In this vulnerable episode, Leah talks about the internal resistance that comes with growth and the three blocks that keep successful women feeling stuck: people-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-abandonment. She shares how to recognize the difference between fear-based thinking and authentic inner guidance.

✨ Key Takeaways From This Episode:

• Mental resistance often increases when approaching meaningful action or growth


• Three patterns create internal conflict: people-pleasing (conditioning vs. calling), perfectionism (external validation addiction), and self-abandonment (emotional invalidation)


• These patterns appear during difficult conversations, boundary-setting, or pursuing goals


• Two distinct internal voices operate: conditioning (prioritizes safety and familiarity) and authentic guidance (directs toward expansion)


• Conditioning-based thoughts include "I can't" or "I'm not ready"—authentic guidance sounds like "this feels right" or "I'm meant for this"


• Fear-based thoughts typically feel contractive; authentic guidance feels expansive


• Conditioning voices are often louder initially, while authentic guidance is quieter but persistent


• Resistance can signal proximity to growth rather than indication to stop


• The ability to recognize and choose between these internal voices distinguishes those who create change from those who remain in familiar patterns
