In this solo episode, I dive into the power of intuition as well as how to mobilize it to call in beautiful gifts and joyful surprises in your everyday life. 

I emphasize the importance of not overanalyzing or rationalizing intuitive downloads and instead recommend a practice of recording them. By noting down your intuitions and the way you perceived them, you can begin to recognize and deepen your unique flavour of intuition. I share some playful personal stories of how I manifested unexpected delights during a period of opening more deeply into trusting my intuition.

The episode also explores intention setting and the role of gratitude in opening up to intuitive insights. I emphasize that intention setting involves not just visualizing your desires but also feeling what you desire and gratitude for the lessons learned, challenges overcome, and the magical moments in life. By holding intentions for ease, grace, and love in all that you do, and by allowing yourself to beam or sprinkle loving energy wherever you go, you can create an energetic environment that attracts beautiful surprises big and small! 

This episode serves as an invitation to trust your inner knowing, embrace the practice of logging intuitions, and create a mindset of receptivity to not just that which your heart desires but also life’s joyful surprises.

As you dive into Melinda's extraordinary journey, you will discover the profound impact that traveling to “the other side” had on how Melinda has come to terms with loss and reoriented her life’s purpose, including a major career change honing in on intuitive health and the wisdom of our physical bodies.

Whatever love, life and loss you have experienced, Melinda’s story shines a light and offers a unique perspective on navigating grief and embracing your intuition. You will gain insight into how you can hold multiple perspectives and experiences of your reality at the same time. 

Melinda reminds us that we can accept complexity and allow ourselves to be cracked open by life’s experiences, while also embracing the beauty of the journey and the illumination that comes with healing and allowing ourselves to transform. Melinda draws on the metaphor offered by Kintsugi, a Japanese pottery technique where broken pottery is put back together with gold, which inspired her Scarlit Coaching practice. 

Melinda's story emphasizes the interconnectedness of life, death, and intuition, and invites you to explore the ways in which your intuitive senses can guide you beyond the immediate physical realm. Her insights will challenge you to consider how embracing intuition can lead to a more authentic and purposeful life.

How would your career and personal life evolve if you let your intuition be your guide? In today’s episode, I talk with Vanessa Valencia about how she has tapped into different aspects of her intuition with significant results in different chapters of her life. 

Vanessa openly shares about her young adulthood and how her intuition led her to leave Toronto to pursue her MBA in France. She talks about the benefits of launching her PR career in Europe and why she listened to her intuition and returned to Canada a decade later as she continued to rise in her career. Contemplating the question, “What would I do if I were brave?”, Vanessa eventually took some even bigger risks that ultimately led her to launch an inspiring product, a new career, meet the love of her life, and embrace a completely new chapter of life in a new city. 

We talk about big transitions in life, the process of letting go, and how love can surprise you when you least expect it. We dive into how we navigate loneliness and loss while embracing the evolution of our inner knowing. We also explore intention setting as a practice and the healing powers of nature and being of service to others.

Vanessa’s corporate career in strategic business communications spans over 20 years having held senior leadership positions at several Public Relations agencies globally where she led creative campaigns for some of the world’s largest brands including Amazon, Facebook, France Telecom, Ford Motors, Microsoft, and Nespresso among many others. Vanessa now supports business owners to get clear on their business priorities and create communications systems to execute their vision in a measurable and effective way. As a certified trauma-informed Master Life Coach, Project Manager, and Master of Business Communications, Vanessa has helped hundreds of leaders, coaches and entrepreneurs to build transformative practices in their businesses and their personal lives.

Jake helps people identify patterns that are keeping them stuck so they can reconnect with themselves and build a life they love. Jake's core values are authenticity, connection, and creativity, which are the main drivers of his work as a therapist, writer, speaker, partner, friend, and dog dad. 

In an open-hearted and candid conversation, Jake reflects on growing up queer in a small town, losing his father as a teenager and becoming the first member of his family to attend university.
