How to Use Intuition When Everything's Changing (Fall Transitions, Leadership & Letting Go)

What if the restlessness you feel during transitions—new seasons, career shifts, life changes—isn't anxiety, but your intuition trying to guide you forward?

What if I told you that my biggest breakthroughs in business and life came not from pushing through transitions, but from learning to read them like a map? For years, I fought against change. I white-knuckled through career pivots, motherhood transitions, even seasonal shifts—believing that control equaled success. But here's what I discovered: when I stopped forcing outcomes and started flowing with natural rhythms, my intuition became my competitive advantage.

In this episode, I'm sharing how fall taught me to trust transitions, why my running career revealed the power of letting go, and how leadership lessons from Coach K and elite athletes transformed my approach to business and intuition.

🎯 What You'll Learn:

• Why transitions are your intuition's strongest moments (and how to listen)
• The surprising connection between seasonal changes and business breakthroughs
• How elite athletes use intuition to outperform pure talent
• The Kundalini practice that changed my relationship with control
• Why "forcing it" blocks success and "flowing" accelerates it
• Simple ways to distinguish between fear and intuitive guidance during change

💡 Key Takeaway: Transitions aren't obstacles to overcome—they're invitations to evolve. When you honor the season you're in (literally and metaphorically), your intuition becomes clearer and your path forward reveals itself.

Perfect for: Leaders navigating change, entrepreneurs in transition, working parents juggling seasons of life, and anyone who wants to trust their gut during uncertain times.
