Magnetically You

One of the most common questions I get from my clients is, "How do I know if it's fear or my intuition telling me not to take action?" 

Many of us are taught to push through fear—"feel the fear and do it anyway." While this approach might lead to action, it often leaves us feeling drained, misaligned, and burdened with unresolved emotions. Fear, if not acknowledged and released, tends to follow us into whatever action we take, making the journey less enjoyable or even chaotic.

Instead of bulldozing through fear, there’s a more effective approach that brings clarity, ease, and joy to your decisions.

In this episode, we dive into:

✧The problem with “feeling the fear and doing it anyway”

✧Signs you’re operating from fear vs intuition

✧Why fear doesn’t always mean something is out of alignment

✧How to find more clarity when fear is clouding your intuition

✧The power of waiting for your intuition to guide your next move

In this episode, I’m answering a question from one of my newsletter subscribers: Is alignment non-feeling? Does being in alignment mean that situations, people, or events don't bring an emotional response? I've always been confused about what being in alignment actually means.

This is such a powerful question because the concept of alignment is often misunderstood. And here's the thing—there’s no black-and-white answer. I don’t believe alignment is a rigid concept, where you’re either “in alignment” or “out of alignment.” That kind of thinking keeps us trapped in duality, which can feel sticky and restrictive. So, let’s explore this from a few different angles.

In this episode, we dive into:

✧What it means to be in alignment

✧Alignment and emotional responses

✧Why alignment isn’t only about feeling good and life going your way

✧Four different lenses through which to view alignment

✧A game-changing realization from my inner self

Most people hurry and rush through life as if everything is urgent. I’ve been there and it’s a very exhausting way to live.

In this episode, I’m sharing how you can release the constant sense of pressure and urgency, so you can move through your life with greater presence, flow and ease.

In this episode, we dive into:

✧Why living unrushed doesn’t always mean doing less or slowing down

✧The link between living unrushed and tapping into your intuition

✧How letting go of rushing can lead to more productivity with less effort

✧3 “steps” to stop rushing and start living in flow
