Deeply Rested: Anti-Capitalist Conversations for Entrepreneurs May 2025: Removing Obstacles & Finding Flow
Do you ever feel like you know what you want to create, but still find yourself spinning your wheels, second-guessing your next step, or bumping up against old resistance? What if that resistance isn’t something to power through, but a gentle nudge to pause and reflect?
In this episode, Nancy and I are inviting you behind the scenes of our personal and professional process as we step into May.
We start this episode by asking three grounding reflection questions:
What lessons did we learn in April? What vision crystallized for us? What themes do we want to continue exploring in May?
These questions are opening the door to something deeper. Because here’s the truth: even when clarity arrives, there will still be obstacles blocking our path. And rather than ignoring them, we’re slowing down and tuning in—naming the fears, old patterns, and limiting beliefs that bubble up when we’re on the edge of aligned action.
Together we explore:
The importance of reviewing the past month before diving ahead (04:15)
Our April vision—and why we ultimately decided to change course (09:45)
How fear, scarcity, and perfectionism get in the way of what we truly want (17:30)
The four-step process we’re using to work through our blocks (34:50)
How we're reclaiming trust and making space for deep rest retreats (43:45)
Here's a reminder of the four steps we’re using this month to clear space and move forward with more ease:
- Get clear about the obstacles.
- Share them with someone you trust.
- Consider what kind of healing work or accountability is needed.
- Be realistic about what change actually looks like.
This isn’t a formula—it’s a practice. We talk through the fears and narratives that shaped our April, why we’re shifting our May plans, and how we’re staying connected to trust and intention along the way.
If you’ve been pushing through your resistance or trying to override your inner knowing in the name of productivity, this is your permission slip to slow down, reflect, and re-align. You don’t have to do it alone—we’re right here in it with you.
