Feeling mentally cluttered as you head into the new year? You're not alone, and you don't have to stay stuck there.

In this episode of Intuition: Your Joy Compass, I'm welcoming 2026 with a deep breath, a hopeful heart, and one powerful word: Clarity. After a bumpy 2025, I'm reflecting on how tuning in, rather than buying into outside noise, can help you access real direction, especially if you're a woman navigating business, life, and everybody else's opinions.

We're talking about:

The trap of mental noise and how it blocks intuitive decision-making
The "house of they" (you know, them) and how to evict their voices from your brain
How your inner critic thrives on chaos—and how to lovingly show it the door
Why a single word of the year can help anchor your joy and focus
Practical tools to shift from spiraling to self-led, even when life feels loud

This episode is packed with real-life stories, powerful reframes, and gentle yet practical support for anyone ready to turn down the volume on the inner critic and make space for clarity, joy, and aligned choices.

🎧 Listen now and choose your word, your intention, and your joy.

Then learn more about my eight-week program, Living in Clarity, for those ready to rewire their brains and live with steady intuition and self-trust.

Joy doesn't mean perfect; it means present.

In this episode of Intuition: Your Joy Compass, we explore how joy isn't something to chase; it's something to allow, even when the dishes aren't done and the world feels a bit off-kilter. I share how joy became confusing for me growing up, but also how it's become the compass I now live by (with plenty of humor, horse metaphors, and real-life examples included).

We'll talk about how calm intention makes space for joy, why your joy is never selfish, and how to stop performing happiness and start feeling it instead. Whether you're managing a business, a team, or your own wild calendar, there's room for everyday joy, and I'll show you how to find it in even the messiest of moments.

In the first episode of Intuition: Your Joy Compass, I'm inviting you into a conversation that's been years (and about 300 episodes!) in the making. We're not here to escape the human experience; we're here to integrate it with our soul's joy and live more fully because of it.

I share what joy actually looks like in real life, not the performative kind, but the grounded, soul-led version that shows up in dog walks, needle felting, and choosing peace over perfection. You'll hear practical tools for tuning into joy through your body, mindset, and intuition, even in the messy moments.

If you're a woman in business or life reinvention mode, and you've ever wondered how to stop chasing success and start feeling aligned, this episode is your sign.

🎧 Listen now and start living with clarity.
