Defying Resistance

You can read all the books. Do all the healing. Know exactly what needs to change. And still feel stuck. I’ve been a therapist for over 20 years. After grief cracked everything open, I left the U.S. and began a nomadic journey through 25+ countries. I thought I was starting over, but the patterns I hadn’t faced kept following me. Eventually, running turned into listening. Grief became growth. What felt like hesitation revealed something deeper, a part of me that didn’t feel ready yet. Now I help people who are tired of hesitating, overthinking, or holding back. Not because they don’t know what to do, but because something deeper still needs tending. What I share here helped me move forward when I didn’t think I could. Maybe it will meet you there too.

The world’s getting weirder—stay grounded ❤️

Embracing chaos might be the path to finding peace Rachel Hollis Hey Reader, The world feels like it’s spiraling into chaos—more backwards, more disconnected, more overwhelming with every passing day. Headlines scream of crises, people seem angrier than ever, and the pressure to make sense of it all is crushing. This relentless exposure to global suffering can leave us paralyzed, a state often referred to as humanity fatigue. As someone who began my career working in grassroots nonprofit...

Our assignment comes with the alignment. Too many people look for the assignment without first finding their alignment. Jim Hodges Hey Reader, Here’s the truth no one talks about: The calendar says it’s a new year, but nature says it’s not. 👀 January isn’t for pushing or blooming—it’s for resting, releasing, and preparing. Deep down, you know this. Look at nature. The trees aren’t rushing to bloom. The earth isn’t bursting with life just yet. It’s still letting go of the old, making space for...

Holding on is believing that there's only a past; letting go is knowing that there's a future. Daphne Rose Kingma Hey Reader, Pressure’s in the air, and I thought I’d say something about it. I don’t want you to finish this year strong. I want you to finish it light. Lighter than a feather, floating effortlessly to the ground. You’ve probably been hearing it all month: "Finish the year strong." "Push to the finish line." Everywhere you turn, someone’s telling you to sprint, to hustle, to end...

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein Hey Reader, As we settle deeper into autumn, November invites us to pause and reflect on the strength we’ve built along the way. It reminds us that life moves in cycles—seasons of growth, seasons of reflection, and seasons of stillness. These cycles teach us the importance of letting go, embracing rest, and preparing for new growth. It’s also a season to express gratitude—not just for the material...

You and your purpose in life are the same thing. Your purpose is to be you. George Alexiou Hey Reader, I know what I'm about to say might not make much sense; it might even sound a bit esoteric, especially for those who might still be struggling with overwhelming emotions of sadness, anxiety, stagnation, etc. But I thought I would address this because I get this question a lot: "How do I find my purpose?" Many of us can relate to this struggle because the journey towards finding "our purpose"...

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. Lao Tzu Hey Reader, Have you ever said this to yourself? “I don’t do that…” or “I can’t do that…” or “I’m too scared to do that…” or “I’m someone who…” Whether it's our anxieties, depression, or fears speaking on our behalf, we've adeptly convinced ourselves of our limitations to the extent that we've become excessively identified with them—creating self-imposed boundaries. When this...

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you – all of the expectations, all of the beliefs – and becoming who you are. Rabindranath Tagor Hey Reader, When you embark on a healing journey, the idea is to, at least at some point, begin to feel better, right? Well, that's what I thought. I want to tell you about the time I met this Shaman in Bali. It was a bit of an adventure. I'd almost given up on the idea of us ever connecting because I had...

Why are we here? That's the fundamental question that many of us spend our lifetimes answering. We try to find the answers in our relationships, in our children a parents, careers, and faith. Unfortunately, amid the asking, we don’t always position ourselves to fully hear what’s being asked of us. As a result, what we might hear is the cacophony from our external surroundings, which oftentimes is interpreted as a radio silence or like a prayer that has fallen on deaf ears. The seeker's path...

Hey Reader, What does this number represent: 400 trillion to one? Your birth. The odds of you being alive right now — or even reading this — are astronomical. This means the 400 trillion to one chance of you being born is unique. Let it also represent the uniqueness of what you're meant to do in this lifetime. It might be hard to believe at times that you can be filled with joy and ease, especially when you might be struggling with day-to-day stresses and situations with people that seem to...
