    4 Steps to Tapping into your Intuition and Discovering your Empathic ways with Author Ciara Rubin

    4 Steps to Tapping into your Intuition and Discovering your Empathic ways with Author Ciara Rubin

    Life is full of tough choices. We often rely on facts and logic to make these decisions. But we sometimes forget about our gut feeling. This inner sense, or intuition, can offer deep insights beyond regular thinking. Trusting our intuition doesn't mean ignoring logic. It's about understanding that not all answers come from facts or deep thinking. Sometimes, it's the quiet voice inside us that shows us the way.
     
    Today’s guest Ciara Rubin's story is one that speaks of the power of embracing one's intuition amidst the hustle of everyday life. Once too preoccupied with family, fitness, and finances to heed her inner voice, Ciara embarked on a journey of self-discovery that led her to trust her intuition with unwavering confidence.

    Permission to Kick-a$& with Angie Colee

    When the world often tells us what success looks like, believing in our own skills and potential can be tough. Doubts creep in, making us question if we're good enough to stand out and be proud of what we've achieved. But finding what we're truly good at is vital and possible. Embracing what we're great at is about celebrating our unique selves.
     
    Today, I’m thrilled to have business mentor Angie Colee on the show. Angie says her big life mission is: “I don't want a single creator, creative entrepreneur, or creative service provider to go to their grave thinking they're not enough, or will never figure this business thing out.”

More than simply “stories”

April is a champion for women making their mark, and her podcast covers a HUUUUUGE range of topics that boil down to: it’s safe to tell your story, it’s safe to be seen, it’s safe to believe in & achieve your goals.

Love her engaging conversations- never feels “interview-ey”…and you’ll walk away not only motivated but with actual how tos to take action. 💥
