Let’s be honest… have you ever dug your heels in so hard… only to look back later and think,
“Wait… why was I so resistant to that?”

In this episode, we’re diving into the difference between stubbornness and self-protection, and how easily the two get confused.

Because what if you’re not stubborn… what if you’re protecting something?

Or… what if you’ve been calling it “self-protection” when it’s actually fear keeping you stuck?

We’re breaking down:

• What stubbornness really means
• The 3 types most people don’t realize they’re operating from
• The science behind why your brain resists change
• When holding your ground helps you… and when it quietly holds you back
• A fun, real-time self-test to explore your own patterns
• And a simple tool you can use in the moment to shift your awareness

This episode isn’t about judging yourself.
It’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level.

🎧 Get ready for a little honesty… a little humor… and a lot of self-awareness.

Keeping it Real,

Jamie Lynn Gourlie

TOOL - The 3-Second Check-In

This is something you can use in real time.

When you feel that resistance come up…

Pause.

Just for a second.

And ask yourself:

1. What am I feeling in my body right now?
2. What might I be trying to protect?
3. Is this coming from fear… or alignment?

That’s it.

No overthinking.

Just awareness.

Because awareness creates choice.
