In this episode of Survival Mode Disrupted, I sit down with mentor, international speaker and author of a dozen books, Kam Knight, to dismantle one of the most frustrating parts of survival mode: knowing what you want, knowing what to do… and still not doing it. Kam breaks down internal resistance as a very real part of the brain built to keep you “safe” (AKA stuck), and we explore how this plays out for high-achieving women who are spinning, over-functioning, and constantly postponing their own desires “until later.”

💥 In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • What survival mode looks like when you’re busy, driven, and still not moving toward what you actually want
  • The difference between the part of your brain that creates desires and the part that allows you to act on them
  • Why you can genuinely want something and still feel blocked, frozen, or constantly “not ready”
  • How beliefs, identity, comfort zones, habits, core needs and authority issues all feed internal resistance
  • The sneaky “tricks of resistance” like “I’ll do it later,” “after this I’ll stop,” and “once life calms down”
  • Why affirmations sometimes don’t work—and how to tweak them so they actually land
  • The power of self-talk statements like:
  • “I am a do-it-now person. I easily do things now. I easily accomplish my goals right away.”
  • “I am deserving, have permission, and can have good things.”
  • How to use questions (instead of mental self-assault) to redirect your brain toward solutions:
  • “How can I become a do-it-now person?”
  • “What would it look like to give myself permission?”

🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Wanting something does not automatically mean you’ll move toward it—resistance will always put up a fight.
  • Not all the thoughts in your head are “truth”—some of them are literally resistance speaking through you.
  • Survival mode often feels like being productive and busy… while going absolutely nowhere that matters.
  • Your beliefs about what is possible for you matter more than what you believe is possible in general.
  • You cannot out-hustle an identity that doesn’t believe it deserves what it wants—you have to reprogram it.
