In Episode 10 of Soul Inspiring Business, host Kara Chaffin Donofrio, discusses how to access your inner guidance to assist in solving problems and decision making. Always remember that you are uniquely powerful, and possess an infinite amount of wisdom within. Kara will remind you of this important truth, and give you practices to better connect with your highest self and divine wisdom! 

 Episode Highlights:

• In the past, Kara shares that she was heavily influenced by others, and often turned to mentors, coaches, and friends for "the answers" to any problem.
• While it can be positive to have a select group of people to share ideas, it is equally important to not allow another person's story to influence your own. 
• Even with the best of intentions, your mentors, coaches, and friends are not you. They are responding with their own biases. 
• In religious teachings, we hear time and time again to listen to our inner guidance to create a life of joy and purpose. 
• Kara shares the way to begin your inner guidance practice is: 1) find a place that makes you feel at peace, 2) have a journal and pen ready, and 3) find a form of meditation. 
• Kara explains that a simple way to begin the inner guidance practice is by connecting yourself above and below and writing down what comes to mind in that creative moment.
