Trusting Your Intuition With Career Decisions (How to differentiate between logic, fear & intuition)
Trusting your intuition with career decisions is one of the most important tools in your toolbox. But how do we tell the difference between intuition and fear?
Most people don't trust their intuition as a "real" data point:
Do you find yourself ignoring your intuition, only to find out later that your instincts were right?
Want to use your intuition more but have trouble "hearing" it?
Do you have difficulty differentiating between intuition and fear?
Do you struggle to know which voice in your head you should listen to?!
In today's video, I share:
How fear often masquerades as intuition—and how to know the difference

Intuitive Decision-making: Navigating Fear, Logic, and Intuition
You know I'm all about logic and reason. I'm an INTJ.
But intuitive decision-making is a critical tool to leverage on the way to career happiness and fulfillment—especially when the path forward is still fuzzy.
It can be so hard to know the right decision when we have a bunch of contradictory information bouncing around in our brain machines.
For years, I ignored my intuition, and allowed "logic" and "reason" to override what I knew but couldn't explain how I knew—only to realize later that my intuition was right all along!
So I'm on a mission to help you cut through all the noise so you can make the best decisions for you and move forward with confidence.

The curse of pro/con lists
Are you ready for a career that fits YOU? Ready to step into true flexibility and freedom?
It's time to step away from the comparisons, expectations, and “shoulds”…
Those are all external voices. It's time to go inward.
It's time to L-I-S-T-E-N. Not to OTHER PEOPLE. Not to the naysayers who themselves are stuck and playing small.
It's time to listen to YOURSELF. That inner voice. It may be quiet. But it's there.
Figuring out how to bring your goals into reality can be daunting.
You just need the roadmap that gives you the confidence, clarity, and concrete steps to get there.
