Overcoming Resistance: Finding Your True Calling in a World of Distractions — Alyson and Tripp Lanier

Do obstacles mean you’re on the wrong path, or are they simply part of the journey?

Is the universe conspiring against your dreams, or is it just your own fear holding you back?

And what can you do if you’re struggling to find motivation or inspiration?

Whether you’re questioning your career path, second-guessing a major life decision, or simply feeling stuck, you’re bound to experience doubt and resistance. In this episode, we discuss finding your calling, facing inner resistance, and the fear that we might be heading in the wrong direction. And we also explore ways to keep moving forward, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

In this conversation:

  • Navigating career changes and uncovering your life’s mission
  • Recognizing the signs that you’re on the right path
  • The hero’s journey: Embracing trials and challenges
  • Battling the “small self” to embrace your soul’s work
  • Understanding resistance: Is it a test or a sign to change course?

Plus:
