How to Trust Your Intuition When You’re Running on Empty
from Flourishing Edge Podcast with Ashish Kothari
Cortney McDermott had the titles, the accolades, and the corporate jet and she was, in her own words, "miserably successful."In this episode, the two-time author joins Ashish Kothari to unpack why you can't win the game of externally sourced success, and how to trust your intuition when you're running on empty.You'll walk away with three deceptively simple practices - rest, movement, and yes, yawning - that change your state in minutes and turn the volume back up on your intuition.What You Will Learn:1. Source your success from the inside, not the outside.2. Responsibility is your ability to respond, not your share of the blame.3. When you're overwhelmed, don't add more. Lie down.4. Change your state before you try to change your story.5. Treat your intuition as a faculty to develop, not a fluke.Episode Chapters:1:31 - From corporate success to inner transformation5:49 - When “having it all” still feels empty11:49 — Why real change begins within23:39 — Three practical ways to reconnect with yourself33:02 — Cultivating intuition in a distracted worldResources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Cortney McDermottRecommended Reading: Give Yourself Permission:Be Confident.
