Ep. 015: Series: Create Your Most Beautiful Life 12 Weeks at a Time– Part Three: Showing Up for Yourself
🛤 What if resistance wasn’t a sign you’re failing—but proof you’re becoming?
In this episode of Your Most Beautiful Life, we’re stepping into the most transformational part of the journey: showing up for yourself.
This is Part Three of our four-part series, Create Your Most Beautiful Life – 12 Weeks at a Time, and it’s where we move from desire and planning into the actual work of follow-through.
Because the truth is—this part feels hard not because you're doing it wrong, but because you're doing something real.
🎯 You’ll learn:
• Why the moment you start living your plan often brings unexpected resistance
• What the 50/50 life really means—and how it frees you from perfectionism
• How to name, sit with, and move through discomfort without letting it derail you
• Why buffering and avoidance are normal responses—and what to do instead
• How small, faithful steps shape who you're becoming—especially when no one is watching

“The resistance you’re feeling? It doesn’t mean you got it wrong. It means you’re on the path.”
“This is resistance. This is the tension of becoming.”
“Not the place where I lost my way—but where I had to walk through everything that stood in the way.”
“You’re not doing this to prove something. You’re doing it because something matters.”
“There’s no version of your most beautiful life where everything is smooth, convenient, and challenge-free.”
“You don’t become her by avoiding the hard. You become her by walking through it—with grace, grit, and a vision that’s stronger than your fear.”
“Your most beautiful life isn’t some far-off someday. It’s being shaped in how you show up today.”
