In this soul-stirring episode of Collective Guidance, host Charla Goodnight explores the spiritual and psychological concept of resistance — and why the things we fight hardest against keep showing up in our lives.

Drawing from her own lived experience with physical pain, a relationship ending, and the pressure of performing "having it all together," Charla unpacks what resistance truly is, why we do it, and most importantly — how to release it.

What you'll take away from this episode:

• The real definition of resistance (beyond procrastination and fear)
• How numbing, toxic positivity, and obsessive planning are all forms of resistance
• The ego's role as protector — and why it keeps you stuck
• Carl Jung's shadow self concept and how unprocessed emotions live in the body
• Karmic lessons and why patterns repeat across relationships, jobs, and friendships
• A journaling practice to help you identify and release what you're resisting

Charla also shares her deeply personal near-death experience at 21 and the promise she made to her soul — to share the message of Spirit no matter what.

Whether you're going through an ending, a transition, or simply feeling like you're at war with yourself, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

✍️ Journal Prompt from This Episode: Write down what you are resisting right now. Then write down one way you can choose to stop resisting it.
