What if being an intuitive business owner didn't
mean that you have to look acertain way or have all the same
practices or tools as peoplethat you see doing it on social
media?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
In this episode, we're pulling back the veil on
what it really means to run anintuitive business no labels, no
pressure, just the magic offollowing your own internal
guidance.
No matter if you are a Reikihealer or a bookkeeper, you can
be an intuitive entrepreneur.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hey there friends, welcome to the Intuitive
Marketing Podcast, where weditch the bro marketing BS and
bring you big sister vibesinstead.
I'm Meg.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And this is Chelsea, your new biz besties.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
We met on TikTok in 2023.
Fast forward to now and we haveteamed up here to guide you
through the wild world ofmarketing your business with
heart and soul.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Are you feeling lost or overwhelmed, maybe unsure of
your next steps, but you have abig vision of where your
coaching, healing, speaking orwriting career could be in the
next five years, 10 years.
Don't worry, we've got yourback.

We'll help you tap into yourintuition, build a brand that
lights you up and leverageproven marketing strategies to
grow towards a six or even sevenfigure business in a way that
(01:11):
won't make you cringe.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're actually here to help you bring the magic back
into your marketing.
Because marketing should feelgood, not gross Grab your
favorite drink get comfy andlet's get started.
Favorite drink get comfy andlet's get started.
So it's been a couple yearssince I kind of rebranded myself
online as the intuitivebusiness mentor handle on social
media and when I did that itwas very much a stepping into a
(01:37):
new level of connectedness forme, even if I didn't really know
it at the time.
But I also because I wasputting that word intuitive I
kind of self-imposed pressure onmyself that nobody else was
saying but that I needed to gobuy new flowy clothes and invest
in different tools and I dostill use some of the tools,
like a sound bowl and newcrystals.
(01:58):
But I put this pressure onmyself that I needed to have a
new photo shoot before I couldlike to launch this brand and
that I just had to look acertain way.
And if someone's listening tothis and puts the same pressure,
you get what that is used todaya pendulum that I bought that
for that photo shoot and there'sa really lovely picture of me
holding it and I didn't feel.
(02:21):
It almost felt okay.
This photo shoot has to lookdifferent than everything else
that I've done, because before Ihave quote unquote been more
professional and now quote,unquote.
I'm stepping into more using myintuition and so, while it was
authentic, it was this feelingthat I had that I wasn't enough
or I wasn't like demonstratingmy intuition enough unless it
(02:43):
looked like I was.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It totally makes sense and I've felt the same way
and I think that when we leaninto that way of running
business, we then feel like wehave to infuse it into all of
our marketing and the way thatit all looks and it's yeah, you
could be an intuitive bookkeeperwithout even calling yourself
that.
Like, you don't have to.
We feel like, as much as welike to step out of the boxes,
(03:07):
we feel like we have to putourselves in a box to be
understood.
So when I was doing my Reikiteaching and life coaching, like
I felt the exact same way.
I did a photo shoot, which wasa beautiful photo shoot, and I
felt very authentic, but it'slike I wore this white flowy
dress and it was like what?
Like what messaging am I tryingto put out?
I guess I'm trying to put outthis message that here, look at
(03:28):
me, I am intuitive, like I wantyou to get that.
And I didn't think that wouldcome across if I was wearing a
blazer, or yeah, but then it'sthe same thing.
Like I wrote a post onInstagram this week about you
don't always have to be wearinga blazer to be a business coach
type vibe too.
So it's very clearly we putourselves, we put these like
restrictions on ourselves and wehave to strip those away.
(03:51):
We're invited to, we're allowedto strip those away and be
multifaceted and still be ableto, you know, delineate
ourselves from the other peoplethat are doing similar work.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And I think that's true because you and I both have
done extensive training withintuitive practices of all kinds
and but even if we were justdoing it for our personal
experience, exactly Like even ifwe weren't saying we help
business owners bring intuitioninto their practice, we could
still be intuitive in our day today and how we make business
(04:27):
decisions, without even tellinganybody if we wanted to.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Correct, and that's where I have a lot of people
reach out to me of I, this ishow I've always run my business
and I just I didn't realize.
Other people did it becausethey're functional nutritionist
or they are, it doesn't't matter.
They're all different practicesthat they're using intuition
and oftentimes we feel like weeither have to share it publicly
(04:51):
, like valid enough, or and youdon't, and it is this level of
self-trust that I think we'regetting at the core.
So, like the core of it is liketrusting yourself enough to say
I am intuitive.
This is how I run my business,because I truly believe, like
all humans are.
It's not a mask we put on, it'snot a outfit that we wear to
(05:14):
like embody.
We just happen to use it alsoto teach our people how to show
up in there and be visibleonline.
Use it in their copywritingonline.
Use it in their copywriting.
However, use it in theirmarketing.
But you can be an intuitiveentrepreneur and not necessarily
be teaching it to anybody else.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And I think I see this in a lot of conversations
and group coaching inside of ourintuitive business community,
where it's really lovely thatmany of the women who've come
into our community havedifferent paths of how they have
ingrained intuition into theirday-to-day or been exposed to or
not exposed to certain ways,and I think it's just a really
(05:53):
fun space that we've createdbecause there is that curiosity
where there's another womannamed Chelsea who's been in the
membership since it launched andI can just see on her face when
she will hear another membertalk about maybe something that
they do to bring intuition and Ididn't even know that was a
thing like now I want to goresearch it and it's so lovely
when you can just see peoplemaking it their own and breaking
(06:17):
through some of these myths.
That so much and I go throughthis too like so much of
exploring how do I call it?
Like it back, welcoming myintuition back, because I feel
like where I witness kiddos allthe time playing with my son and
some kids, it's immediatelybeaten out of them, not in a
physical sense, but don't, yeah.
(06:38):
Other kids doing that, I'mhearing, and I really try not to
do that with my son, so I thinkI bring some awareness to it,
just witnessing it with kids.
But I can think back to mychildhood, phases of my life
where I really did trust myintuition, and then phases of my
life where I definitely did not, and the pros and cons mostly
cons when I have made decisionsin life and in business where I
(07:03):
was not trusting my intuition orwelcoming it in, and how that
spiraled off into differentphases of my life.
And I think it's just a goodreminder that intuition isn't
about appearances or externalfactors.
It's about what helps you trustyour inner compass more.
And I often think about it as arelationship.
(07:24):
If I was friends, if I thinkabout my intuition as being like
a separate entity as me, and ifI was friends with that, if I
embodied it as a person, if thiswas a person and I was friends
with them and they kept tellingme their opinion on something
that I should be doing and Ijust kept ignoring it, like
eventually they're not going towant to share their opinion and
so if your intuition is givingyou nudges and giving you signs
(07:47):
and you're just constantlyignoring it, that relationship
doesn't feel very welcoming toyour intuition.
And I do think that there's waysto bring intuition into your
day to day, even if it's not apart of your marketing or what
you offer at all.
You could be an accountant thatprivately pulls Oracle cards to
help you decide changing thepricing of your packages, like
(08:08):
you could be using it to makedecisions about your business
and never tell anybody.
Or you could just be a busy momwho also has a coaching
practice, and maybe you're usingastrology or your menstrual
cycle to plan launch dates, likethat's another way of welcoming
that side back in.
