151: Stop Retreating from Resistance and Use It to Expand Your Life w/ Nikki Naab-Levy
Resistance is how we fortify our muscle, our bone, and even our brain tissue. Learning how to embrace resistance is also how we learn to expand our lives. Resistance, both emotional and physical, can literally forge us into more capable and resilient human beings IF we are willing to lean into it rather than making a habit of retreating from it.
In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing strength coach and fellow podcaster Nikki Naab-Levy and we discuss all things “resistance”, including:
- How she shows up for herself despite resistance being present.
- How resistance training improved her life.
- How to approach resistance training safely.
- How to trust your body again after you have been injured.
And so much more!
