Episode 111: The Same Tool: Planning and Intuition

By what method to you guide and structure story? This episode aims to take down any dichotomy between planning and accessing your intuition. Angie and Elizabeth delve into right- and left-brain approaches and exercises that can help you dig a framework out of your unconscious. Yes, make lists, but gut check them. We resist intuition because it’s vulnerable and scary, so they offer strategies for moving forward toward fear. Let the constraints lead you to greater freedom, and connect deeply with what matters to you most, because that will sustain you.