Or an energy healer that blendsbusiness strategy with spirit
(08:29):
guidance.
There's just so many ways,whether you're holding it out as
something you offer or not, ortalking about it as something
that you do in your business ornot, and feeling what feels
right for you.
But welcoming it in littleglimmers, I think, is really
what we hope.
The movement we hope to createis giving permission to do that,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, and I think it's about also understanding
that it could look different foreverybody, just like how you
said, how they use it, andthere's never going to be like
one right way of okay, this ishow you use intuition in your
business, right?
Your intuition is your gutfeeling.
It's like how your you speak toyourself, like how your energy
(09:14):
works, how all these differentpieces that takes time to get in
quiet, takes time to, to learn,to relearn again, like you said
, like inviting it back becausethere has been so much that has
turned it off and I think thereis because of like the world we
live into.
A lot of times we even knowwhat we should intuitively be
doing, right, but we can't quitthat multiple six-figure job
(09:38):
because of the golden handcuffsor we can't, yeah, yeah.
So there's understanding thateverybody's is going to be a
little bit different and youhave to spend the time to get
quiet and learn how yours speaksto you and also trusting that,
even if it looks different thananother entrepreneur, it's still
valid and it's still reallyimportant and like letting it
(10:03):
show up in different ways andthen trusting that and acting on
it.
So maybe you can't leave thesix-figure job while you're
building your side hustle, butyou can take the little steps.
Start an email list, startposting on social media,
whatever it might be, whateveryour intuition is telling you
will feel like a good,supportive.
(10:23):
Next step, and then the otherpart of that, too, is trusting
that.
It's like not going to be thisloud thunderbolt.
Most of the time.
It's very mundane and it's verylittle shifts, and what I try
to remember and go back to islike that analogy that I'm not
going to get like perfect at all, but it's like the airplane
that's riding like one, drivingone degree to the left yeah, is
(10:46):
going to end up 300 miles awaythen.
So it's that wasn't.
Somebody could say that a lotmore clearly than me, but
hopefully you're at the point.
It's these micro moments thathappen throughout the day yeah
and that trust, that just thatlittle sign.
so maybe it's a sign like afeather, or maybe it's a sign
(11:06):
that comes through in journaling.
Those things are important andwe're so used to the big flashy.
You know you want thethunderbolt to come, you want
the God to sit in front of youand tell you this is the path.
And tell this like miraculousstory.
And that's just not how ithappens for most people.
Tell this like miraculous storyand that's just not how it
(11:27):
happens for most people.
So trusting that quiet, mundanemagic that is happening every
day is truly leading you is themost valuable thing that you can
do.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, and I find you've been very inspiring to me
of finding the magic in themundane, even just little
self-care things or setting up.
You've shared pictures beforeof like just setting up very
simple little ritual spaces inthe middle of your kitchen
instead of having a separatespace for it, and like even just
treating yourself to flowersand putting them in a beautiful
vase, and like spending a couplemoments lighting a candle for
(11:56):
that.
Like just finding within thebusy days, because for many of
us, many of our members andclients, it's not like we were
sitting around eating bonbonsand then said, oh, I would love
to fill this time with running abusiness.
It's like you're running abusiness, you're living life,
and then if you want to bringmore intuitive practices in,
like it can't be this big ordealor you're not going to do it or
(12:19):
do it consistently.
Yeah, like little intentions, Ithink.
For me, just that pressure thepressure both you and I felt
around how we had to look for asocial media issue.
Right, we need to talk aboutthe fears of not being quote,
unquote intuitive enough to beworthy of creating a movement,
whether you're saying out loudthat you are an intuitive blah
(12:42):
blah, blah Right, fill in theblank or not.
It's really about looking at wecan be in business, right?
The patriarchy wants us tothink that this is not true, but
we can be in business as women,trusting our intuition,
welcoming in the receiving andallowing that to coexist with
data and strategy andtraditional business practices.
(13:04):
It doesn't have to be an eitheror, and I think that sometimes
it can go too far, like I'vedefinitely seen and witnessed,
almost like in my opinion.
I'll just share, in my opinion,a toxic conversation in the
online coaching space where it'sall a money mindset issue or
it's all because you're notspending 30 minutes every day in
(13:25):
meditation.
And some of these, I would saygurus, like rising up in social
media, especially in the pastfive, six years, with big
visibility around topics thatpeople crave, like we crave
community, crave support aroundhow to be more intuitive.
We crave like the red tent,like the circle of women, our
bodies and our epigenetics, likeremember that and crave that,
(13:47):
and so I feel like there havebeen some voices in this space
that rise up and make you feellike it's only practices that
will make you successful and itcompletely ignoring strategy,
and I think I've just seen someof those, in particular, some of
those accounts where it's likethey're just feeding on, selling
you the next thing, because youalways feel broken, because
you're not like on the otherside of being intuitive enough I
(14:10):
think that's part of thisconversation too is I think some
people have been turned off byit because of some of those
voices.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, and I think that they are.
The thing is that they're notsaying they're using strategy,
but they are because, likethey're so focused on the
aesthetic, you can grow anInstagram.
If you have an aesthetic vibearound intuition and you have
you could grow an Instagram veryquickly.
It doesn't mean that there'sgoing to be a ton of truth value
(14:38):
Maybe not also but there isstrategy that's involved that
helps these people grow and theybasically make it sound like
they're just sitting backcollecting money and taking
pictures, yeah and that's nothow it is at all.
I've really, you know, and we'veworked behind the scenes with
some bigger brands, people whohave done this before, and
(14:59):
they're also there's a lot ofstrategy that goes into it.
Yeah, and it's not somethingthat you have to in.
Inviting intuition more intoyour life, more into your
business is not a club where,like you should have to always
be paying for like to learnRight.
We want to empower people to totrust themselves, and sometimes
(15:21):
that does mean learning a fewpractice and learning a few.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
There's nothing, being exposed to something and
then following that thread ifyou're really Exactly, I think
is really powerful.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I think it's also powerful to be paying for myself
, to be paying to set the timeaside.
Essentially, we we both are inone of our friends, exo spirit
with Melissa, and she hasmonthly circles and that helps
me carve out the time.
It's not that I feel like Ihave to be learning or paying to
(15:56):
be in something.
It helps me hold that boundaryand hold that time secret.
So, while it is important, makesure that you're following
people that are empowering youto tune in in that way and not,
oh, you have to join this nextthing to learn the newest
technology.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Right, or you'll be behind, or wrong.
Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Definitely practice in a way that feels good to you
and make that decision from Iwant to versus oh, I need to do
this in order to get to the nextlevel, right.
So our movement is really aboutteaching business owners how to
find their own unique brand ofintuition, how to blend that
into their life, their marketing, however it feels good to them.
(16:39):
And that's why I often sharethe non-aesthetic side of
creating ritual creating becauseI don't have a builder grade
middle of utah influencer house.
I just don't.
That's not like what I do.
Meditation sometimes like in thecar, in the parking lot of the
(17:02):
hiking trail in our town becauseI like to be around the trees
but I don't want to sit in themassachusetts cold middle of the
walking trail with 20 people onit.
