When something feels “off” it’s usually a sign that you are out of alignment. You start to feel doubts about your current routine, your work, or your lifestyle, and it can feel like you’re stuck in place. What if those intuitive nudges or doubts are actually the first steps towards following your calling? 

In this episode, artist and creative guide Jenn Faye Colombo shares how she turned quiet nudges into a beautiful career that allows her to fully embrace her inner artist. 

We explore how to:

• Give yourself permission to color outside the lines of traditional ways of doing things and lean into what resonates most with you 
• Use simple forms of art as energy work to recenter, refocus, and reconnect with your inner guidance
• Quiet doubts through intentional doing
• Integrate practical structure with soul-led inspiration to build a successful business

Whether you're an entrepreneur or someone navigating a transition, this conversation is your permission slip to return to what rings true.

In this vulnerable solo episode, I share a powerful moment of reflection that emerged on a rainy, overcast day, when my plans unraveled and I finally paused to pour into myself. After a hectic morning of back-to-back meetings and emotional exhaustion, I reached for my journal…and what came through shifted everything.

I walk you through a journal prompt that I borrowed from a personal development program that I’m in. It was an exercise that I honestly was afraid of at first, but it ultimately revealed deeper layers of clarity about my past corporate experience, current entrepreneurial journey, and permission to integrate the two. Through writing, I realized I’d been carrying old identities and outdated definitions of success that no longer fit the life and work I’m building now.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who you are becoming—without needing to erase who you’ve been.

In This Episode, I Talk About:

• Reframing my corporate past as a foundation, not an identity associated with burnout
• How 10 minutes of journaling helped me process burnout and career transitions and pave a positive path forward
• Why you don’t have to choose between structure and creativity in your work

🏝Ready to Slow Down and Realign?

If you're feeling the need to slow down and just can’t find the time, my program The Shoreline Shift might be just what you need. It's designed to help you bring more ease, intention, and alignment to your personal or professional life---through movement, mindfulness, and customized tools like journaling---without losing your ambition.
