You want to hear something crazy. I spent three weeks of waiting booking a flight to go see my mom.

Three weeks. Not because I didn't have the money, not because I didn't know how, but because

every single time I opened to the Delta website, I would feel this wave of overwhelm and just

close the tap. And then once I figured out what was actually happening, I booked the whole trip in 10 minutes.

And that's what we're going to talk about today.

Welcome to the Do It Scared podcast.

I'm your host, Ruth Sukup, and each week on the show we will talk about how to face your fears,

overcome obstacles, and most importantly, how to face your fears, overcome obstacles,

and most importantly, how to take action and create a life you love.

Thank you. Hey there, and welcome back to the show.

Once again, my name is Ruth Sukup, and I'm the New York Times bestselling author of seven books and the creator of multiple seven figure brands, but my overall mission

is to help you create a life and business you love. And listen, I am so glad you're back

here with me today because we are diving into something that I think affects every single one of us,

probably more than we even realize. I'm talking about resistance. And no, I don't

mean the big dramatic kind where you have a full-blown meltdown and you can't get out of

bed. I'm talking about the sneaky quiet kind that shows up as procrastination or overthinking,

or suddenly deciding you need to reorganize your entire pantry instead of

doing the thing that you actually do need to do. You know what I'm talking about, right? It's that

invisible force that kicks in the second, literally the second, you decide to make a change,

whether it's booking the trip, starting the project, having the hard conversation,

or finally launching the thing that you've been putting off for months.

And you know what's crazy?
