    EP 225 "You Say You Want It—But Resistance Says No" with guest Kam Knight
    Feb 11 2026
    What excuses or distractions do you use that might actually be tricks of resistance?In this episode of the *Deal to Heal with E. James Podcast*, Earnest James sits down with Kam Knight for a focused and eye-opening conversation about **wants, resistance, and the subtle ways resistance shows up to keep us stuck**. Kam breaks down how many people say they *want* change, healing, growth, or success—but unconsciously resist the very actions required to get there.Throughout the conversation, Kam unpacks how resistance disguises itself as excuses, distractions, procrastination, comfort, and even “good intentions.” He challenges listeners to examine whether their daily habits truly align with what they say they want, or if resistance is quietly running the show. This episode exposes the tricks resistance plays to protect familiarity over growth and calls listeners to greater self-awareness, discipline, and ownership.At its core, this conversation is a reminder that healing and progress don’t come from desire alone—they come from confronting resistance, telling ourselves the truth, and choosing action even when it’s uncomfortable. Wanting change is easy. Becoming who you say you want to be requires courage, consistency, and commitment.🔑 Revised Key Takeaways (Resistance-Focused)Wanting change is easy—doing the work exposes resistance.Desire alone doesn’t produce growth; action does.Resistance often disguises itself as excuses, distractions, and delays.What feels “reasonable” can actually be self-sabotage.Your habits reveal what you truly want more than your words do.Daily behavior tells the truth desire tries to hide.Resistance protects comfort, not purpose.It fights growth by convincing you to stay familiar instead of faithful.Self-awareness is the first step in overcoming resistance.You can’t defeat what you refuse to name.Discipline is the bridge between what you want and who you become.Growth happens when you act despite discomfort.Healing begins when you stop negotiating with resistance.Freedom comes from choosing progress over excuses.If you want, I can now:Align the timestamps more clearly around resistance momentsRewrite the YouTube description with a high-retention resistance hookCreate short-form clip titles built around “resistance exposed”You’re not a failure for wanting more.You’re becoming when you confront resistance.Deal.