Practical, exactly.
There's a practice like itwould be beautiful to have a
meditation room and all of thesethings, but it's not reality
for a lot of people.
So I want I show that, becauseI want people to say, oh, wait a
(17:25):
second.
Ok, if she could do it, then Ican do this too.
I can just put like my bathtub.
I'm six feet tall, I don't.
I hardly even fit in my bathtub, but I used to always like show
pictures of it.
It was definitely notaesthetically pleasing, but I
would have some salts, I wouldhave a candle, I would have some
.
I'd show you that.
Don't keep putting it off.
Don't keep saying I will bemore connected in my intuition
(17:48):
when I will be like you couldtake two minutes even if you
have three kids under five yearsold, like I did when I put them
all in the car seat, would notturn my car on yet, but I would
close my eyes, I would groundmyself and that would be one
minute.
That was it, but it was oneminute more than I did the day
before.
Yeah, so it's just bringingthat practicality in for people
(18:09):
and really hoping that you seethat like you can do this too,
it's yours to, it's yours totake at any moment.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, and I think it's always important to think
through that.
For me, carving out time to getgrounded, to clear my energy
between clients, like to dothese little micro behaviors, is
work time to me A hundredpercent, I think yeah, and so if
it's like oh, I have threehours to work today.
(18:39):
If half hour of that is spentmeditating because I feel wobbly
, otherwise, like, the other twoand a half hours will be much
more potent if I see that as awork activity.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
A hundred percent as opposed to just like plowing
through well and coming at itthe way that you're talking
about too, of not doing itbecause somebody said you have
to do this to make money, tomanifest your desires.
There's a lot out there that'sdo all of these things because
you're broken essentially andyou're self-sabotaging and
that's why you're not makingmoney.
(19:12):
Yeah, if you're making,sometimes we have to be in that
place of that's where we'relearning.
But what you're saying I thinkis really important to remember,
that put a practice together,put something in place that like
you really value, that reallygets you clear and focused, and
see that as your work time.
So sometimes my meditation andjournaling will take an hour in
(19:36):
them and it will frustrate me.
I'll be like, oh my god, I haveso much like actual, like
computer work I have to do, butI have to come back and I have
to tell myself and remind myselflike this is part of your work,
this is part of your work andthis is really important.
It's just all hear things.
We all hear how we should beeating right and eating a lot,
(19:56):
or going on a walk every day.
That part of my life I'm notgreat with.
I'm really trying to likecreate.
I'm much better at this part.
So I understand that it's hardto put these things in place and
you might be hearing likemeditating for an hour and
journaling.
I don't have time for that.
I get it.
I don't really have time eitherwhen we look at the earthly
side.
(20:16):
I only work from nine to twothirty on most days, but I will
tell you that it's the bestthing that I've done, because I
asked.
I love the work that I do, likeI wish that I could work until
10 o'clock at night.
I just can't.
It lights me up so much and Ithink that's because I've spent
so much time aligning with theright pings and saying, yep, I'm
(20:39):
going to take this next rightstep.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, and we're both going to share just some of the
top three practices that we bothdo, and there's a little
overlap and a littledifferentiation, because I do
think I'm nosy.
I always like to know whatpeople are finding the most
beneficial right now, like inpractice.
So what are some of the topthings that you really try to
curve out that time for?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
When I try to do this on most work days I'm not good
on the weekends, but I startwith a meditation and clearing
out meditation and so I clearout all the energy that I've
zapped up like absorbed frompeople around me.
I do that and then I will alsodo like more of a channeling
meditation.
So once I clear out, then Ilike connect to my highest self
(21:21):
and let whatever come throughthere.
Then I also have a hypnosis andsubconscious reprogramming
practice that I do where I'llput like subliminals on right
after when I do my journaling.
I'll do a hypnosis before bedon most nights when my
subliminals are playing, orsometimes I do binaural beats or
like the hurt frequencies, likeI'll find one, for I just did
(21:44):
one lowering cortisol this week,so that was pretty cool, and
then I would journal during that.
So I do a handwritten journalpractice where I just either I'm
answering questions or writingletters to myself, things like
that, and then I do a typingjournal practice where I have a
Google Doc that runs throughwhatever days that I do it, I
make new tabs for it and I askwhat my people need to hear that
(22:08):
day and then I just journal onit yeah, a lot of times that
then turns into content youshare.
That usually turns yeah, so theway then I can then also that
helps me with programming AI topull out, not even necessarily
write my content, but what itreally helps me with is I put
that, upload that, and then itpulls out like topics oh
(22:30):
interesting.
And it makes it much clearerfor me to say, oh okay, this is
like a theme, that's but what itreally helps me with, is I put?
that, upload that, and then itpulls out like topics oh,
interesting.
And it makes it much clearerfor me to say, oh OK, this is
like a theme that's coming upand create content around that.
Yeah, and then finally, efttapping.
So tapping has been part of mypractice since my good friend
Kate taught me when I was inyoga teacher training so that
has to be about five years agoand it's something that like
(22:57):
falls out of my practice andthen comes back in and she is so
good at keeping it in herpractice and she'll remind me.
And so recently she sent mesomebody on YouTube that I'm
loving and doing these short,like maybe somewhere between
eight to 10 minute tappingpractices, and I just love it.
And then I've been, I did sometapping in our membership too,
and the members really loved itand it gave me the confidence to
start bringing some of thatback too.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh, that's awesome when I have journaling.
We have that in common.
So I most mornings do ajournaling practice.
I just do it on a note on mycomputer and I often find that
I'll be like typing and thenmaybe it makes me think of
something and I open a tab andso, like, during my journaling
time, I really trust myintuition if I get sidetracked,
(23:40):
because I'll.
Often.
If I'm like journaling aboutsomething, maybe it makes me
think of something that I wantedto research and then I research
it and so it's on sale rightnow, of course.
So I use that as free form time.
I usually do that in the morning, and something that I don't do
daily but I do really enjoy Iwould say I do it most weekends
(24:01):
is I love Epsom salt baths andso I'll create a little bit more
of a ritual feeling bath withmaybe some magnesium flakes,
some Epsom salts.
I'll bring my pendulum into thebath with me, maybe light some
candles and I just channel, likeverbalize channeling.
Sometimes it feels more like anaffirmation or almost like an
incantation If there's somethingI'm trying to make a decision
(24:23):
on or really struggling with.
It's just like letting wordsflow through me and it typically
will end up boiling down to amantra if I just free flow and
let it go, and that has beenreally healing to me.
Like it's often, come up withmantras that then I'll write on
my whiteboard and use for monthsto come.
So carving that time out feelsreally great.
(24:45):
I also I've pretty every I haveit in my calendar to ping me
every Saturday to take a littlebit of time to use my pendulum
to test if there.
I test a couple things that havecome up in work with Candice,
an energy worker that you and Ihave both worked with, and I
test if my cells are spinningthe right way.
I test if there's any cordsthat need to be released, if
(25:07):
there's anybody else's energy inmy field, if there's any
entities or spirits that I'vepicked up throughout the week.
And it takes five minutes tojust like really visualize
anything that needs to be takenout of my energy field and
picturing it going out thewindow and transmuting into the
earth.
