If You Move, It Will Stay...

from Courage to Rise · host Jennifer Wreyford

In today's episode, I'm diving into a phrase I first learned through my Ashtanga yoga practice: "If you move, it will stay. If you stay, it will move." At the time, it was about holding a pose. But the longer I sat with it, the more I realized… it's about everything. Emotional pain. Physical discomfort. The hard seasons. The things we want to push away, numb, or escape. So many of us have been taught to leap out of anything that feels uncomfortable. But what if the very thing we're trying to avoid… is the thing that will finally move if we just stay with it? This episode is an invitation to be with what is — not to suffer, but to witness. Not to push through, but to soften into presence. I'll walk you through how I practice this in real time — and how you can start to meet your life with a different kind of attention. In this episode, I talk about: Why presence isn't just about being "in the moment" — it's about relationship How I use gratitude to anchor back into now The real difference between numbing and healing What I've learned from sitting with pain (both physical and emotional) The subtle shift from resistance to allowing A reframe that helps me meet discomfort without collapsing into it Presence isn't only for the "good" stuff. It means choosing to stay — even when it would be easier to run.
