In this episode of Beneath the Surface I challenge the common coaching assumption that struggling to follow through automatically means “resistance” and I introduce a clearer framework of blocks, resistance, and fears. 

With rest (or lack of it) as an example, I unpack how understanding the root cause of our limitations can help us to shift our mentality and be more compassionate towards ourselves.

Timestamps:

01:30 – Blocks: external limits on rest

03:20 - Resistance: not seeing the benefit of rest

04:55 - Fears: knowing it helps but still can’t rest

07:55 - Compassion, courage, and origins of overworking/rest guilt