So a lot of like deepvisualizations around clearing
(25:27):
whether it's I know you and Ihave both done like using roses,
like visualized imaginary roses, to clean your energy field, or
picturing roots going down intothe earth and the energy that's
not yours going down andtransmuting, so that I would say
it's like this combination ofcollecting different tools that
I've learned from differenthealers or teachers to really
(25:49):
try to, at least weekly, reallyclear out my field and then
using my pendulum to do muscletesting, even on the regular.
I usually have one upstairs, onedownstairs or one in my work
bag and if I'm just feeling off,okay, is there anything that I
could be clearing right now?
And so running through thatlittle checklist, if I'm like
while I was sick I kept testing,I just am getting over a flu
(26:12):
and there was a lot of.
Okay, are my cells spinning theright way?
No, they're not.
Okay, I'm not absorbingnutrition and hydration?
Well, and okay, let mevisualize them spinning the
right way.
So, just little things that Ican just pick up and remind
myself.
And so I would say for me it'sthe journaling, that kind of
like welcoming in at least aweekly practice of like deep
clearing out or a ritual bathand then muscle testing with
(26:34):
pendulum just on the regular,like day to day.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I think it's really important, just like in looking
at what you're saying about thebath, too it's.
You said how just letting thosewords flow through and speaking
them out loud can be reallyhealing, so that that's just
like a micro thing, like it'sthis small thing.
You took the time.
It's not a small thing, it's ahuge thing, but what I'm saying
(26:57):
is we look at it and we're likethis doesn't feel.
I think so many of us areconditioned, especially me.
I'm a former Catholic.
I went I was going to massevery week, one hour long.
So we think ritual andconnecting to God or connecting
to the universe has to be thismassive, time-consuming thing.
(27:18):
And I don't believe that and Iknow that is not true, and I
think in hearing you say thatyou can see that one thing right
there, maybe it's a 20-minutebath and it's you spending this
time to speak these words outloud.
You received healing from that.
You didn't have to pay to go tosomebody else, you didn't have
to leave your house, you didn'thave to.
We can access this level ofintuition and healing in the
(27:43):
everyday, in these small moments, and keep that story as a
reminder to you of okay, let mefeel into this.
I don't feel good about this.
Whatever it might be, maybesomething in your relationship,
maybe something in your work,whatever it is, what can I do?
Okay, let me take a bath, likeChelsea said, and I'm just going
to talk through it.
I'm going to talk to myself andthen I'm going to let these
healing words come.
(28:03):
Those little shifts are goingto be where you receive the
biggest amount of change on yourpersonal spiritual journey.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's so true, right, it's not the big.
Something that's been reallyhelpful for me, and it's just
like a micro moment, is if I'mfrustrated or dealing with
parenting issues or anything, isjust to step outside,
especially now that it's likesunny and lovely here, and to
make sure that I'm facing thesun and just like one hand on my
heart, one hand on my belly,and just asking myself like what
(28:33):
is true right now?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Exactly In that very moment, like, and you feel the
sun on you and you're like I'msafe, right now I'm totally safe
.
I'm so about that.
I did a lot of that this week.
I actually have a little bit ofa sunburn because I did that
yesterday.
I faced the sun, I sat in achair, my day did not go the way
that I wanted it to.
Kiki was homesick and I satthere and I let the sun just be
(28:54):
on my face and I was saying tomyself, like I am so abundant,
like I could cry right nowbecause I'm like I have so much
time with her and in 10 yearsshe's not going to be here.
Probably She'll hang around.
I think she'll come back.
But also she has thatSagittarius spirit where she's
probably going to be going tocollege in California or
something and I could have beenat a networking thing I could
(29:17):
have been at.
But like that abundance is whatI remember to tap into then,
because that is so true and real, even when we're feeling like
the financial abundance is notcoming or whatever it is.
It's like that is how youmanifest, you create those
imprints right on figuring,feeling into your safety,
(29:39):
because in this moment, mostlikely anybody who's listening
to this is safe.
They have, they are abundant,they have people supporting them
, they have the whatever itmight be so.
It's not everything has to begoing right to tap into that
moment that is going, and if youcan keep coming back to tapping
(30:01):
into that is how you use yourintuition to manifest exactly
what you want yeah, and it's notlike it's not being a pollyanna
or toxic positivity to allowtwo things to exist at once.
Like you were disappointed thatyou couldn't do the plan you had
and you could see the silverlining and welcome in the
(30:23):
positivity right and then usingthat to to be able to, I do this
thing where I can imprint thefeeling.
I don't know how else toexplain it, but I know that then
, like just when you said, likewith the sun on your face, like
I can go back to that momentNext week when I'm feeling
frustrated about something else.
I can recreate that feeling inmy body.
(30:44):
Yeah, yeah, and I think that'swhat allows me to, like that's
how I have gotten rid of most ofmy anxiety in my life.
I used to be a highly anxiousperson and I'm not anymore
because of all of this likeintuitive practice and creating
these, like imprints of feelingconnected, feeling safe and
(31:07):
feeling like that deep level ofself-trust God forbid, I lost
everything.
I have that level of self-trustthat I would be able to come
back to and say what's the rightnext, what's the next right
step?
That sounds dramatic Like.
I don't mean that, but Ihonestly do have that feeling.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I don't think it sounds dramatic.
I think there's a level ofmaturity in your spiritual path.
Yeah, you get to where it's.
Yeah, it's not being.
It's not about making believeanymore.
It's like a remembering.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It's a remembering oh my God, that's so good.
That's what it is too.
Yeah, because it didn't alwaysfeel like this.
Just like you said, because wehave put in the work for so many
years, we have run, we've donethings different in our business
that other people wouldn't tellyou to necessarily do, or we
because we have that level ofself-trust and you have to test
it out.
You've got to jump out of theairplane to feel it Like you
(32:02):
trust that parachute and, and wecan confidently say, we've
embodied that not perfectly, butwe definitely run our lives
that way, absolutely, wow.
I went off on a bit of atangent.
But I think it's inspired andhopefully it lands with you that
we want you in this community.
Whether it's like you're apodcast listener, you are
(32:24):
following us on Instagram,however, you found us like you
landed here for a reason, andInstagram, however, you found us
like you landed here for areason, and hopefully you take
something away from this that,as like that thread, in your
remembering that you're inexactly where you're the right
space, and just follow that nextthread, like what comes up
after this.
What do you see after listeningto this podcast?
Yeah, because it's all part ofthe journey and the
(32:48):
communicating with spirit andthe divine.
And also we have the practicalpart and we have some homework
for you, because we really trulybelieve in blending both of
those.
So we would love for you towrite down three ways that
you're already using yourintuition in your business and
your life.
Show yourself you really aredoing this.
Some example prompts could belike what decisions have you
(33:09):
made recently that just feltright?
And, if you want a somatic wayto feel right, feel into your
body and the way that I feel itis.
It feels like open in my chest.
That's how I could describe it.
When I feel a no, I feel like atightness, or like a tightness
in my stomach, and notnecessarily like a muscle
tightness.
Deeper than that it's like, andmaybe your somatic thing is you
(33:31):
feel it in your head.
