We've all had the experience of setting a well-intended goal, creating a well thought out plan, and then not achieving the results we were after.

When you are struck by a new idea that sparks your creativity, and you swell with optimism as you contemplate the possibilities, it's easy to be swept away in the moment and want to embrace the idea with all you've got. But how do you know if that spark of inspiration is being fueled by genuine intuition, or by your ego masquerading as your intuition?

In this episode, I explore how to discern between ego-driven ideas and intuition-driven ones, focusing on aspects such as motivation, emotion, time perspective and the paradigms of scarcity vs abundance.

In this episode, I open up a dialogue on the subject of trauma. The discussion delves into how one's perception of trauma is often skewed towards traumatic incidents with a 'capital T', such as war or severe accidents. Simultaneously, smaller, personal traumas are often overlooked, despite playing a substantial role in an individual's growth and understanding of themselves.
