Resistance isn't the enemy

Hi Reader,

You may not know this about me, but I've been doing the self-employed thing for the past 14 years.

I’ve been a private tutor, website designer, freelance writer, writing coach, instructional designer—and now I’m a coach/tarot reader/astrologer hybrid. (Can you tell I'm a Gemini? 😉)

I’ve taken more courses and joined more memberships than I can count.

And here’s something I’ve started to see clearly:

A lot of them are built around this idea that someone out there has finally cracked the code.

And if you just follow their steps—just post consistently, follow up diligently, write the right kind of sales page—everything will start working.

But what happens when you can’t follow the steps?

What happens when you stare at the content calendar and just feel like you're trying to push a boulder up a hill?

Or when the idea of sending a template follow-up email makes you want to organize your kids playroom...or scrub that oatmeal off of the pot that's been sitting in the sink for 3 days.

And then the shame kicks in. The guilt. The overthinking.

You tell yourself, I just need to push through.
You start thinking, If I can’t even do this, maybe I’m not cut out for it.

And slowly, your creativity shuts down.

Not because you have nothing to say.

But because you’re convinced that their way is the way and if you can't do it, there's something wrong with you.

That’s been my story. And it’s been the story of a lot of people I work with, too.

After reading hundreds of birth charts, I’ve come to believe this:

Resistance isn’t the enemy.
It’s the part of you that knows when something’s off.
It’s the part trying to get your attention.

It’s not saying “you’re lazy.”
It’s saying “this isn’t yours.”

Over the next few months, I’ll be exploring questions like:

Why do we spend so much time and money trying to make other people's processes and systems work for us?

What happens when we work with our resistance and procrastination to see what's underneath?

How can tarot, astrology, and intuitive practices help us find ourselves and our businesses under all of the conditioning, noise, and fear?

...and more.

I'll be doing this exploration about business, but it can apply to any area of your life, so if you're not a business owner, I hope you'll stick around.

One way I’m doing that is through a podcast, where you’ll hear real intuitive coaching sessions with business owners who feel frozen, stuck, or silenced—and you'll see how they start to shift when they have space to look at what's really keeping them stuck.

If that’s a conversation you want to be part of, I’d love to have you.

👉 I’ve got 7 spots open for podcast sessions. Just hit reply and say “tell me more" if you're interested.

I know this frozen place. And I also know what it feels like to start moving again—slowly, gently, in your own direction.

Warmly,
Daniela
