Life's big transitions, i.e. moving cities, starting a new job, divorce, or leading your first retreat - affect our brain, body and spirit in ways we're not always conscious of in the moment. 

These events take a large toll on our energy. 

Though we may understand this, many high-achievers tend to muscle their way through these transitions, thinking that if they stop to take a break they may be seen as weak.

In this episode, we talk about what's behind this fear, and how to give our brain, body, and spirit what we need during life's transitions.

In this episode, we dig into why we do that, plus I'll share 2 questions that will help you disrupt your old ways of doing things, and start creating habits and new ways of doing things that will make you happier, more productive, and less stressed.

I like to think of intuition as a superpower. It's an inner knowing that is always with you and can help guide you in the right direction. The problem is, most of us have been taught to distrust our intuition (this is especially true if you identify as a woman or WOC). But you can learn how to access your intuition and lean into it in times of need.

In this episode, I'll walk you through 3 simple steps you can take to start accessing your intuition today.