You feel it like you have to getclear on how your intuition
communicates with you, andanother problem could be what
practices have helped me feelmost aligned and clear in my
business, and for you, thatmight be your daily walk.
It might be your daily whileyou're sitting in traffic,
you're listening to certainpodcasts and that makes you feel
(33:51):
really clear and connected with.
So it could be anything.
But we would love for you toshare with us where you're at
and what decisions you maderecently that feel right or what
practices you're using.
So you can find us at MegO'Neill 10 on Instagram or at
the Institute of Business Mentor, and we would love to hear what
you're doing.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
In this episode, we're pulling back the veil on
what it really means to run anintuitive business no labels, no
pressure, just the magic offollowing your own internal
guidance.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're actually here to help you bring the magic back
into your marketing.
Because marketing should feelgood, not gross Grab your
favorite drink get comfy andlet's get started.
Favorite drink get comfy andlet's get started.
So it's been a couple yearssince I kind of rebranded myself
online as the intuitivebusiness mentor handle on social
media and when I did that itwas very much a stepping into a
(01:37):
new level of connectedness forme, even if I didn't really know
it at the time.
But I also because I wasputting that word intuitive I
kind of self-imposed pressure onmyself that nobody else was
saying but that I needed to gobuy new flowy clothes and invest
in different tools and I dostill use some of the tools,
like a sound bowl and newcrystals.
(01:58):
But I put this pressure onmyself that I needed to have a
new photo shoot before I couldlike to launch this brand and
that I just had to look acertain way.
And if someone's listening tothis and puts the same pressure,
you get what that is used todaya pendulum that I bought that
for that photo shoot and there'sa really lovely picture of me
holding it and I didn't feel.
(02:21):
It almost felt okay.
This photo shoot has to lookdifferent than everything else
that I've done, because before Ihave quote unquote been more
professional and now quote,unquote.
I'm stepping into more using myintuition and so, while it was
authentic, it was this feelingthat I had that I wasn't enough
or I wasn't like demonstratingmy intuition enough unless it
(02:43):
looked like I was.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It totally makes sense and I've felt the same way
and I think that when we leaninto that way of running
business, we then feel like wehave to infuse it into all of
our marketing and the way thatit all looks and it's yeah, you
could be an intuitive bookkeeperwithout even calling yourself
that.
Like, you don't have to.
We feel like, as much as welike to step out of the boxes,
(03:07):
we feel like we have to putourselves in a box to be
understood.
So when I was doing my Reikiteaching and life coaching, like
I felt the exact same way.
I did a photo shoot, which wasa beautiful photo shoot, and I
felt very authentic, but it'slike I wore this white flowy
dress and it was like what?
Like what messaging am I tryingto put out?
I guess I'm trying to put outthis message that here, look at
(03:28):
me, I am intuitive, like I wantyou to get that.
And I didn't think that wouldcome across if I was wearing a
blazer, or yeah, but then it'sthe same thing.
Like I wrote a post onInstagram this week about you
don't always have to be wearinga blazer to be a business coach
type vibe too.
So it's very clearly we putourselves, we put these like
restrictions on ourselves and wehave to strip those away.
(03:51):
We're invited to, we're allowedto strip those away and be
multifaceted and still be ableto, you know, delineate
ourselves from the other peoplethat are doing similar work.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And I think that's true because you and I both have
done extensive training withintuitive practices of all kinds
and but even if we were justdoing it for our personal
experience, exactly Like even ifwe weren't saying we help
business owners bring intuitioninto their practice, we could
still be intuitive in our day today and how we make business
(04:27):
decisions, without even tellinganybody if we wanted to.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Correct, and that's where I have a lot of people
reach out to me of I, this ishow I've always run my business
and I just I didn't realize.
Other people did it becausethey're functional nutritionist
or they are, it doesn't't matter.
They're all different practicesthat they're using intuition
and oftentimes we feel like weeither have to share it publicly
(04:51):
, like valid enough, or and youdon't, and it is this level of
self-trust that I think we'regetting at the core.
So, like the core of it is liketrusting yourself enough to say
I am intuitive.
This is how I run my business,because I truly believe, like
all humans are.
It's not a mask we put on, it'snot a outfit that we wear to
(05:14):
like embody.
We just happen to use it alsoto teach our people how to show
up in there and be visibleonline.
Use it in their copywritingonline.
Use it in their copywriting.
However, use it in theirmarketing.
But you can be an intuitiveentrepreneur and not necessarily
be teaching it to anybody else.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And I think I see this in a lot of conversations
and group coaching inside of ourintuitive business community,
where it's really lovely thatmany of the women who've come
into our community havedifferent paths of how they have
ingrained intuition into theirday-to-day or been exposed to or
not exposed to certain ways,and I think it's just a really
(05:53):
fun space that we've createdbecause there is that curiosity
where there's another womannamed Chelsea who's been in the
membership since it launched andI can just see on her face when
she will hear another membertalk about maybe something that
they do to bring intuition and Ididn't even know that was a
thing like now I want to goresearch it and it's so lovely
when you can just see peoplemaking it their own and breaking
(06:17):
through some of these myths.
That so much and I go throughthis too like so much of
exploring how do I call it?
Like it back, welcoming myintuition back, because I feel
like where I witness kiddos allthe time playing with my son and
some kids, it's immediatelybeaten out of them, not in a
physical sense, but don't, yeah.
(06:38):
Other kids doing that, I'mhearing, and I really try not to
do that with my son, so I thinkI bring some awareness to it,
just witnessing it with kids.
But I can think back to mychildhood, phases of my life
where I really did trust myintuition, and then phases of my
life where I definitely did not, and the pros and cons mostly
cons when I have made decisionsin life and in business where I
(07:03):
was not trusting my intuition orwelcoming it in, and how that
spiraled off into differentphases of my life.
And I think it's just a goodreminder that intuition isn't
about appearances or externalfactors.
It's about what helps you trustyour inner compass more.
And I often think about it as arelationship.
(07:24):
If I was friends, if I thinkabout my intuition as being like
a separate entity as me, and ifI was friends with that, if I
embodied it as a person, if thiswas a person and I was friends
with them and they kept tellingme their opinion on something
that I should be doing and Ijust kept ignoring it, like
eventually they're not going towant to share their opinion and
so if your intuition is givingyou nudges and giving you signs
(07:47):
and you're just constantlyignoring it, that relationship
doesn't feel very welcoming toyour intuition.
And I do think that there's waysto bring intuition into your
day to day, even if it's not apart of your marketing or what
you offer at all.
You could be an accountant thatprivately pulls Oracle cards to
help you decide changing thepricing of your packages, like
(08:08):
you could be using it to makedecisions about your business
and never tell anybody.
Or you could just be a busy momwho also has a coaching
practice, and maybe you're usingastrology or your menstrual
cycle to plan launch dates, likethat's another way of welcoming
that side back in.
Or an energy healer that blendsbusiness strategy with spirit
(08:29):
guidance.
There's just so many ways,whether you're holding it out as
something you offer or not, ortalking about it as something
that you do in your business ornot, and feeling what feels
right for you.
But welcoming it in littleglimmers, I think, is really
what we hope.
