We hear time and time again how intuitive and wise our inner self is, but that can be hard to believe when we don't feel connected to or even understand who that inner self even is. If you can relate, get ready to feel seen by our expansive guest, Mari Roberts - a psychic life coach who specializes in bringing purpose into the 9-5 lifestyle.

There were so many wonderful gems dropped throughout this conversation. It's surprising to learn just how much we're impacted by our inner child! But Mari walks us through endless exercises to nurture our inner child and heal our connection to our intuition. Mari's insights will be so liberating for anyone who is living in self-doubt, uncertainty, and overwhelm. I know I'll be keeping this episode handy in my own back pocket!

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT…
Everyone has their own inner wisdom and intuition.
Exposing the truth on the glorified side-hustle.
How to bring purpose into the 9-5 culture.
Intuitive exercises for connecting to your authentic self.
