In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of in-sourcing versus outsourcing our decision-making processes. I share my personal journey of how, for years, I relied heavily on coaches and mentors, often second-guessing my own intuition and capabilities. This reliance stemmed from my upbringing, where I was taught to seek answers from others rather than trusting myself. I explore how this mindset affected my ability to turn my passion into a viable business, keeping me stuck in a cycle of seeking external validation instead of embracing my own insights.

Through my experiences, I’ve learned the transformative power of connecting with my business’s energy and trusting my intuition. I discuss practical steps to shift from outsourcing decisions to in-sourcing them, empowering you to tap into your own wisdom. I encourage you to start small—list the pros and cons, then tune into your intuition, and gradually build the confidence to make decisions that resonate with you. Join me as I share strategies to cultivate a deeper connection with your business and embrace the knowledge that you are more capable than you may believe.
