What Resistance Is Really Trying to Tell You (And Why You Should Listen) with Tracy Matthews and Heather Chauvin

What if the resistance you're feeling isn't a wall to break through, but a doorway to walk through?In this powerful conversation, leadership coach Heather Chauvin and I get radically honest about resistance, fear, self-trust, and what it really takes to build a business that doesn't break you. Heather built her coaching practice while battling stage 4 cancer, and her story will remind you why you started this journey in the first place.We dive deep into why resistance shows up (and what it's really trying to tell you), the difference between failure and pivoting, how to know when to push through versus when to lean in and wait, and Heather's game-changing "wouldn't it be nice if" journaling technique.This conversation went places I didn't expect. We both cried. We talked about our mothers, our fears, and the moments that shaped who we've become.
