Accepting What Is — Letting Go of the Fight with Reality

Accepting What Is — Letting Go of the Fight with Reality

What if the tension you’re feeling isn’t about the situation… but your resistance to it?

In this episode, I talk about how resistance shows up in our daily lives, our relationships, and within ourselves—and how acceptance doesn’t mean giving up. It means finding peace by stopping the fight with what already is.

We’ll explore:

  • Why acceptance is not approval—and why it actually leads to clearer action

  • How grief, frustration, and unmet expectations can trap us in internal chaos

  • Micro-control moments and the emotional cost of needing things your way

  • What relational resistance looks like and how to soften it

  • The power of self-acceptance and being your own friend

  • Real questions and practical steps to help you practice acceptance in everyday life

This one’s a deep dive—and maybe the most personal yet.

Until next time, keep grappling, keep breathing, and keep looking forward.
