Most leaders don't have an intuition problem. They have a discernment problem.

You've been getting signals. You've been sensing when something's off. You KNOW when a decision doesn't sit right.

But you can't tell the difference between your survival brain screaming "Stay safe!" and your inner wisdom whispering "This is the way."

So you ignore it. Override it. Ask everyone else's opinion. And six months later? You're thinking, "I KNEW I shouldn't have done that."

That inner doubt isn't just frustrating. It's expensive. It's the partnerships that drain you. The hires that don't work out. The opportunities you say yes to that pull you further from what matters.

In this episode, we go deep on Pillar #2: Intuitive Discernment—your compass. You'll discover:

• The difference between instinct (survive) and intuition (thrive)—and why confusing them costs you
• The Relief vs. Resonance Framework: How Wall Street's best make aligned decisions
• The 3-question diagnostic to know if you're following fear or wisdom
• Real stories: The 7-figure entrepreneur who almost burned out his team and the dentist who chose health over industry standards
• The Intuitive Audit: A 4-question practice to develop discernment now
• The Body Compass Practice: A simple tool you can use between meetings

Self-trust isn't a personality trait you're born with. It's a skill you BUILD. When you distinguish fear from wisdom, you stop second-guessing yourself.

"Self-trust isn't something you're born with. It's something you BUILD."

What if the business strategy you're following is perfectly designed... for someone else's values?

You're successful on paper. You're hitting the metrics. Checking the boxes. But inside? You feel empty. Not because you're doing it wrong—but because you're building on the wrong foundation.

In this episode, we go forensic on Pillar #1: Values—the foundation of every Conscious Business Model.

You'll discover:

1. The 3 types of values violations (and which one is silently draining your energy)
2. The Buffet Metaphor: Why you're letting everyone else fill your plate—and how to take it back
3. The 8-figure CEO who went from begging for a raise to designing a 7-figure buyout—in 45 minutes of values work
4. The Complete Values Integrity Audit: A 15-minute diagnostic that reveals exactly where your foundation is cracked
5. The 3 ways to honor your values (without blowing up your entire life)
6. Why "future you" is pissed about the compromises you're making today

Real talk: You didn't survive everything you've survived just to spend the rest of your life living someone else's values. That's not resilience—that's resignation.

If you're ready to stop building on borrowed blueprints and start building something that's actually yours, this episode will show you exactly where to start.

FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE:

1. The cost of values violations (and why your body knows before your mind does)
2. How one CEO pivoted from wage negotiation to 7-figure exit in a single session
3. The "parking lot client" who hadn't even given herself permission to be hungry
4. Why most people do the audit—then do nothing (and how to break the pattern)

"You didn't survive everything you've survived just to spend the rest of your life living someone else's values. That's not resilience. That's resignation."

"Once you see it on paper, you can't un-know it. And that's exactly the point."
