Clear the Blocks…How to Tell the Difference Between a Distraction and an Opportunity

Hey friend! This episode is one of my favorites because it cracks open a hard truth: you’re not stuck. You’re distracted. And when you don’t fully trust yourself yet, distractions can look exactly like opportunities. That’s where discernment comes in.

Here’s what I’m breaking down inside this conversation:

The Discernment Gap

That space between what you say you want… and what you actually choose.
This gap is where overwhelm, overcommitment, and comparison quietly run your life.

What Distractions Actually Look Like

They’re sneaky.
They show up as shiny offers, misaligned mentors, comparison spirals, old habits you’ve outgrown, or the simple “let me check my phone real quick.” (Hi, it’s me.)

What Real Opportunity Feels Like

Expansion. Truth. Alignment.
Sometimes scary, yes. But it activates you, not drains you. Your body always knows the difference.

Listening to Your Body + Authority

Whether you’re emotional, sacral, splenic, ego, projector, or reflector, your inner guidance is always speaking. Your intuition is your actual strategy.

When You Realize You Entered the Wrong Room

That sinking feeling? That “oh no… this isn’t what I thought it would be”?
Been there. Recently. And it taught me, again, to stop outsourcing my knowing.

 

Your Reflection Ritual

Give yourself five minutes and get honest:

• What distractions am I choosing over my goals?
• What opportunities have I avoided because they scared me?
• What does expansion feel like in my body?
• What does contraction feel like and where is it showing up?
• What’s one distraction I’m ready to release before the year ends?
  

This work builds clarity. Clarity builds momentum.

And momentum is exactly where we’re heading next, in Episode 3, where we tap into your 2026 vision.
