hey, butterscotch pop.

yesterday i planned on doing a side job, but felt called to something else instead

intuitive cues came by way of a shifted weather forecast + a sense of what i felt more lit up to do instead

and listen — sometimes there are absolutely things we must do at certain times. intuition-driven decisionmaking isn’t about avoiding those

it’s about, when there’s room (and when you can make room), allowing yourself to stop fighting your longings + start following them confidently — as an act of self-love + smart strategy combined

it’s about going beyond not being mad at yourself for indulging a joy, to wholeheartedly embracing it

it’s about freeing yourself from the false notion that it’s better to do without the joy in the first place

and then going one sexy step further + being so bold as to believe there is WISDOM in the joy, that pivoting to the joyful thing makes solid business sense BEYOND the self-care points it garners

this is a choice + a practice. you can build momentum, strength + competency in it by daring to trust the joyful option… then paying attention to what happens next

notice the new business that comes in as a result, or the conversation that gets sparked, or the swiftness with which the other work happens when you DO do it

follow the thread from this decision to that success, directly or through a series of causes + effects

let yourself be showered with small + large symbols + signals that you’re on the right track

receive them like eager nods of encouragement, glittering firework displays of celebration, deep calming breaths, inside jokes, warm hugs

here’s a sneak peek into what this looked like for me yesterday:

i received intuitive stimulus: a shifted weather forecast sparked an idea to change my plan that felt right in my body even though it wasn’t the most practical decision on paper

then i went through a series of checks to test for resonance + rightness:

i gave the idea some space (i slept on it + it still felt right)
i tried NOT pivoting on for size, to see what wisdom my body had for me (i felt tight in my belly instead of light in my soul at NOT making the change)
i brought out with me what i would need for a pivot BACK, just in case (to ensure the decision remained guided by intuition + not circumstance)

then i made it my business to notice any symbols or signals that felt like encouragement, validation, and celebration:

i got a message from a repeat client, introducing me to another potential new client or collaborator (i spotted the notification right after i made the decision)
i felt the warm welcoming energy from staff where i went
i felt the loveliest light breeze after several sweltering days, made more glorious by the doors being opened wide on either side of me shortly after i got there
i was super productive + focused, completing several things beautifully (including the bulk of this email)

all day long i felt light, fueled, joyfully in “the zone”

feel like that sounds lovely, but no idea how to actually DO it?

i’ve broken the process down into 5 simple, repeatable steps. if you’d love to check em out — hit reply + tell me something about your experience with intuition-driven decisionmaking!

some ideas:

a story about how following your intuition led to something amazing
one where NOT following it led to something LESS than amazing
something that felt like a sign of encouragement to you that maybe you’ve been hesitant to talk about because you think it might sound silly
something fun, meaningful, scary or powerful about you + your intuition
anything in this email that lit you up or poked your inner sceptic
whatever the hell else you feel called to share!

can’t wait to hear from you, and have a most fab day
