It’s not a matter of IF you experience Resistance, it’s a matter of how, when, and most importantly, the ways you navigate it when it comes for you. Personally, I’ve procrastinated my way to tens of thousands in tax debt, binged netflix till my eyes were burning and shot my adrenals chasing shadow priorities.
Everyone bumps up against Resistance. We all have to contend with it. Resistance is natural and normal and can also be debilitating, keeping you from what you care most about. Resistance can crush your dreams, sabotage your relationships, fan the flames of your fears and tell the most horrendous stories about who you are and what you’re capable of.
And, for better or for worse, Resistance comes with wisdom. A wisdom that, if you can learn to listen to and be in right relationship with, can illuminate a path forward that will liberate you from its constraints.
Are any of these Voices of Resistance familiar to you?
Navigating Resistance is a self-paced course that takes a compassionate, nuanced and personalized approach to facing and freeing yourself from the patterns and voices that hold you back.
In this course, I will lead you to:
- Explore your unique Resistance Patterning and the ways it reinforces and strengthens itself.
- Uncover the hidden gifts, wisdom and purpose of the Resistance characters that arise, no matter what the context, and even when it seems like they’re all bad.
- Understand and pinpoint the exact moments that trigger your most challenging Resistance voices, beliefs and behaviours.
- Develop a highly personalized, in-the-moment practice to face, work with and navigate your way out of an entrenched Resistance Pattern.
- Experience the freedom to make new moves from a sovereign place and create the changes you’re seeking with self compassion and power.

Practice with the methods and content in curious, evocative ways.
Set a clear intention to direct you through all the way to the end of the course.
Session 2

You will:
Unearth and become more intimate with the felt sense of resisting reality.
Gain tools and moves that support deeper inquiry and clearer seeing.
Know yourself more honestly and directly, even if you’ve done every ‘self-awareness/limiting belief’ exercise in the wisdow-tainment industry.
Session 3
Nature of Resistance
What is resistance? Why is it showing up -- again? What is it here to ensure?
This Session shines light in places where you’ll be like “how have I not seen this before?” and then be like “oh right, that’s what resistance does, hides things from our view”.

You will:
Fall into a well of compassion and understanding for yourself and your limits
