đď¸ Episode Title: Why We Resist: Breaking Through the Barriers That Keep Us Stuck
In this solo episode of Man: A Quest to Find Meaning, James gets real about something most of us face but rarely talk aboutâresistance.
Whether itâs starting a new project, recording a podcast, or following through on a goal you care about, resistance has a way of creeping in. It can feel like procrastination, self-doubt, perfectionism, or just a lack of energyâand it stops us from doing the things we know weâre meant to do.
James shares his personal struggle with solo podcasting, revealing how fear, imposter syndrome, and the need to âget it rightâ almost kept him silent. But he also breaks down what heâs learning about pushing through, showing up anyway, and doing the work imperfectly.
In this episode, youâll learn:
- Why resistance is a universal part of the creative process
- How childhood experiences and limiting beliefs fuel self-doubt
- Why waiting for the perfect moment keeps you stuck
- Simple strategies to break down big goals and actually take action
- The power of changing your environment to spark momentum
- How to reconnect with joy and remove pressure so you can move forward
This is a raw, honest, and encouraging episode for anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed. If you're holding back on a dream, this might be exactly what you need to hear.
đ§ Listen in, take what lands, and start showing up for yourselfâeven if itâs just one small step at a time.
