Through the Portal — with Tylney Taylor

In this episode of Through the Portal, Maria Gehrke sits with strategist and coach Tylney Taylor for a spacious, embodied conversation on sense-making, leadership, and the courage to trust what the body already knows.

Together, they explore the tension between left-brain strategy and right-brain intuition, how real clarity emerges through integration rather than analysis alone, and why meaningful decisions are often somatic before they are rational. The conversation culminates in a guided inner-vision journey, where Tylney steps through the Portal into a symbolic landscape that reveals a simple but powerful message: you’re already here—you just have to let it out.

This episode is an invitation for founders, leaders, and change-makers to slow down, listen more deeply, and reconnect with the inner signals that guide aligned action.

Topics explored:

Strategy as uncovering, not inventing

Integrating intuition, embodiment, and analysis in leadership

Somatic decision-making and collective intelligence

Fear, authenticity, and letting deeper work be seen

Inner vision as a source of clarity and direction

Guest:Tylney Taylor — Strategist, coach, and guide for mission-led founders and leaders. Tylney blends strategy facilitation, execution empowerment, and embodied sense-making to help people build work that matters without losing themselves in the process.

Host:Maria Gehrke — Visual Bard & creator of the Embodied Vision Portal
