Today's episode is part II to episode #149, Trusting Your Intuition. Feel free to listen to the episodes in any order but do listen to them both as they work hand-in-hand! And, as you listen, make sure you throw all logic out of the window. Intuition and signs don't necessarily follow logic, but they can still play a crucial part in your personal life and career. Try to listen with an open-mind, and, as you do, you will learn that signs are some kind of validation or information from something greater. You will also hear relatable stories where signs created confirmations in choices being made.

Things we're covering in this episode:

- What exactly is a sign and how you can use signs to confirm whether you are on the right or wrong path

- Signs, like intuition, are not logical

- Recognizing signs can be beneficial for anyone, even if you don't think you believe in them

- How to determine if you are using signs in the wrong way as an excuse or an explanation when you feel as though you have no control over a situation and you want to point to something as an explanation

- Appropriate and helpful times to use signs

- Observing signs doesn't always mean you need to take action, because sometimes signs just lead to confirmation of a path you are already on

Have you ever stepped into a room and the hairs on your arms stood up straight? Something in your body was warning you about the situation you walked into. You weren't able to quite explain why you felt that way, but you knew it was best to trust that gut feeling. Listen to today's podcast to learn all about intuition and how we can differentiate that feeling that something is wrong versus the feeling of fear or anxiety. And, discover how intuition can actually be more powerful than the information that you are receiving and processing in your mind.

Things we're covering in this episode:

- Definition of intuition and how it differs from fear or anxiety

- Troubleshooting the difference between fear or anxiety and intuition

- How to use intuition to your advantage in both your personal and professional life

- Stepping out of your "logical" self and into mindfulness where you can fully experience intuition

- How to create space between the feeling you are experiencing and the reaction in order to create a neutral perspective

- Discovering how intuition is usually providing you some sort of insight into a situation

Part II of this episode, episode #151, will be available on February 11th and will be focused on signs. Discover whether something is a sign that you are doing the right thing or the wrong thing or if it is just a cop-out and excuse.

Do you often wonder if emotions are driving your financial decisions? Do you think about your money in the "right" way and are you using your best intentions to spend your hard-earned money? Financial Behaviorist, Jacquette Timmons, joins Hustle & Flow podcast as a guest speaker to enlighten listeners about the work she does to help her clients better understand how their financial decisions are tied to their emotions.

What we cover in this episode:

• Why it's not just about managing your money, but how you manage your emotions around your financial choices
• How managing your money can easily get tied up in guilt about providing for family members and how that tends to be a cultural trend
• Hear about financial vision and what that looks like. Everyone has emotions around the choices we make and how we leave our legacy even though some may feel more financially stable than others

• Hear more about Comfort Dinners and how they provide a safe place for healthy financial conversations with other professionals

Because so many of you are out and traveling over the holiday season, we do not have a regular episode of the podcast today. However, I did want to bring you a bonus episode, which is a rerun of one that aired about two years ago at this time and is related to creating a vision board. I am such a huge proponent for vision boards, and I've seen them work for me and my clients, time and time again. In fact, my vision board is framed in my office, and I look at it every single day! When you finish your vision board, I would love for you to take a photo of it and tag me on social media (I'm @heatherjoyhubbard on both Instagram and Facebook). Enjoy the holidays, and I look forward to coming back next week with a new episode that will also help you prepare for the best 2020 possible!

Things we're covering in this episode:

• How a vision board can give you clarity for the future (and even act as a predictor of it)

• Why the magazines you use really won't matter and what to look for when reviewing the materials

• What supplies you'll need and how long the process will take

• How to decide on what to include on your board, and what to leave out

• How and where to display your vision board, and why this will be so important!

• Questions to consider as you reflect on your wins and losses from the last 10 years

• A look back at my transformation both personally and professionally (holy cow, there were A LOT of crazy highs and lows)
