When Fear Took the Slide: A Lesson in Resistance, Rest & the Ride of Success

In this deeply personal episode, Anacani Walters opens up about an unexpected accident that injured both of her hands—and the spiritual and strategic lessons it revealed.

What started as a playful moment at the park quickly turned into a mirror for how she (and so many heart-led CEOs) respond to momentum, fear, and perceived loss of control. Through this story, Anacani explores how resistance shows up not just in life… but in business, launches, and moments of breakthrough.

This is a conversation about surrender.
About letting go of the grip.
About finally embracing the ride—even when it gets messy.

If you've ever found yourself pulling back just as things begin to work, this episode is for you.
