My most recent podcast, Your Powerful Placebo, was inspired by an episode of the How I Built This Podcast. Admittedly, I’m a HIBT groupie. After listening to almost all of the episodes, the overarching themes that resonate with me include:

• There are an infinite number of ways to create.

• Anything is possible.

• Failure and success are one and the same.

I write to you from my cozy cabin: wood fire crackling away, nestled up on the couch with a cup of coffee by my side, pausing to watch huge fluffy snowflakes, illuminated by our yard light, fall abundantly from the black sky. They drift to earth so quietly, and gently; it’s almost too mesmerizing to look away!

I’ve just finished my morning journaling with my Inner Being, and I received revolutionary guidance and new perspectives about my desire to create an easy, flowy menopause transition. How beautiful and aligned it is to watch the easy, flowy snowflakes and know that this is the reality I am creating for my body’s transition. I can’t wait to share more of that entry in the future, but for now, I’d like to ask:

I’ve just returned from the incredible Live Your Truth 2024 retreat held in the gorgeous beyond belief home of Christine and absolutely full of women I love so much! I feel that Ginny and I will do a podcast episode about this for Awaken Your Truth, so I won’t share too much, except for one specific opening exercise. I realize that what I am about to say will probably prevent anyone new from ever wanting to attend a retreat, haha, but here goes.

We were sitting in a circle and Ginny asked everyone to fill in the blank. “I am afraid for everyone to know that …”. We were going to go around the circle and say our fears out loud! Immediately we could feel the energy in the room shift to panic.

The other morning I was completing a Yoga Glo class and I had the awareness that I was lost in thoughts about how annoying it is that traveling from Alaska often involves flying a red eye. My next thought was, “Wow, you are really in resistance!”

A moment later the Yoga Glo instructor cheerfully announced, “Create your own resistance!” and I couldn’t help but laugh at the coincidence, which then led to this topic inspiration.

Let me ask you, are you creating your own resistance?

And now I will answer for you. If you feel resistance, then, yes, you are.
