In this episode of Noodles in the Sandbox, we dive into the second of our monster mini-series: the Resistance Monster. Resistance shows up when you know exactly what you should be doing but choose to avoid it. We explore how this monster creeps into our lives, why we resist, and what secret weapons can help us take that first crucial step toward defeating it. From procrastination and apathy to the power of small steps and finding your "why," this episode is packed with tips to help you move past resistance and get things done. If you’ve ever found yourself working hard to avoid work, this episode is for you!
