What if you know more about your body, your business, your life, and the next steps to take more than anyone else?
The trick to following your inner guidance isn’t logical. It’s an internal compass that navigates itself on the subtle energies of your asks.
Oftentimes, taking that leap of faith and saying yes to things that aren’t logical requires a few things
Let go of judgment of yourself, your body, your past, and your choices
Have no regrets
Don’t make decisions based on other people’s opinions
What other people think about you is none of your business
Don’t base your choices on fears and insecurities (and definitely don’t expect those to be absent in order to make a decision)
Learn to pay attention to your body’s communication style
Trust your YES- especially when it makes no sense.
When we look at the unknown future, oftentimes we buy into the fear we feel, thinking it’s real, but fear and excitement are the exact same vibration so instead of letting fear stop you, use it as a guide to propel you to places and spaces you’ve never been before.

Be bold, be brave, beextraordinary, be vulnerable, be real,
be curious, be true. Beyou. Welcome to Trusting your gut with
world class energy, Intuitive Katherine Macintosh, a show designed to awaken you to
enjoy the process of evolving, havefun along the way, and learn to
(00:31):
listen to those silent in between moments. You are the expert of your own
life and nobody knows more about thenext steps to take in your journey than
you, So please listen to yourgut and discover what's waiting for you to
explore. Here is your host,Katherine Macintosh. All right, my magical
(00:55):
friend, so welcome to another episode. Today is a good day. So
the topic we're going to be talkingabout today is beyond logic, right,
your inner guide for decision making.And before we kind of dive into the
topic, I want to start outwith a story that sort of demonstrates what
(01:15):
I'm talking about. So years ago, right, the way that I started
my business was definitely not logical.So I'm going to share probably a few
stories. So the first one is, you know, when my son was
two weeks old, my husband atthe time decided to quit his multiple six
(01:36):
figure job, leaving us with kindof no savings, no backup plan,
and he's like, oh, I'mgoing to start a business. And I
have been working for myself for along time, and I kind of knew
the ins and outs. I think, you know, sometimes you're a born
entrepreneur, sometimes you learn how tobe an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur isn't
(01:57):
logical, ever, and business plansare usually the logical way to convince yourself
that you can start a business.But most people who start businesses, it's
like they just get this gut instinctor this gut decision. And that's exactly
what happened to me. So Ihad when I started my business, I
had less than a thousand dollars tomy name. I had no credit cards.
(02:22):
You know, we had almost lostour house, we almost had to
file for bankruptcy, right, andtrying to make money the logical way it
just wasn't working. And so Ijust had this hit of like, Okay,
this makes absolutely no sense, butI'm going to fly with my son
as an infant to Italy to takea training to then start a business.
(02:47):
Right. This was like so notlogical. I didn't have the money on
a credit card, I didn't evenhave a credit card, and something in
me, like all of the piecesof the puzzle started to work work together.
When I made this illogical decision tostart a business with less than one
thousand dollars to my name, andwithin a very short amount of time,
(03:09):
like that first month, right,I ended up making over ten thousand dollars.
And so the story I actually wantedto tell was the story of making
that choice. So here I amstarting a business, you know, making
logical decisions of how to start mybusiness, how to connect with people,
(03:30):
how to network, how to letpeople know that I had started sort of
an intuitive consulting business. And soI'm at this class and I'm taking a
class where I thought I was goingto make money. It was logical.
I didn't make any money. Infact, I lost money by going to
this class. And the person teachingthe class came up to me, He's
(03:53):
like, wow, I can tellyou're really gifted at bodies. And it
was a famous person. He wasa famous athlete, and he just said,
Hey, would you like to flydown to Florida and work on bodies?
And before I could even like hearthe logical explanation of what he was
asking. My entire body was likeyes. And then I got done with
(04:17):
that, and I was like,oh my gosh, I have no money,
I have no plane tickets, Idon't have a hotel, you know,
and I'm going to take my sonand my husband down to Florida with
me. I live in Colorado,still lived in Colorado back then. But
I made this illogical decision and itwas like, yes, I'll go because
(04:38):
the energy was a match for whatI wanted to have as my business,
for what I wanted to have asmy life. I saw myself traveling the
world. I saw myself working onbodies. I saw myself doing energy work,
and yet I didn't know the howI was going to make that happen.
