Shameless Leadership

866: Embracing the Tension Between Magic and Discomfort


Listen Later

How are you at holding space for tension? The discomfort of tension in our lives can make us rush through a trying moment to get out of discomfort as quickly as possible.  

What would change for you if you could embrace discomfort and sit in it for a minute?

In this Greatest Hits episode, I talk about an interview with Oprah and Steven Pressfield for SuperSoul Sunday. They were talking about resistance - and that resistance MUST exist in all opportunities that provide growth, evolution, and magic.  

Steven said, “Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the life unlived within us. Between the two stands Resistance.” 

Wow, if that doesn’t speak to my soul.

I see so many Shameless Moms working to hold space for tension and practicing embracing the resistance. It is in these spaces that some of life’s most powerful lessons and moments come to exist. It is profound and life-altering.  

And I see Shameless Moms who feel the resistance and take it as a sign that something is not meant to be. 

Mama…. NO.  

I want you to lean into the resistance. See it. Embrace it. Own it. Walk through it. It will change you - in all the BEST ways.  

Listen in to hear me share the 3 phases of holding tension that will allow you to walk through resistance, find your power, and declare a magical VICTORY on the other side.