The movement we hope to createis giving permission to do that,
yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, and I think it's about also understanding
that it could look different foreverybody, just like how you
said, how they use it, andthere's never going to be like
one right way of okay, this ishow you use intuition in your
business, right?
Your intuition is your gutfeeling.
It's like how your you speak toyourself, like how your energy
(09:14):
works, how all these differentpieces that takes time to get in
quiet, takes time to, to learn,to relearn again, like you said
, like inviting it back becausethere has been so much that has
turned it off and I think thereis because of like the world we
live into.
A lot of times we even knowwhat we should intuitively be
doing, right, but we can't quitthat multiple six-figure job
(09:38):
because of the golden handcuffsor we can't, yeah, yeah.
So there's understanding thateverybody's is going to be a
little bit different and youhave to spend the time to get
quiet and learn how yours speaksto you and also trusting that,
even if it looks different thananother entrepreneur, it's still
valid and it's still reallyimportant and like letting it
(10:03):
show up in different ways andthen trusting that and acting on
it.
So maybe you can't leave thesix-figure job while you're
building your side hustle, butyou can take the little steps.
Start an email list, startposting on social media,
whatever it might be, whateveryour intuition is telling you
will feel like a good,supportive.
(10:23):
Next step, and then the otherpart of that, too, is trusting
that.
It's like not going to be thisloud thunderbolt.
Most of the time.
It's very mundane and it's verylittle shifts, and what I try
to remember and go back to islike that analogy that I'm not
going to get like perfect at all, but it's like the airplane
that's riding like one, drivingone degree to the left yeah, is
(10:46):
going to end up 300 miles awaythen.
So it's that wasn't.
Somebody could say that a lotmore clearly than me, but
hopefully you're at the point.
It's these micro moments thathappen throughout the day yeah
and that trust, that just thatlittle sign.
so maybe it's a sign like afeather, or maybe it's a sign
(11:06):
that comes through in journaling.
Those things are important andwe're so used to the big flashy.
You know you want thethunderbolt to come, you want
the God to sit in front of youand tell you this is the path.
And tell this like miraculousstory.
And that's just not how ithappens for most people.
Tell this like miraculous storyand that's just not how it
(11:27):
happens for most people.
So trusting that quiet, mundanemagic that is happening every
day is truly leading you is themost valuable thing that you can
do.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Yeah, and I find you've been very inspiring to me
of finding the magic in themundane, even just little
self-care things or setting up.
You've shared pictures beforeof like just setting up very
simple little ritual spaces inthe middle of your kitchen
instead of having a separatespace for it, and like even just
treating yourself to flowersand putting them in a beautiful
vase, and like spending a couplemoments lighting a candle for
(11:56):
that.
Like just finding within thebusy days, because for many of
us, many of our members andclients, it's not like we were
sitting around eating bonbonsand then said, oh, I would love
to fill this time with running abusiness.
It's like you're running abusiness, you're living life,
and then if you want to bringmore intuitive practices in,
like it can't be this big ordealor you're not going to do it or
(12:19):
do it consistently.
Yeah, like little intentions, Ithink.
For me, just that pressure thepressure both you and I felt
around how we had to look for asocial media issue.
Right, we need to talk aboutthe fears of not being quote,
unquote intuitive enough to beworthy of creating a movement,
whether you're saying out loudthat you are an intuitive blah
(12:42):
blah, blah Right, fill in theblank or not.
It's really about looking at wecan be in business, right?
The patriarchy wants us tothink that this is not true, but
we can be in business as women,trusting our intuition,
welcoming in the receiving andallowing that to coexist with
data and strategy andtraditional business practices.
(13:04):
It doesn't have to be an eitheror, and I think that sometimes
it can go too far, like I'vedefinitely seen and witnessed,
almost like in my opinion.
I'll just share, in my opinion,a toxic conversation in the
online coaching space where it'sall a money mindset issue or
it's all because you're notspending 30 minutes every day in
(13:25):
meditation.
And some of these, I would saygurus, like rising up in social
media, especially in the pastfive, six years, with big
visibility around topics thatpeople crave, like we crave
community, crave support aroundhow to be more intuitive.
We crave like the red tent,like the circle of women, our
bodies and our epigenetics, likeremember that and crave that,
(13:47):
and so I feel like there havebeen some voices in this space
that rise up and make you feellike it's only practices that
will make you successful and itcompletely ignoring strategy,
and I think I've just seen someof those, in particular, some of
those accounts where it's likethey're just feeding on, selling
you the next thing, because youalways feel broken, because
you're not like on the otherside of being intuitive enough I
(14:10):
think that's part of thisconversation too is I think some
people have been turned off byit because of some of those
voices.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Yeah, and I think that they are.
The thing is that they're notsaying they're using strategy,
but they are because, likethey're so focused on the
aesthetic, you can grow anInstagram.
If you have an aesthetic vibearound intuition and you have
you could grow an Instagram veryquickly.
It doesn't mean that there'sgoing to be a ton of truth value
(14:38):
Maybe not also but there isstrategy that's involved that
helps these people grow and theybasically make it sound like
they're just sitting backcollecting money and taking
pictures, yeah and that's nothow it is at all.
I've really, you know, and we'veworked behind the scenes with
some bigger brands, people whohave done this before, and
(14:59):
they're also there's a lot ofstrategy that goes into it.
Yeah, and it's not somethingthat you have to in.
Inviting intuition more intoyour life, more into your
business is not a club where,like you should have to always
be paying for like to learnRight.
We want to empower people to totrust themselves, and sometimes
(15:21):
that does mean learning a fewpractice and learning a few.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
There's nothing, being exposed to something and
then following that thread ifyou're really Exactly, I think
is really powerful.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I think it's also powerful to be paying for myself
, to be paying to set the timeaside.
Essentially, we we both are inone of our friends, exo spirit
with Melissa, and she hasmonthly circles and that helps
me carve out the time.
It's not that I feel like Ihave to be learning or paying to
(15:56):
be in something.
It helps me hold that boundaryand hold that time secret.
So, while it is important, makesure that you're following
people that are empowering youto tune in in that way and not,
oh, you have to join this nextthing to learn the newest
technology.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Right, or you'll be behind, or wrong.
Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Definitely practice in a way that feels good to you
and make that decision from Iwant to versus oh, I need to do
this in order to get to the nextlevel, right.
So our movement is really aboutteaching business owners how to
find their own unique brand ofintuition, how to blend that
into their life, their marketing, however it feels good to them.
(16:39):
And that's why I often sharethe non-aesthetic side of
creating ritual creating becauseI don't have a builder grade
middle of utah influencer house.
I just don't.
That's not like what I do.
Meditation sometimes like in thecar, in the parking lot of the
(17:02):
hiking trail in our town becauseI like to be around the trees
but I don't want to sit in themassachusetts cold middle of the
walking trail with 20 people onit.
Practical, exactly.
There's a practice like itwould be beautiful to have a
meditation room and all of thesethings, but it's not reality
for a lot of people.
So I want I show that, becauseI want people to say, oh, wait a
(17:25):
second.
Ok, if she could do it, then Ican do this too.
I can just put like my bathtub.
I'm six feet tall, I don't.
I hardly even fit in my bathtub, but I used to always like show
pictures of it.
