15. How I Turned a Question into a Business: My Focus Gathering Story

One year ago, I hosted something I called a Focus Gathering—a powerful night of intention, community, and clarity that helped me move from swirling ideas to decisive action. It wasn’t a focus group. It was a gathering of trusted, diverse voices who helped reflect my own clarity back to me.And it worked.In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of that night—wine, snacks, whiteboards, and all—and show you how this experience became a turning point in my work and life. What began as a raw question (WTAF am I doing here?) became the catalyst for building Intuition Strategy:🃏 Corporate Tarot Cards®🎙️ This podcast🚀 The Clarity Sprint✍️ And an entire body of work rooted in intuition, strategy, and aligned resultsI also share how the gathering unintentionally mapped to the three stages of my Intuition Strategy® framework:* Trust Your Gut (HIT: Hear, Interpret, Trust)* Make Decisions (VIEW: Values, Insight, Empowerment, Wisdom)* Get Results (Taking aligned action, setting a focus, moving forward)You’ll also hear:* How I used the History of the Future exercise to tap into wisdom across all life domains* Why I curated a diverse group of women to reflect multidimensional leadership* The moment I realized I was already practicing the very frameworks I was building* And how your own clarity might be waiting to be witnessed✨ Plus, I leave you with a reflective exercise and a challenge:What’s the next right thing your intuition is whispering to you—and who could help reflect it back?Heads up: This episode includes some strong language used with intention to reflect the original framing of my Substack and gathering.