I just had such a strong internaldesire or an internal knowing that that
(05:01):
was the path I was meant tobe on. I had an internal knowing
when I was a little kid thatI wanted to work with energy for a
living, but I never saw examplesof it, and so I didn't know
how. And so here I amat this class, this man asked me
to fly down to Florida, andI'm like yes, And of course my
(05:23):
tickets weren't paid for the hotel wasn'tpaid for, you know, But all
of these things after I said yes, started to fall into place. And
by the way, from the timehe asked me to the time I was
supposed to be in Florida, itwas a three week period, right,
So I had three weeks to comeup with the money, not just for
the travel, but to come upwith the money to pay the mortgage,
(05:45):
to come up with the money tofund my life with my son and my
husband, right because mind you,he no longer was making money, and
so it was just this giant yesin my world. I got down there,
and I ended up being totally bookedout. I ended up making a
ton of money. I ended upteaching a few classes, and ended up
(06:08):
basically gathering a small list of clientsthat wanted to work with me. And
that's how my business was born.And so I'm sharing that with you because
most of us, when we lookat what we want to create as our
future, right, that future isunknown, the future is uncertain, the
(06:30):
future is insecure, right, wetend to associate anything in the future that's
an unknown, that's an unpredictable,that's uncertain as Oh, I'm afraid to
start right, I'm afraid to startthat. But yet in our own lives,
when we have a frame of referencefor something from our past. So
(06:54):
maybe you went on a roller coasterride, and before you got on the
roller coaster, you were afraid,but after the experience it was an exhilarating
experience, You're like, oh,my god, that was so exciting.
And so then you start associating oh, roller coaster ride with excitement. Oh,
getting on a plane for the firsttime to go somewhere I've never been.
(07:15):
I might be afraid before I getthere, but the experience of traveling
and being in a new place andexperiencing new cultures and new food and you
know, just new customs, allof a sudden you associate that with like,
Oh, that's exciting because I growand I learn and I become something
greater. Right, And the wholekey to life, I believe, is
(07:40):
to become the best version of yourselfyou can be, to become the greatest
level of who you can be.And so all of a sudden, you
take that unknown right, that future, and you're like, oh, that's
scary. No, what if thatis actually exciting? And so if you're
in excitement, are the exact exactsame vibration exactly. We just tend to
(08:03):
label the unknown future as fear,where we tend to label the known past
as excitement because we have a frameof reference. But what if you start
looking at the future you want tocreate as an exciting adventure that you have
yet to go on. And whenyou do that and you reframe your brain,
(08:28):
when you reframe how you look atstuff, all of the sudden,
you start to trust, you trustyour intuition, and trust your gut more.
Which is why this is about beyondlogic. Because anything I've ever created
in my life, anything I've everseen anyone else that I admire create in
(08:48):
their life, I always ask themhow'd you do it? And they're like,
oh my gosh, I did it. You know, they wouldn't never
say the words beyond logic, butthey did it by trusting the decision making
process. And so when we're forcedto make a decision from fear, we
usually make poor choices. Right whenwe're forced to make a decision from excitement,
(09:15):
we usually make more aligned choices.And so this is about getting you
out of the old program that thefear that the unknown future has to be
scary what if the unknown future isexciting. What if you're making space for
that new relationship. What if you'remaking space for that new place in your
(09:39):
life that if you weren't going throughthe hard times that you're currently going through,
wouldn't open you up to make adifferent choice. And So, when
we're in a life transition, whetherit's a divorce, a breakup, a
change in jobs, a change incareer, maybe you're moving to a new
(10:01):
place that you've never been to before. So when you were in a life
transition, we tend to cling tothe past. Right, We're like,
oh my god, I can't doit. Oh this is going to be
hard, I'm going through heartbreak.And yes, all those things might be
true, But what is also trueunderneath that is you are opening the door
(10:24):
to something that doesn't yet exist.And the universe can't give you new and
an old framework and an old paradigmin a familiar situation. The universe gives
you new when you are vulnerable,when you are letting go of something old,
when you're letting go of something that'scurrently no longer working for you,
(10:48):
right, and then all of asudden, you begin to open up to
allow a new possibility, and nothinggreat occurs right in the familiar. Usually
the greatness occurs in the unfamiliar andin the unknown. And so this I
(11:11):
wanted to really dive into some practicalthings that you can do to begin to
trust your gut more right beyond logic, right so that you can empower yourself
with decision making, with clarity ofchoice, with clarity of energy, with
(11:33):
the clarity of knowing. You mightnot know how the result is going to
manifest, but when you hang onto believing it's possible for you, you
open the door for it being ableto show up for you. It's when
we entertain doubt, when we entertainuncertainty, when we allow insecurities to get
(11:58):
the best of our selves. That'swhen we slow down the process. Because
the truth is, the transition periodcan be the moment in your life that
creates the most momentum. I'm gonnasay that again, that can be the
(12:20):
moment in your life that creates themost momentum. But when we get scared,
we tend to hoard. We hoardthe relationships that are no longer working.
We hoard the toxicity, We hoardthe negative beliefs, we hoard the
money. But I will tell youfrom personal experience, and I've worked with
(12:41):
people all around the world, whenwe're willing to let go, when we're
willing to surrender, when we're willingto trust our guts and to trust our
intuition in this process of unknowing andallow excitement to enter the next phase of
your life. Life can be avery empowering phase for you to begin anew
(13:05):
because who doesn't like a blank slate? Right, Like you wouldn't give Picasso
or Rembrandt or Monet a canvas thatanother painter painted on and expect them to
create a brilliant piece of work onan already painted canvas. Right, you
would give those artists a blank canvas. And so when we're in a transition
(13:31):
phase of our lives, we're beinggiven a blank canvas to paint our perfect
picture, right, to paint thelife that we want to be living.