It was definitely notaesthetically pleasing, but I
would have some salts, I wouldhave a candle, I would have some
.
I'd show you that.
Don't keep putting it off.
Don't keep saying I will bemore connected in my intuition
(17:48):
when I will be like you couldtake two minutes even if you
have three kids under five yearsold, like I did when I put them
all in the car seat, would notturn my car on yet, but I would
close my eyes, I would groundmyself and that would be one
minute.
That was it, but it was oneminute more than I did the day
before.
Yeah, so it's just bringingthat practicality in for people
(18:09):
and really hoping that you seethat like you can do this too,
it's yours to, it's yours totake at any moment.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Yeah, and I think it's always important to think
through that.
For me, carving out time to getgrounded, to clear my energy
between clients, like to dothese little micro behaviors, is
work time to me A hundredpercent, I think yeah, and so if
it's like oh, I have threehours to work today.
(18:39):
If half hour of that is spentmeditating because I feel wobbly
, otherwise, like, the other twoand a half hours will be much
more potent if I see that as awork activity.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
A hundred percent as opposed to just like plowing
through well and coming at itthe way that you're talking
about too, of not doing itbecause somebody said you have
to do this to make money, tomanifest your desires.
There's a lot out there that'sdo all of these things because
you're broken essentially andyou're self-sabotaging and
that's why you're not makingmoney.
(19:12):
Yeah, if you're making,sometimes we have to be in that
place of that's where we'relearning.
But what you're saying I thinkis really important to remember,
that put a practice together,put something in place that like
you really value, that reallygets you clear and focused, and
see that as your work time.
So sometimes my meditation andjournaling will take an hour in
(19:36):
them and it will frustrate me.
I'll be like, oh my god, I haveso much like actual, like
computer work I have to do, butI have to come back and I have
to tell myself and remind myselflike this is part of your work,
this is part of your work andthis is really important.
It's just all hear things.
We all hear how we should beeating right and eating a lot,
(19:56):
or going on a walk every day.
That part of my life I'm notgreat with.
I'm really trying to likecreate.
I'm much better at this part.
So I understand that it's hardto put these things in place and
you might be hearing likemeditating for an hour and
journaling.
I don't have time for that.
I get it.
I don't really have time eitherwhen we look at the earthly
side.
(20:16):
I only work from nine to twothirty on most days, but I will
tell you that it's the bestthing that I've done, because I
asked.
I love the work that I do, likeI wish that I could work until
10 o'clock at night.
I just can't.
It lights me up so much and Ithink that's because I've spent
so much time aligning with theright pings and saying, yep, I'm
(20:39):
going to take this next rightstep.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, and we're both going to share just some of the
top three practices that we bothdo, and there's a little
overlap and a littledifferentiation, because I do
think I'm nosy.
I always like to know whatpeople are finding the most
beneficial right now, like inpractice.
So what are some of the topthings that you really try to
curve out that time for?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
When I try to do this on most work days I'm not good
on the weekends, but I startwith a meditation and clearing
out meditation and so I clearout all the energy that I've
zapped up like absorbed frompeople around me.
I do that and then I will alsodo like more of a channeling
meditation.
So once I clear out, then Ilike connect to my highest self
(21:21):
and let whatever come throughthere.
Then I also have a hypnosis andsubconscious reprogramming
practice that I do where I'llput like subliminals on right
after when I do my journaling.
I'll do a hypnosis before bedon most nights when my
subliminals are playing, orsometimes I do binaural beats or
like the hurt frequencies, likeI'll find one, for I just did
(21:44):
one lowering cortisol this week,so that was pretty cool, and
then I would journal during that.
So I do a handwritten journalpractice where I just either I'm
answering questions or writingletters to myself, things like
that, and then I do a typingjournal practice where I have a
Google Doc that runs throughwhatever days that I do it, I
make new tabs for it and I askwhat my people need to hear that
(22:08):
day and then I just journal onit yeah, a lot of times that
then turns into content youshare.
That usually turns yeah, so theway then I can then also that
helps me with programming AI topull out, not even necessarily
write my content, but what itreally helps me with is I put
that, upload that, and then itpulls out like topics oh
(22:30):
interesting.
And it makes it much clearerfor me to say, oh okay, this is
like a theme, that's but what itreally helps me with, is I put?
that, upload that, and then itpulls out like topics oh,
interesting.
And it makes it much clearerfor me to say, oh OK, this is
like a theme that's coming upand create content around that.
Yeah, and then finally, efttapping.
So tapping has been part of mypractice since my good friend
Kate taught me when I was inyoga teacher training so that
has to be about five years agoand it's something that like
(22:57):
falls out of my practice andthen comes back in and she is so
good at keeping it in herpractice and she'll remind me.
And so recently she sent mesomebody on YouTube that I'm
loving and doing these short,like maybe somewhere between
eight to 10 minute tappingpractices, and I just love it.
And then I've been, I did sometapping in our membership too,
and the members really loved itand it gave me the confidence to
start bringing some of thatback too.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Oh, that's awesome when I have journaling.
We have that in common.
So I most mornings do ajournaling practice.
I just do it on a note on mycomputer and I often find that
I'll be like typing and thenmaybe it makes me think of
something and I open a tab andso, like, during my journaling
time, I really trust myintuition if I get sidetracked,
(23:40):
because I'll.
Often.
If I'm like journaling aboutsomething, maybe it makes me
think of something that I wantedto research and then I research
it and so it's on sale rightnow, of course.
So I use that as free form time.
I usually do that in the morning, and something that I don't do
daily but I do really enjoy Iwould say I do it most weekends
(24:01):
is I love Epsom salt baths andso I'll create a little bit more
of a ritual feeling bath withmaybe some magnesium flakes,
some Epsom salts.
I'll bring my pendulum into thebath with me, maybe light some
candles and I just channel, likeverbalize channeling.
Sometimes it feels more like anaffirmation or almost like an
incantation If there's somethingI'm trying to make a decision
(24:23):
on or really struggling with.
It's just like letting wordsflow through me and it typically
will end up boiling down to amantra if I just free flow and
let it go, and that has beenreally healing to me.
Like it's often, come up withmantras that then I'll write on
my whiteboard and use for monthsto come.
So carving that time out feelsreally great.
(24:45):
I also I've pretty every I haveit in my calendar to ping me
every Saturday to take a littlebit of time to use my pendulum
to test if there.
I test a couple things that havecome up in work with Candice,
an energy worker that you and Ihave both worked with, and I
test if my cells are spinningthe right way.
I test if there's any cordsthat need to be released, if
(25:07):
there's anybody else's energy inmy field, if there's any
entities or spirits that I'vepicked up throughout the week.
And it takes five minutes tojust like really visualize
anything that needs to be takenout of my energy field and
picturing it going out thewindow and transmuting into the
earth.
So a lot of like deepvisualizations around clearing
(25:27):
whether it's I know you and Ihave both done like using roses,
like visualized imaginary roses, to clean your energy field, or
picturing roots going down intothe earth and the energy that's
not yours going down andtransmuting, so that I would say
it's like this combination ofcollecting different tools that
I've learned from differenthealers or teachers to really
(25:49):
try to, at least weekly, reallyclear out my field and then
using my pendulum to do muscletesting, even on the regular.
