Stop Drinking and Start Living- The Feminine Way

Relaxation Resistance


Listen Later

Let’s talk about something so many high-achieving women struggle with: relaxation resistance. That underlying belief that if you relax, everything will fall apart. That if you slow down, you're lazy. That your worth is tied to your productivity.

This week, we’re unraveling the deep-seated patterns that keep you stuck in fight-or-flight mode, constantly "doing" instead of simply "being." Because the truth is:

💡 You don’t fall apart when things get hard. You rise.
💡 The real challenge is learning to soften when life is good.
💡 Your worth is NOT measured by how much you get done.

In this episode, we’ll break down:

Why you resist relaxation and what’s really behind it
How busyness and stress addiction keep you disconnected from pleasure
The power of intentionally softening & creating safety in rest
How to shift from exhaustion to luxurious spaciousness—without guilt
Why “I don’t have time” is a lie & how to own your choices

It's time to stop proving your worth through over-functioning and start living in your feminine power.

👂 Let’s keep the conversation going! What landed for you in this episode? How do you resist relaxation? Slip into my DMs on Instagram—I’d love to hear from you!
