Stop Outsourcing Your Intuition

You ever sit down with a girlfriend for a good old-fashioned coffee chat?
You catch up, swap stories, laugh, and maybe gossip just a little.

That’s the good part.
But tell me if this has ever happened to you—somewhere between the laughter and the refill, you share an idea that’s still tender. Maybe a new project, or a little soul nudge that just came through.

And before you know it… boom. The advice machine starts whirring.
Someone’s got a story, a warning, a better way.
And suddenly that bright spark inside you? It’s flickering.

I’ve been there too. So many times.

For a long time, I didn’t even realize that’s what I was doing—handing over my power to someone else’s logic.
Until one day I just… stopped.

I stopped asking for permission.
I stopped outsourcing my intuition.
And I started listening in.

That’s where the story gets good. If you’re a paid subscriber, come on in—I’m about to tell you what happened when I finally stopped ignoring my intuition
