In this episode of Mastering Business Skills, Sharon and Erin talk with writer, developmental editor, and flower farmer Diane Riis, owner of Earth and Soul Women, a holistic project that includes a legacy flower farm, live and virtual women’s circles, retreats, and classes on writing, intuition, and creativity. Diane shares how she weaves EFT tapping, guided meditation, and ritual with practical business and writing work to help women connect to “belly wisdom,” regulate their nervous systems, and trust their own inner guidance—on the page and in their businesses.​

Diane explains why she sees intuition as a compass and AI as a tool, and how she uses AI as a supportive “intern” while fiercely protecting her voice and integrity as a writer. She, Sharon, and Erin unpack the “AI voice” we’re all starting to recognize, the danger of outsourcing your authenticity to trends, and why your lived examples and energetic presence can never be replicated by technology.​

How intuition shows up through your body, dreams, and daily signals—and why everyone has access to it (not just the “naturally intuitive”).​

Simple nervous system tools Diane uses with clients: grounding through the feet, hand-on-heart, tapping, and breath patterns that calm the amygdala.​

How to “run AI through your intuition” so it supports your work without flattening your voice or values.​

Why spaciousness, quiet, and “a room of one’s own” are essential for deep thinking, writing, and business decisions.​​
