You know what to do, you want to do it… but something keeps holding you back. Why?

In this transformative episode of Beyond the Surface, host Ashley-Ann Pereira sits down with Kam Knight — bestselling author and expert on mental performance — to uncover the real reason behind internal resistance and self-sabotage.

You’ll learn:

• How your subconscious mind creates invisible blocks
• Why motivation burnout and endless “inspiration” keep you stuck
• The link between ego and resistance
• How to reprogram your mind and move beyond your comfort zone
• Tools for inner healing, emotional awareness, and lasting self-mastery
