You’ve heard the old saying “trust your gut!” referring to certain situations when you should rely on your intuition to make a decision. This is because studies on our gut, more specifically our enteric nervous system or (ENS) for short, which is a complex system of around 100 million nerves often referred to as our “second brain” have found evidence of what many of us already suspected: our brains and our guts “talk” to each other. Listen in as I talk with Business Visionary Ange DeLumiere who says that we can train our intuition and use that intuition to be better in business, and the great part is we can do it without meditation, crystals, or giving up wine. Drink of the day: June Shine Honey Ginger Lemon Kombucha!  Kombucha has been around for nearly 2,000 years. It was first brewed in China and then spread to Japan and Russia. It became popular in Europe in the early 20th century. Sales in the United States are on the rise because of its reputation as a health and energy drink.https://juneshine.com/collections/drinks/products/juneshine-honey-ginger-lemon?variant=34800994418821If you liked what you heard today, please leave a review and subscribe to the podcast.

A mantra is a word, a grouping of words, or sound(s), they are spoken or chanted aloud or they can be recited internally in your thoughts. By focusing the mind on one word, or thought, and nothing else, the mind stills, allowing what may be hidden to arise to our consciousness. Do they work? Well, many neuroscientists have proved that the repetitive sound and language of mantras can and do affect aspects of our life. So now I’m sitting here saying, great another thing for me to try to do and fail miserably at, another thing that I should be doing for myself but somehow can’t seem to get done. The truth is nothing, not even mantras are helpful if it forces you into some downward shame spiral of thinking that you suck because you can’t adopt them. Enter Deanna Seymour to talk about her failed journey with mantras and how she finally found one that stuck! Drink of the week: The Happy Buddha!https://tipsybartender.com/recipe/happy-buddha/If you liked what you heard today, please leave a review and subscribe to the podcast.

Have you heard of WooWoo? WooWoo is relating to or holding unconventional beliefs regarded as having little or no scientific basis, especially those relating to spirituality, mysticism, or alternative medicine.That doesn’t really sound like it has a place in your business strategy does it?

If we move away from the more scientific and structured basis of strategy, can there be a place for more unconventional methods towards career success. Welcome to the WooWoo series, where over the next three weeks we are going to talk to experts in the realms of numerology, mantras and intuition to see if that WooWoo stuff might actually help us find greater success.Drink of the week: WooWoo or if you prefer it’s full name, the Teeny Weeny WooWoo! https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/woo-wooIf you liked what you heard today, please leave a review and subscribe to the podcast.

I once found myself sitting in front of world renowned relationship therapist Esther Perel and ever since, I’ve been wondering, do our relationships in the bedroom affect our relationships in the boardroom. Does the confidence we have in our sexual relationships and the state of our sexual health affect all of our relationships and therefore our success.Listen is as I talk with Hallie LeBlanc, a sought after relationship and sex therapist. We discuss how we can begin to explore sexuality from a place of curiosity and remove the shame so often associated with it and how doing so might just improve all the parts of our lives. Drink of the day: The Screaming Orgasmhttps://www.food.com/recipe/screaming-orgasm-184631If you liked what you heard today, please leave a review and subscribe to the podcast.

Dale Carnegie, author of the self-help classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, published in 1936 said, “A person’s name is to that person the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” Over 8 decades later and that line still rings true especially in business. In short, remembering names is important because it makes the other person feel special. Additionally it shows that you value them, you’ve taken the time, even if it’s just a moment to listen to and remember their name. When you use a person’s name in conversation they also feel more comfortable with you and are more likely to open up to you. If you have ever struggled to remember names listen in for my 4 tricks to remember the name of every person you meet. Drink of the day: True North Eldewilde https://www.truenorthales.com/collections/our-beers-true-north-ale-company/products/elderwildeIf you liked what you heard today, please leave a review and subscribe to the podcast.
