What if the voice telling you to 'be responsible' is actually holding you back from your best life?

I almost let my perfectly color-coded calendar rob me of one of the most soul-filling experiences of my year—all because my ego brain insisted it was "too much"

Main Content: Fresh off a trip abroad and knee-deep in the demands of work, parenting, and a packed schedule, I was faced with a choice: stick to my safe, predictable routine or say yes to an unplanned, whirlwind trip to see my best friend and meet her new baby.

In this episode of Return on Intuition, I'm opening up about the internal tug-of-war between my "ego brain" that clings to structure and that deeper knowing that urged me to just GO. I'll share how leaning into that instinct—despite the logistical chaos—brought soul-level joy, strengthened my trust in myself, and reminded me why the smallest, most spontaneous decisions can be life-changing.

Whether you're contemplating a major life shift or simply craving more alignment in your day-to-day, this story is your reminder: intuition thrives when we have the courage to act.

💡 THE BIG INSIGHT: The decisions that scare your ego often feed your soul the most.
