Episode notes

Do you ever feel like you’re building a business based on someone else’s blueprint rather than what feels authentic to you?

Following strategies that don’t quite sit right.

Building relationships that just feel… off.

Pushing yourself down a path that looks good on paper, but feels heavy and draining.

If this sounds familiar, you probably need to reconnect with your intuition.

In this episode, I’m joined by leadership coach Liza Leiss, and we’re diving into how to reconnect with your intuition and build a business that actually feels good to run - while still achieving your goals.

Covered in this episode:

What really creates fulfillment in your life.