I usually have one upstairs, onedownstairs or one in my work
bag and if I'm just feeling off,okay, is there anything that I
could be clearing right now?
And so running through thatlittle checklist, if I'm like
while I was sick I kept testing,I just am getting over a flu
(26:12):
and there was a lot of.
Okay, are my cells spinning theright way?
No, they're not.
Okay, I'm not absorbingnutrition and hydration?
Well, and okay, let mevisualize them spinning the
right way.
So, just little things that Ican just pick up and remind
myself.
And so I would say for me it'sthe journaling, that kind of
like welcoming in at least aweekly practice of like deep
clearing out or a ritual bathand then muscle testing with
(26:34):
pendulum just on the regular,like day to day.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I think it's really important, just like in looking
at what you're saying about thebath, too it's.
You said how just letting thosewords flow through and speaking
them out loud can be reallyhealing, so that that's just
like a micro thing, like it'sthis small thing.
You took the time.
It's not a small thing, it's ahuge thing, but what I'm saying
(26:57):
is we look at it and we're likethis doesn't feel.
I think so many of us areconditioned, especially me.
I'm a former Catholic.
I went I was going to massevery week, one hour long.
So we think ritual andconnecting to God or connecting
to the universe has to be thismassive, time-consuming thing.
(27:18):
And I don't believe that and Iknow that is not true, and I
think in hearing you say thatyou can see that one thing right
there, maybe it's a 20-minutebath and it's you spending this
time to speak these words outloud.
You received healing from that.
You didn't have to pay to go tosomebody else, you didn't have
to leave your house, you didn'thave to.
We can access this level ofintuition and healing in the
(27:43):
everyday, in these small moments, and keep that story as a
reminder to you of okay, let mefeel into this.
I don't feel good about this.
Whatever it might be, maybesomething in your relationship,
maybe something in your work,whatever it is, what can I do?
Okay, let me take a bath, likeChelsea said, and I'm just going
to talk through it.
I'm going to talk to myself andthen I'm going to let these
healing words come.
(28:03):
Those little shifts are goingto be where you receive the
biggest amount of change on yourpersonal spiritual journey.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's so true, right, it's not the big.
Something that's been reallyhelpful for me, and it's just
like a micro moment, is if I'mfrustrated or dealing with
parenting issues or anything, isjust to step outside,
especially now that it's likesunny and lovely here, and to
make sure that I'm facing thesun and just like one hand on my
heart, one hand on my belly,and just asking myself like what
(28:33):
is true right now?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Exactly In that very moment, like, and you feel the
sun on you and you're like I'msafe, right now I'm totally safe
.
I'm so about that.
I did a lot of that this week.
I actually have a little bit ofa sunburn because I did that
yesterday.
I faced the sun, I sat in achair, my day did not go the way
that I wanted it to.
Kiki was homesick and I satthere and I let the sun just be
(28:54):
on my face and I was saying tomyself, like I am so abundant,
like I could cry right nowbecause I'm like I have so much
time with her and in 10 yearsshe's not going to be here.
Probably She'll hang around.
I think she'll come back.
But also she has thatSagittarius spirit where she's
probably going to be going tocollege in California or
something and I could have beenat a networking thing I could
(29:17):
have been at.
But like that abundance is whatI remember to tap into then,
because that is so true and real, even when we're feeling like
the financial abundance is notcoming or whatever it is.
It's like that is how youmanifest, you create those
imprints right on figuring,feeling into your safety,
(29:39):
because in this moment, mostlikely anybody who's listening
to this is safe.
They have, they are abundant,they have people supporting them
, they have the whatever itmight be so.
It's not everything has to begoing right to tap into that
moment that is going, and if youcan keep coming back to tapping
(30:01):
into that is how you use yourintuition to manifest exactly
what you want yeah, and it's notlike it's not being a pollyanna
or toxic positivity to allowtwo things to exist at once.
Like you were disappointed thatyou couldn't do the plan you had
and you could see the silverlining and welcome in the
(30:23):
positivity right and then usingthat to to be able to, I do this
thing where I can imprint thefeeling.
I don't know how else toexplain it, but I know that then
, like just when you said, likewith the sun on your face, like
I can go back to that momentNext week when I'm feeling
frustrated about something else.
I can recreate that feeling inmy body.
(30:44):
Yeah, yeah, and I think that'swhat allows me to, like that's
how I have gotten rid of most ofmy anxiety in my life.
I used to be a highly anxiousperson and I'm not anymore
because of all of this likeintuitive practice and creating
these, like imprints of feelingconnected, feeling safe and
(31:07):
feeling like that deep level ofself-trust God forbid, I lost
everything.
I have that level of self-trustthat I would be able to come
back to and say what's the rightnext, what's the next right
step?
That sounds dramatic Like.
I don't mean that, but Ihonestly do have that feeling.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
I don't think it sounds dramatic.
I think there's a level ofmaturity in your spiritual path.
Yeah, you get to where it's.
Yeah, it's not being.
It's not about making believeanymore.
It's like a remembering.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
It's a remembering oh my God, that's so good.
That's what it is too.
Yeah, because it didn't alwaysfeel like this.
Just like you said, because wehave put in the work for so many
years, we have run, we've donethings different in our business
that other people wouldn't tellyou to necessarily do, or we
because we have that level ofself-trust and you have to test
it out.
You've got to jump out of theairplane to feel it Like you
(32:02):
trust that parachute and, and wecan confidently say, we've
embodied that not perfectly, butwe definitely run our lives
that way, absolutely, wow.
I went off on a bit of atangent.
But I think it's inspired andhopefully it lands with you that
we want you in this community.
Whether it's like you're apodcast listener, you are
(32:24):
following us on Instagram,however, you found us like you
landed here for a reason, andInstagram, however, you found us
like you landed here for areason, and hopefully you take
something away from this that,as like that thread, in your
remembering that you're inexactly where you're the right
space, and just follow that nextthread, like what comes up
after this.
What do you see after listeningto this podcast?
Yeah, because it's all part ofthe journey and the
(32:48):
communicating with spirit andthe divine.
And also we have the practicalpart and we have some homework
for you, because we really trulybelieve in blending both of
those.
So we would love for you towrite down three ways that
you're already using yourintuition in your business and
your life.
Show yourself you really aredoing this.
Some example prompts could belike what decisions have you
(33:09):
made recently that just feltright?
And, if you want a somatic wayto feel right, feel into your
body and the way that I feel itis.
It feels like open in my chest.
That's how I could describe it.
When I feel a no, I feel like atightness, or like a tightness
in my stomach, and notnecessarily like a muscle
tightness.
Deeper than that it's like, andmaybe your somatic thing is you
(33:31):
feel it in your head.
You feel it like you have to getclear on how your intuition
communicates with you, andanother problem could be what
practices have helped me feelmost aligned and clear in my
business, and for you, thatmight be your daily walk.
It might be your daily whileyou're sitting in traffic,
you're listening to certainpodcasts and that makes you feel
(33:51):
really clear and connected with.
So it could be anything.
But we would love for you toshare with us where you're at
and what decisions you maderecently that feel right or what
practices you're using.
So you can find us at MegO'Neill 10 on Instagram or at
