Transcript

Welcome to this your sacred space.

The last two episodes we've been exploring seeing the imposter through a different lens.

In today's episode we meet her at the gate of resistance,

Destiny and the soul's fierce yes.

This episode is a companion to the substack article she rises at the gate,

Resistance and the call to purpose.

She is resistance,

She is fire,

She is the part of you that trembles just before the truth and she rises not because you're wrong but because you're finally ready.

In this episode we focus on the ones standing at the edge of their becoming.

Where fear and purpose dance,

Where doubt and destiny shake hands,

Where your soul says yes and everything else says run and run as fast as you can.

So let's begin.

There comes a moment on every sacred path right before you answer the call,

Right before you say the things that you were born to say and right before you make that leap that changes everything when something inside you resists.

You stall,

You overthink,

You distract,

You scroll,

You fixate on needing one more credential,

One more sign,

One more piece of proof.

This is resistance but it is not a block,

It is a rite of passage.

You see every call to purpose carries an echo,

An echo of all the times you've silenced yourself,

All the times truth was dangerous,

All the ways your body learned that safety meant invisibility.

So when resistance rises it's not because you're not ready,

It's because a part of you remembers.

Remembers the burn,

Remembers the betrayal,

Remembers the exile that came the last time you dared to walk your own way.

Whether this exile was from others or self it matters not.

This is not weakness,

This is ancient intelligence.

So what if instead of seeing resistance as a red flag we saw it as a sacred threshold?

What if her presence didn't mean stop but meant go deeper?

What if she were a priestess at the gate offering one final initiation before the next chapter begins?

Because here is the secret beloved,

Resistance doesn't rise to punish you,

It rises to prepare you.

Like a mirror it shows you what needs to be shared,

What needs to be grieved and what must be claimed.

Not so that you back away from the threshold but so that you can cross it with clarity,

Fully awake.

We've been taught to push through resistance,

To override it with mindset tools,

To treat it as a flaw to fix rather than a frequency to honor.

But the sacred path of the business yogi,

The priestess,

The way-shower,

The truth-seeker,

The dream-weaver doesn't bypass the wound.

It kneels beside it,

It listens and it offers balm.

This is the fierce grace of becoming.

And so when she rises,

The imposter,

The doubter,

The wounded one,

You do not silence her,

You meet her at the gate and you say to her,

I see you,

I remember what happened and I honor your fear and I choose to walk anyway.

She is not to be shamed,

She is to be thanked.

And then you walk forward,

Naked,

Trembling,

Radiant,

Because your soul has given its yes.

And that,

My love,

Is holy.

To walk through the gate of resistance is not easy.

It takes spiritual fiber,

Surrender without collapse,

Choosing purpose even when your past is still screaming,

Run,

Stay small.

But when you walk through,

You will remember who you are.

The winds will shift,

The tides will turn,

The path will clear and the next step will appear because you became the one who could walk it.

To you,

To those who are at the gate right now,

To those shaking with truth and aching with readiness,

This is your rite of passage.

This is your soul's fierce yes.

Let it take you,

Let the old stories burn,

Let the new self rise,

Because you are not becoming someone else,

You are remembering yourself.

We walk with you,

Not ahead,

Not above,

With you.

Through every gate,

Every tremble,

Every resurrection.

This is not a solo path,

This is the way of the soul led.

And if you are listening,

You're already answering.

Blessings be to you,

Beloved one.

Love,

Light and abundant blessings.

Namaste.
