What if your biggest career decisions could be guided by something deeper than spreadsheets and SWOT analyses? My guest Christina Trifero went from Silicon Valley tech executive to spiritual business coaching entrepreneur, and her journey of intuition development after 40 will challenge everything you think you know about inner authority. She literally got paid by her company to leave California (yes, really), found her dream home in Georgia by "challenging the universe," and now helps executives release control while building million-dollar businesses. 

In today's episode, Christina breaks down her practical approach to spirituality and entrepreneurship, sharing how she helps high-achieving women trust their gut without losing their analytical edge. We dive deep into the messy, beautiful process of major life transitions, why most spiritual influencers make her skin crawl, and how to tell the difference between intuition and just wanting something really, really badly.

What You'll Learn:

• How to distinguish between real intuition and ego-driven desires (spoiler: it has nothing to do with urgency)
• The "challenging the universe" technique that landed Christina her dream job relocation package
• Why neutrality and non-attachment are the secret weapons of successful spiritual strategy
• How to spot fake spiritual coaches who prey on vulnerable people seeking transformation
• The three levels of surrender work that Christina uses with her executive clients
• Why your nervous system needs to be regulated before you can access clear inner authority
• How spiritual bypassing keeps you stuck in quicksand instead of real growth
• The unexpected connection between feeling grief deeply and experiencing massive joy

Christina's story proves that following your intuition doesn't mean throwing logic out the window—it means integrating both for decisions that actually serve your highest good. 

Are you ready to stop outsourcing your inner authority to everyone else's opinions and start trusting the whispers of your own wisdom? Connect with Christina at @christinatriferooo or visit spiritual-curiosity.com to explore her workshops and spiritual practice circles.
