This week on Ride Your Tide, we’re diving into the third stage of The Anatomy of Change: Hopeful Bargaining. After fearingchange and ignoring our pain, many of us slip into this subtle but powerful phase, telling ourselves that if we wait long enough, the pain will simply fade away.

But the truth is, bargaining with life doesn’t make our struggles vanish. Instead, it deepens the roots of resistance, keeping us stuck in illusions rather than grounded in reality.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

🔎 How to recognize when you’re bargaining instead of healing

😔 Why resistance leads to more suffering, not less

💰 The hidden costs of bargaining in relationships, work, and self-growth

🚶🏽‍♀️ Practical steps to notice the pattern and begin moving toward acceptance

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been treading water while life passes you by, this conversation will help you see the bargaining cycle clearly, and remind you that change is possible once we stop making silent deals withexistence and start living with truth.
