Beyond Goal Setting | LaRae Wright on Intuition, Presence & Letting Business Grow Through You

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, LaRae Wright joins Tessa Arneson and Rocky Donati on the Heart + Head Work podcast for a powerful conversation about moving beyond traditional goal setting and learning to live, work, and grow from a grounded sense of self. This conversation explores presence, intuition, receiving, self-worth, business growth, and the shift from constantly striving toward success to allowing life and work to unfold through deeper inner knowing.LaRae shares her journey from corporate life into intuitive entrepreneurship, the moment she began moving from overthinking into trust, and how redefining success changed the way she approached business, purpose, and personal growth. Together, they discuss why rigid goals can sometimes limit possibility, how receiving differs from chasing, and what becomes possible when you stop letting business drive your life and begin building from who you truly are.Timestamps[03:57] How Tessa, Rocky, and LaRae are doing[09:00] What Tessa’s grandfather revealed to her during meditation[10:02] How Tessa and LaRae first met[11:40] LaRae’s background information[15:02] LaRae’s journey from the corporate life to being present[19:08] How LaRae grew her sense of self[20:40] The earliest moment that LaRae shifted from thinking to knowing[23:58] How to be better about receiving versus hunting[30:28] Not letting business drive your life[37:31] LaRae’s business, which used intuition and was successful[40:54] Knowing your drive [51:53] Learning from your adversities[01:00:13] Episode wrap-up[01:04:25] The upcoming ‘You Are The Medicine’ retreat that LaRae is hostingNotable quotes:“All you have to do is show up and be yourself.” - Rocky Donati [04:52]“The sense of self is our strongest asset.” - Rocky Donati [17:54]“Setting goals narrows the potentiality of what is out there for you.” - LaRae Wright [30:19]“The answer is all about the gifts that you have, the way you see the world, the story that you have created, and how you live in the world.” - LaRae Wright [49:39]“Grow down so you can become the original version of yourself that was so big and beautiful.” - Rocky Donati [01:06:37]Relevant links:Heart + Head Work Podcast Apple PodcastSubscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions
