We Start with Resistance

from Talk to Me, Baby · host Saadya & Mushky Notik

In our debut episode of Talk to Me, Baby, we sit down on the couch in the Healing Cabin and talk—honestly and unscripted—about resistance.What begins as a conversation about the friction of recording a podcast opens into something deeper: how we tell the difference between resistance that’s a signal to stop and resistance that’s an invitation to grow. Together, we explore the tension between forcing and avoiding, effort and surrender, alignment and discomfort.We reflect on resistance as an inherent part of expansion—whether in relationship, spiritual life, creative work, or personal healing. Drawing on our lived experience, shared language, and embodied insight, we explore ideas like:Why resistance often shows up around the things that matter mostHow irritation, friction, and discomfort don’t necessarily mean something is wrongThe difference between forcing something and staying present with difficultyResistance as the “pullback” that allows forward motionGrowth not as a reward for enduring resistance, but as something that emerges through itFaith, prayer, and the question of when asking for relief may interrupt a deeper processRather than offering answers or conclusions, this episode models the act of staying in the conversation—listening, questioning, and allowing insight to unfold in real time.
