#004: The Friction of Living Aligned

In this episode, I talk about something I didn’t expect:Why does living in alignment sometimes feel harder than staying misaligned?When you start making choices that reflect who you actually are... when you stop performing, stop people-pleasing, and begin stepping into authenticity... friction shows up.Old triggers resurface, your nervous system reacts, and suddenly the aligned path doesn’t feel smooth, it feels uncomfortable.So what’s going on?In this conversation, I explore the internal and external friction that can appear when you change direction in life.We talk about:Why authenticity can activate old woundsThe difference between misalignment and growing painsWhy discomfort doesn’t always mean you’re doing it wrongWhat happens when you embrace triggers instead of discarding themThis episode is about understanding what friction might actually be revealing. Sometimes the resistance isn’t a sign to turn back. It’s a sign you’re finally moving in an honest way.==========Keep exploring 🌍austenletourneau.com
