Ep. 108 Let’s Talk About My Coffee Machine: Why You’re Resisting the Very Thing That Could Change Your Life
Why do we resist the very things that could make our lives better?
Not the big, pack-your-bags, change-your-life kind of changes…
But the small, daily shifts that would actually bring more peace, clarity, and ease into our lives.
In this episode of the Called and Curious Podcast, Ashriel unpacks the surprising reason change feels so hard—and why the “simple things” we avoid are often the exact doorway to transformation.
Because we’ve all felt it…
That resistance to:
starting something new
doing it a different way
putting in effort up front
or stepping into something that stretches us
Even when a part of us knows…
this could actually help me.
So instead, we stay where it’s familiar.
Where it’s easier.
Where it’s…fine.
But what if “fine” is keeping you from something better?
What if the thing you’re resisting…
is actually where the shift is waiting?
Not overnight.
Not instantly.
But slowly…consistently…over time.
Until one day, you realize—
it’s easier.
it’s natural.
it’s even…enjoyable.
And there it is…
your version of the sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
Discover:
Why your brain resists change (even when it’s good for you)
The hidden phase of growth most people quit in
How small, repeated actions move from effort → ease → automatic
A simple, faith-rooted framework to help you move through resistance
What it really looks like to “stay long enough for the blessing”
This is an episode for the woman who feels stuck between knowing what could help… and actually doing it.
You’re not lazy.
You’re not broken.
You’re just in the middle of the process.
