Episode Synopsis

In this stirring second chapter of The Wayfinder’s Journey, Mike Brcic invites us into the raw and often unspoken terrain of resistance: that sacred and deeply human hesitation that follows the soul’s first whisper. What happens after the call arrives but before we’re ready to answer it? This episode explores the inner walls we build with logic, busyness, and success to keep the truth at bay.Drawing from mythic stories, his own entrepreneurial unravelling, and encounters in Bhutan’s sacred monasteries, Mike shows how resistance isn’t weakness... it’s part of the initiation. It’s the quiet tension where we delay, rationalize, and sometimes suffer for years, not because we lack courage, but because we fear what real change might cost us.Whether you're stuck in a high-functioning version of pain or quietly questioning a path that once felt right, this episode is an honest invitation to recognize your own resistance... and what might be waiting on the other side of it.If the call is still whispering, let this be the moment you begin to listen.JOURNALING PROMPTS 1.
