How to Handle Resistance When You’re Growing | Overcoming Pushback from People | LTL Podcast

Episode Summary:

When you decide to grow, level up, or change your life, not everyone will celebrate you. Some will talk down, distance themselves, oppose you, or even rewrite the narrative to make your intentions look negative. That kind of resistance can leave you feeling discouraged, distracted, or even hopeless.

In this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, we unpack:

• Why people resist your growth – the psychology of protecting their comfort and status quo

• How resistance shows up – gossip, opposition, downplaying your wins, withdrawing support

• The mental & spiritual toll – discouragement, defensiveness, and isolation

• Practical steps to overcome it:

   

  1. Normalize resistance – understand it’s natural when you disrupt the “safe zone”

  2. Highlight the benefits – remind others (and yourself) why the change matters

  3. Cheer yourself on – don’t wait for outside validation

  4. Communicate clearly & consistently – keep sharing the vision so others can buy in

  5. Anchor in faith – remember, what’s rooted in God will grow (Moses’ story as proof!)

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel equipped to keep moving forward — even when the world around you seems to push back.

🔑

Key Takeaways
