The Power of Just One Question: How to Rescue Yourself from Struggle - EP014

Women's Empowerment School

When faced with a difficult situation or problem, we resist. We get stuck in victimhood, anger and resentment. So, how do we rescue ourselves from struggle and overwhelm?

What if I told you it’s possible to bring yourself back into power with just ONE question?

Today on the podcast, Sylvia explores the idea that what you resist persists, explaining her own recent personal experience with a difficult set of circumstances around her parents’ health and her changing business. She describes the connection between perception and experience, discussing the necessity of shifting out of resistance to an open-minded, solution-focused state.

Sylvia walks us through several iterations of the question she leveraged to reconnect with her inner wisdom, encouraging you to find the one that resonates with you—or create your own. Listen in to understand the insights Sylvia gained via this technique and learn how your sense of freedom and power is just one question away!
