Intuitive Founders Studio

In this episode, I’m kicking off a 4-part mini series on how to focus better as an intuitive founder — starting with one of the most overlooked reasons we lose focus: over-functioning . If you’ve been feeling scattered, drained, or constantly pulled into responsibilities that aren’t actually yours, this episode will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface — and why it makes focusi...

In this episode, I'm unpacking an essential thought work skill to help you move past the comparison trap. This is an essential skill we need at this time of year, when social pressure, holiday expectations, and end-of-year reflections can make our brains feel especially anxious. If you’ve been feeling “behind,” “not enough,” or pulled off your own path by what you see others doing, this episod...

In this episode, I am re-sharing one of my early, well-received episodes on the power of pleasure.

In this episode, we explore the real work behind building a purpose-driven business and why founders who lead with vision, depth, and intuition often struggle not because they lack talent, but because they’re doing it without support. If you’re growing a business, a project, or a creative calling that matters deeply to you, this episode will help you understand why coaching isn’t something you add...

In this episode, we unpack one of the most subtle but powerful mindset traps for purpose-driven founders — the way our brains turn business statistics into self-doubt. You’ll hear why numbers like “Only 20% of businesses succeed” can trigger feelings of failure or fear, and how much of that comes from the dominant hustle-culture narrative that defines success by how fast you make money — not by ho...

In this episode, we explore one of the most common thought patterns behind emotional activation — catastrophizing — those moments when your mind rushes to imagine the worst-case scenario, trying to keep you safe but instead leaving you anxious and tense. Together, we’ll look at why catastrophizing happens, what it costs us emotionally and mentally, and how to move through it with more awareness an...

In this episode, we explore what it really means to feel emotionally activated — those everyday moments when a small comment or silence stirs a much bigger emotional reaction than expected. I share a personal story about how I recently turned one of these moments into an opportunity for self-understanding and release, and how you can do the same. Together, we’ll look at how leaning into discomfort...

In this episode, we explore what burnout really means — beyond exhaustion or overwork — and how group coaching can help you recover your focus, calm, and motivation. I share a step-by-step approach to resetting burnout by first recognizing its signs, then processing the feelings in your body, and finally working with the thought patterns that keep you trapped in the cycle of stress and self-pressu...

In this episode, we explore what it really means to drop your mask — the version of ourselves we wear to earn love, respect, or approval — and how group coaching can help us practice being seen without it. I share a story from a coaching session where my client realized she was holding herself back out of fear of family judgment, and how using radical acceptance helped her find relief and reconnec...

In this episode, I’m diving into a must-have mindset shift that can transform how you respond to life’s unfairness and frustrations.

You’ll learn the twin concepts of radical acceptance and radical responsibility , and how practicing them helps yo...

This week, I’m sharing reflections from my recent coaching challenge, A Season of Change: Thrive in Transition — and what surprised me most. During the challenge, something powerful happened.

You’re also invited to join me in my...

This week, I continue the conversation I started 2 weeks ago about how to make sure that you are pursuing your goals instead of fantasizing about them. If last week’s episode helped you sit with hard feelings of transitions, this week we’re taking the next step: giving meaning to your transitions. Building on Episode 6, I introduce the Story Chapter practice to help you see your current season as...

Transitions aren’t just about new beginnings — they also bring hard feelings we often just want to ignore: fear of the unknown, shame about not being “further along,” and grief for the masks and identities we’ve outgrown. If last week’s episode helped you see the difference between real goals and shiny fantasies, this conversation will give you the emotional foundation you need to actually navigat...

There’s a big difference between having a real goal and chasing a fantasy — and knowing the difference can save you time and energy. In this episode, I explore why we sometimes get caught in the loop of fantasizing about success instead of taking steps toward our goals, and I share practical ways to shift out of it. This episode complements episode 5 & 6 in supporting you to set and achieve yo...
