll discuss real-life examples, personal stories, and tips for recognizing these signals in your own life.
In Episode 35, “Trusting the Gut: How Intuition Guides Us to Growth,” we’ll talk about what it means to listen to your inner voice and how connecting with your intuition can reveal new paths and possibilities.
Episode 36, “Embracing Resistance: Why What We Avoid Holds the Most Growth,” takes a look at why we push back against change or challenges, and how, by embracing what we resist, we can unlock some of our most significant growth.
Finally, in Episode 37, “Intuition vs. Logic: Finding the Balance in Big Decisions,” we’ll explore the interplay between intuition and logic—learning how to use both in making decisions that feel right and lead us to a more fulfilling life.
This series is all about empowering you to trust yourself, embrace the unknown, and see resistance as an opportunity.
