🎙️ Sculpt N Create — Episode 17 w/ Kam Knight

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Trea Da Fit Artist chops it up with international speaker, author, and mental performance mentor Kam Knight to break down a hidden force holding many creatives back: internal resistance.

Kam unpacks how our minds quietly sabotage our best intentions, why talented artists and entertainers often struggle to take action, and how past experiences, perfectionism, self-image, and unconscious beliefs all contribute to the invisible wall we hit when chasing our dreams.

From comfort zones to childhood programming, Kam explains how identifying and working through resistance is the key to unlocking real progress... not just in art and business, but in fitness, health, and everyday life.

This one’s a must-listen for any creative who’s ever felt stuck, paralyzed by fear, or unsure why they can’t move forward. Expect real talk, deep gems, and tools that can shift your whole mindset.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

• Desire doesn’t equal action.. resistance blocks follow-through.

• Artists often struggle more due to fear of feedback or visibility.

• Perfectionism is resistance disguised as high standards.

• Deep-rooted beliefs from childhood & trauma can hold us back.

• The brain prefers familiar, even when it’s unhealthy.

• Resistance peaks right before breakthroughs.

• Self-talk and repetition reprogram the unconscious mind.

• Success is harder to maintain than to achieve.

• Growth requires momentum more than perfection.
