When Love Meets Opposition: A Coach’s Reflection on Spiritual Resistance, Protection, and Purpose

In my work as a coach and spiritual guide, I hold space for people navigating growth, healing, and the pursuit of purpose. And one thing I’ve seen time and time again is this:

The moment you step deeper into your calling, resistance often follows—not always in loud or obvious ways, but subtly, quietly, from the shadows.

Recently, I’ve found myself walking through this truth in a very personal way. I received multiple intuitive readings from different sources—all pointing to the same message:

Someone is working against you behind the scenes.

At first, I didn’t give it much weight. I trust the protection around me, and I move through life with integrity and clarity. But over time, little confirmations began to surface. A passing conversation with a client connected dots I hadn’t been looking for. A past experience resurfaced—one involving someone I had once helped through deep, personal crisis. I had stood with them in darkness, extended compassion, and supported them through extremely hard times.

And yet, at some point, their energy turned. Whether through words, actions, or intention, they became a source of sabotage—quietly unraveling something I had built. The betrayal stung—not because of what was lost, but because of who it came from.

That’s when I knew: this wasn’t just a coincidence.
It was spiritual interference. And it needed to be addressed.

When the Spiritual Becomes Personal

As a coach and mystic, I don’t believe everything is a battle. But I do believe in spiritual awareness. Not everything that feels off is a matter of overthinking. Some things really are working against you—energetically, spiritually, relationally.

And when that happens, we have two choices:

• Ignore it and push through in confusion,

• Or pause, reflect, and bring it to God for clarity, covering, and peace.

I chose the second.

What I’m Learning—and What I Invite My Clients to Consider Too:

1. Your kindness doesn’t always protect you from betrayal.

Sometimes the very people you pour into carry wounds that later turn into weapons. That doesn’t make your love a mistake. It makes your discernment necessary.

2. Spiritual resistance often follows breakthrough.

When your purpose grows, so does the attention it receives. That includes attention from people who feel threatened by your clarity or light.

3. Discernment is a form of spiritual self-care.

Just like we cleanse our spaces and minds, we must also clear the spiritual static around us. Prayer, boundaries, and awareness are part of that process.

For My Clients (and You, Reading This)

This experience reminded me why I coach the way I do. I don’t just help people “get organized” or “set goals.” I walk with them through the unseen layers—the spiritual blocks, the energy leaks, the inner narratives that sabotage success and connection.

Many of my clients are creatives, caregivers, spiritual entrepreneurs, or deeply empathic souls. They feel things most people miss. They sense when something is off. And when they try to explain it, they often get dismissed as “too sensitive” or “reading too much into it.”

But they’re not.

And neither are you.

If You’re Facing Quiet Opposition, Here’s What I Encourage You to Do:

✦ Bring it to God without polishing it up.

Pray with your whole heart. Let Him handle what you can’t explain. Nothing is too small or too strange.

✦ Ask for protection and exposure.

Cover your work, your name, your calling. Ask God to bring to light anything sent to hinder you and to sever its influence completely.

✦ Forgive—but don’t invite the same energy back in.

Let go of bitterness so it doesn’t cling to your spirit, but don’t mistake forgiveness for reconciliation. Peace and protection can coexist.

✦ Stand in your calling with confidence.

You were never meant to shrink in response to spiritual resistance. You were meant to grow in clarity and authority.

You’re not crazy.
You’re discerning.
You’re not alone.
You’re protected.

This is holy ground. Stay anchored. Stay prayerful. And let God fight the battles you can’t see.

A Prayer for Protection and Peace

God, I bring this situation before You. Whether I can name it or not, I feel the resistance, and I know something is not in alignment with Your peace. I ask You to protect what I’m building, to silence every false word spoken against me, and to break the hold of any interference that is not from You. Restore my peace. Expose what needs to be seen. Strengthen my discernment. And guide me forward in freedom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
