Ever feel like you're stuck between what the world says you should do and what your gut is telling you to do? In this episode, I sit down with Anik Malenfant to dig deep into intuitive leadership—the kind that ditches the cookie-cutter approaches and leans into real, aligned decision-making.
Anik breaks down how intuitive discernment helps leaders cut through the noise, trust themselves, and stay in integrity with their core values—even in high-pressure environments. We’re talking real talk on avoiding burnout, making bold moves, and leading from a place of deep self-trust.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Intuitive discernment = Game changer – It’s not just a “gut feeling”; it’s knowing the difference between fear and true alignment.
✅ Trends don’t define success – What works for them might not work for you. Trust your own damn path.
✅ Muscle test your decisions – Your body already knows what’s right—learn how to tap into it.
✅ Burnout happens when you abandon your values – If you’re drained, ask yourself: Am I living in alignment with what truly matters to me?
✅ Your best life starts inside – Stop looking out there for the answers. Do the inner work, and the outer world follows.
