Why Your Intuition Knows Before You Do and how to profit on LinkedIn - Paige Goldstein | 118

Send us Fan MailMost people don’t fail because they lack discipline.They fail because they ignore themselves.In this episode of The Grateful Podcast, Jack sits down with Paige Goldstein, founder of The Ripple Effect, to explore why intuition often speaks before logic—and what happens when you finally listen.Paige shares the moment a somatic breathwork session in Cape Town made it undeniable that it was time to leave her dream corporate job, even though she had no clear plan for what was next. Together, they unpack why slowing down creates clarity, how fear acts as a compass rather than a stop sign, and why so many ambitious people feel lost despite “doing everything right.”This conversation goes far beyond career advice. It’s about identity, authenticity, gratitude, and the cost of living out of alignment—especially in a world obsessed with optimization, formulas, and external validation.If you’ve ever felt driven but restless, successful but disconnected, or called to something deeper you can’t yet explain, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.In this episode, we explore:Why intuition speaks before logicHow stillness reveals what busyness hidesFear as a compass, not a warningThe hidden reason ambitious people feel emptyAuthenticity vs formulas in content creationWhy LinkedIn is uniquely powerful for soul-led creatorsThe danger of outsourcing your voice to AIGratitude as identity, not just appreciationCreating success that feels easeful, not forcedTimestamps:00:00 – Welcome & aligned missions01:28 – The breathwork moment that changed everything05:04 – Slowing down vs taking action06:28 – Fear as a compass08:00 – Social fear & belonging10:17 – Reprogramming the subconscious13:25 – Authenticity and The Ripple Effect15:58 – Why LinkedIn is the hardest—and best—platform17:19 – Inner work vs outer work18:39 – Throat chakra & truthful expression22:06 – AI, content, and losing the soul24:46 – Why people crave feeling over information26:04 – Finding your unique voice27:53 – Art vs formulas30:18 – 1,000 true fans & sustainability33:58 – Purpose vs chasing outcomes35:16 – Early signs of alignment37:46 – Gratitude as transformation40:29 – Why LinkedIn is different43:25 – Energy > optimization46:06 – Choosing the right creation medium49:23 – Gratitude + ambition52:49 – Final reflections► Get my gratitude protocol (From Burnt Out to Grateful – $10)Transform your identity, energy, and purpose using the exact practices that rebuilt my life: https://jackwagoner.gumroad.com/l/burnt-out-to-grateful► WAGONER20 for 20% off Magic Mind Mental Performance shots and 48% off subscriptions ⬇https://www.magicmind.com/WAGONER20► Connect with PaigeLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/paigegoldstein📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL7rwtc5s_KcTZMHSJng-FQSubscribe for more deep conversations with thinkers, seekers, and soulful creators. 🙏⸻🧠 More from Jack:Newsletter (Magic, Meaning & Momentum): https://magic.beehiiv.com/v1/aa6b0945-43aa-43c8-b320-0fde6998f852?email=%7B%7Bemail%7D%7DInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jack_wagoner_/1:1 Coaching & Dream-Chasing Guidance: [email protected]💬 If you found this conversation meaningful, send it to a friend and leave a review.
