Beyond Resistance

Overcome Inner & Inherited Roadblocks to Success

Are Self-Doubt, Confusion, or Low Motivation Holding You Back?

Does success for you mean engaging in impactful or meaningful work and perhaps being a bit counter-cultural?

If so, you’re in the right place.

Many of us feel a deep drive to contribute to change, whether through entrepreneurship, art, education, personal development, leadership, or simply in how we choose to live and raise the next generation.

yet the path of challenging the status quo is full of challenges.

  • First, you probably doubt that you could be a change-maker or a leader or a visionary, at all.  “Who am I to do or be that?” you may ask
  • Second, you probably devalue the ways in which you already contribute to change, whether it’s external, like bridging disparate fields or viewpoints or internal, like embracing the strengths of your unique flavor of undiagnosed neurodivergence.
  • Third, you’re probably still encountering frustrating obstacles to success and meaningful work despite having done therapy and maybe even some somatic healing work.

Roadblocks you might be facing:

  • Overwhelm or Resentment: Struggling under the weight of too many responsibilities.
  • Confusion and Stagnation: Experiencing cycles of brain freeze that hinder progress.
  • Lack of Motivation: Withdrawing or numbing out when resistance feels too big to move through.
  • Self-Doubt, Anxiety, & Isolation: Feeling alone or inadequate despite people seeming to like you and self-evident skills.

In my experience, persistent resistance and roadblocks are not merely personal or due to lack of willpower or skill

Instead, persistent obstacles that do not respond to traditional approaches often arise from the shadows of our ancestral past and the uncharted territories of existential dilemmas held in our internal landscapes.

Although this might sound daunting, you don’t have to go it alone.

MEET SARA: scientist-mystic

Hi, I'm Sara Taylor, PhD., a former behavioral neuroscientist and psychology professor specializing in the impact of early and chronic stress on mental illness and addiction.

My personal experience with severe anxiety and panic during pregnancy, stemming from what I now know was generational trauma, alongside my disenchantment with academia, steered me toward a new direction.

Now, I leverage my background in stress and mental health to facilitate Generational & Existential Self-Reclamation, combining systemic family constellations, Norse shamanic healing techniques, and multidimensional somatic and nervous system support.

This blend of science and spirituality empowers me to guide others through the shadows and complexities of emotional and existential challenges inherent in doing meaningful work.

Generational and Existential Self-Reclamation

My approach, which blends innovative techniques and grounded wisdom, offers a way to understand, rewrite, and integrate these deep-rooted influences, clearing the path for true progress and fulfillment, transforming challenges into sources of strength.

The 3 Core Components

Generational

Our lives are intricately connected to those of our ancestors. Both science and indigenous wisdom agree that we inherit more than just DNA—epigenetic markers, behaviors, and even energetic imprints shape us in subtle yet profound ways. Recognizing these influences is the first step towards using them to support you instead of hinder you.

Existential

Existence itself poses questions that many struggle to answer: Do I have the right to be here, to occupy space, and to assert myself? These existential dilemmas often stem from a complex mix of personal and ancestral experiences that provoke life’s deepest questions about life, death, suffering, and meaning.

Self-Reclamation

Post-traumatic growth is about reclaiming and integrating more of your Self. Going beyond conventional therapies, Self-reclamation is about reuniting with vitality, purpose, and relational capacity. It’s not about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reclaiming what has always been yours, just waiting for you to make your way through to it.

Key Benefits of Engaging This Work:

  • Increased access to motivation and creativity, helping you innovate and contribute more effectively.
  • Increased focus and presence in your work, enhancing sustainable productivity and satisfaction.
  • A more connected sense of purpose and belonging, improving your overall satisfaction in life and career.
  • Improved relationships with family, business, career, and money promoting sustainable success and well-being.
  • Greater confidence and self-trust, enabling decisive action and alignment with your goals.
  • Letting go of unnecessary responsibilities, focusing your efforts on what truly matters.
  • Enhanced ability to lead and navigate your life and work actively engage with challenges as opportunities for growth instead of freezing up and shutting down.

Please do know that results vary depending on how much work you’ve already done, how actively you engage this work, how much ancestral entanglement you carry, your personal life experiences, and your current life circumstances.

Client Feedback

I get to be a better version of myself because of this work.

You are teaching us how to be human again, how we are supposed to be wired in the first place.  I feel like I’m being taught how to be what I was supposed to be. 

I think that everyone single person in the world should do this work.

Client Feedback

When I started this work, I felt like a shell of a human. I was exhausted, pessimistic, lacking vision, creativity, joy, or any desire to do much of anything. Internally, I was lacking any true level of compassion for myself. 

After doing this work, I feel that I am able to take steps back, shift my perspective, provide space for myself to lean into whatever emotions come up throughout my experiences, and explore with kindness what I need, don’t need, or even what I want.

I found freedom to exist in a way that feels true to who I am.
