Resistance - When It's Protecting Us and When It's Preventing Our Growth

Resistance: The Hidden Gateway to Growth What if resistance isn't an obstacle, but an opportunity to understand ourselves more deeply? In this conversation, Lucia Lombardo is joined by Keady Phelan, ACC, Heart-Centered Leadership Coach, to explore resistance through the connection between mind, emotions, and body. Together, they discuss how resistance shows up physically, the beliefs and fears that may lie beneath it, and how somatic awareness can help us approach discomfort with curiosity rather than judgment. They also explore the relationship between resistance and intuition, how to distinguish fear from discernment, and practical ways to expand our capacity for change without pushing ourselves before we're ready. Through coaching experiences and personal reflections, Lucia and Keady discuss self-compassion, self-forgiveness, and the importance of taking action even when conditions aren't perfect. Sometimes the path to growth begins not by fighting resistance, but by learning to listen to it.
