Welcome back and thank you for tuning in today. In this episode, I want to share something deeply personal, a story about how my self development journey helped me make one of the most pivotal decisions in my life. We'll explore how doing the inner work of self discovery strengthens your intuition and how trusting that guidance can lead to amazing outcomes. And by the end of this episode, you'll have tools to help you feel more connected And confident in making your own decisions. So let's dive in. When we embark on a self development journey, it's not about becoming better. It's about peeling back the layers of fear, doubt, and those limiting beliefs that cloud our inner wisdom. Years ago, I faced major crossroads in my business. At the time I was working full time out of a naturopathic clinic. Which was a safe and familiar environment, but when the clinic owner announced that she was closing it, I was faced with a decision I wasn't really prepared for. Should I continue renting a room somewhere else or should I take that leap and open my own centre? Was the thoughts I was pondering. On the surface it seemed like an exciting opportunity, but deep down I was scared. I had. Limiting, a limiting belief that I never wanted to own my own business, which is funny because I did, I just hadn't considered it a real business, which is an interesting limiting belief. Um, as well, I grew up watching my parents pour endless hours into their business, really taking breaks. And I didn't want to feel trapped in the same way. But then I remembered something in my early career, I worked in a healing center and the owner there encouraged me to treat the space as if it were my own. In fact, she did that of all the practitioners that worked from her healing center, as well as any staff. And I worked on reception at the time and ran my workshops, my Reiki workshops from her center. I even had my own key and would imagine quietly to myself when I would open the center, imagining what it would be like to have my own center like hers. And her center was so beautifully fitted out. Uh, that memory had stayed with me, but I had kind of buried it under layers of doubt and fear. I'm sure you can relate. Not knowing what to do, I turned to my business coach for guidance. Through our conversations, I uncovered the unconscious fears that were holding me back. And once I acknowledged those fears, I was able to shift my mindset. I started to set intentions and began visualizing what having my own space could look and feel like. That's when my intuition came through in a powerful way, through a vivid lucid dream. I saw myself standing at the top of a hill in a flying car, because it's a dream, looking down at a square patch of lawn in front of a large commercial building. And in the dream, I was, I saw myself down the bottom of the hill and I was in the flying car at the top of the hill. And I saw myself putting my foot on the accelerator and literally flying down that hill. And there was a girl, which was myself, another aspect of myself, waving her hands, trying to stop me. And I literally just flew over that fear. And I felt completely liberated. And when I woke, because it was a lucid dream or a vivid dream, I remembered every aspect of it. And I remember thinking over it and realizing that it was, there was a part of me that was completely uninhibited. And there was a part of me that was terrified. Would you believe the very next day, my husband Gerald stumbled across a listing for commercial space in Vic Park. And when I went to view it, I couldn't believe my eyes. The hills, the lawn, the building, it was all exactly as I'd seen in my dreams. With my business coach by my side, um, we walked through the space and envisioned how it could be transformed to meet my needs. The synchronicities were undeniable. So to put it into some perspective, It was extremely difficult to get times that would line up with my business coach. She was so busy and when I rang up it happened to be that the agent didn't have anything scheduled at the exact same time that I was free and I had back to back clients as well. And my business coach Marnie, was also available. So when we work with intuition and spirituality and we are on path, it's amazing how the universe conspires to support us. I always have this saying that when we take one step towards spirit, spirit takes 10 steps back towards us. So those synchronicities were undeniable. I signed a five year lease. and ran my business successfully from that center for five incredible years. So pushing through my fear, trusting my intuition and doing the work of self discovery were the keys to making that decision. The growth and the opportunities that followed were beyond any imagination. Anything I could have imagined. So let's talk now about how you can develop your intuition to make your own empowered decisions in life and in business. Here are a few tools to get started. So consider journaling for clarity. When faced with a decision, write down your fears, your beliefs, and your desires. This process helps uncover hidden patterns that may be Blocking your intuition. Setting intentions. Spend time visualizing what success looks and feels like for you. Intentions act as a magnet for intuitive insights. And the third step is listening to your body. Tune into how your body reacts to different possibilities. Listening to your body. Tune into how your body reacts to different possibilities. Often your gut instincts or heart will signal whether something feels aligned. When you combine these tools with self-development work, you create the space for intuition to flourish. It's a skill that just grows stronger with practice. Let's do a quick exercise to strengthen your connection to intuition. Take a deep breath in and out. Close your eyes if it's safe to do so. And think of a decision that you're currently facing. Now imagine two possible outcomes. As you visualize each one, notice how your body responds. Is there a sense of lightness or heaviness? Warmth or tension? Subtle signals are clues from your intuition. I often also consider does it feel like an expansion or do I feel a contraction? Quite often when we feel contracted, it could be because it's not the right step forward or because we've got fears that we need to address in order to make the choice that is aligned with our true path and purpose. Take another deep breath now and when you're ready, open your eyes. How did that feel? This exercise is a simple way to tune into your inner wisdom.