But what happens for most people isthey're like, oh, let me take
this thing from my past it didn'twork, and put it on my canvas.
(13:52):
Right, let me take this tenyear old oil color and put it
on my canvas, because I don'twant to buy a new oil car oil
color I don't want to try somethingnew. It's like blank canvases are blank
for a reason, so we canstart again. And if you are in
(14:13):
a massive life transition in your lifecurrently, whether it's draw job, or
relationship or career, or you arevery clear that the life you currently living
is not working. You're hanging onto a relationship that is exhausting you,
that is draining you, that isdepleting you, and you're like, oh,
but it's love. Not if you'regetting sick, not if you're exhausted,
(14:39):
not if you're constantly fighting or worrying. That is not a blank canvas.
And so to all of you outthere that are in this life transition,
you want to pat yourself on theback. You want to say congratulations,
and you want to pull out ablank canvas and begin to dream again.
(15:01):
What would you like your life tolook like? What would you like
your abundance to feel like? Whatwould you like your body to look like?
Right? So, the the thoughtof beginning again can be terrifying for
most, But what we failed tolook at is the excitement of beginning again.
(15:22):
Right Like, when I went tocollege, I left the Midwest and
I went to Montana and I gotmy under grad degree in Montana, and
I remember driving up to that campus, right, driving up, going into
the dorm rooms, and I waslike, oh my gosh, new people
(15:43):
who have no idea who I am, who have no idea where I came
from. I get to start again. Right. And then after college,
or during my last semester of college, I moved to Ecuador for an exchange
program to learn Spanish, to hangout in a thorough country. And remember
(16:03):
getting on the plane to fly toEcuador and I was like, oh my
gosh, I get to begin again. Nobody knows who I am, right,
I get to speak a new languagethat might be really scary and uncomfortable,
but I get to begin again.And So for all of you out
there looking at the possibility of beginningagain, and it's scary to leave your
(16:25):
current situation. Maybe it's because ofthe money, maybe it's because of the
comfort, Maybe it's because of thefamiliarity. Maybe it's because you don't know
how to start over. The truthis you do. You just have to
reframe the way you're looking at this. Right. So, if you're an
artist, a blank canvas can bescary or exciting. If you're a writer,
(16:48):
A blank page can be scary orexciting. Right, if you're moving
to a new town, it canbe scary or exciting. It's just a
matter of how do you want toreframe the way that you look at your
life. Do you want to lookat your life like you're scared for the
future, or do you want toinvite that curious kid, that curious kid
(17:12):
that was willing to talk to strangers, that was willing to make new friends,
Like my son is eleven, Andyou know, because I took that
leap of faith over eleven years ago, and I said yes to getting on
a plane, to flying to Floridawhen I had no money, when I
had less than a thousand dollars tomy name, when I had no idea
(17:34):
how I was going to buy theplane tickets, or get the plane tickets,
or you know, all these things. I said yes. And because
of that, I was able totravel with my son and with my husband
at the time. Right, weseparated a year and a half after that
experience, but for eight years Itraveled around the world of my life,
(18:00):
and I watched my son make friendswith people who spoke Romanian or create Croatian,
who didn't speak English, they spokeItalian. And I watched him make
friends with people all around the worldwithout even speaking the same language. And
I watched him reconnect with those peopleover time, over the course of eight
(18:21):
years. I watched my son getexcited. Right when we're flying to Ireland
and in the Dublin airport there's allthese pictures of redheads, and here's my
five year old son, who's aredhead with his you know, roller suitcase,
and he's looking at pictures of peoplethat look like him. Right.
(18:42):
And so had I not taken thatbeyond logical choice, that giant yes in
my universe to do what felt authenticto me, I probably wouldn't be where
I am now. I wouldn't havebeen able to get of my son the
experience of traveling around the world,of having four Now I think he's on
(19:06):
his fifth passport, right, it'spretty cool. And so may this be
a reminder to all of you outthere that yes, the unknown can be
scary, and simultaneously you can rewireyour brain and you can shift your mindset
so that the unknown can actually bean adventurous, exciting new possibility for you.
(19:34):
To listen to your intuition to listenfor those giant yeses as well as
listen to those giant nos. AndI will tell you from personal experience and
from working with thousands of people allaround the world, from all different walks
of life, that if I sayto the people who in the moment were
(19:56):
scared to leave a toxic situation,a toxic job, a toxic relationship,
maybe a toxic apartment or a house, when they were scared at the moment,
right and I talked to them ayear later or two years later,
once they're out of that situation,once they made a different choice to move
on, And if I said toyou, I'll pay you ten million dollars
(20:18):
to go back to the life youhad, not one single person has ever
said, yeah, that sounds likea great idea. I'd love to go
back to that toxic, abusive,manipulative relationship. But in the process,
which is why it's called healing,because it requires us to go inside,
(20:40):
to take some space, to rest, to cut out the external noise,
to cut out other people's opinions.And so nobody knows more about you and
your body, you and your choicesthan you. Nobody does. Nobody does.
And so I've put together a listof seven different things that you can
(21:04):
do right to go beyond logic anduse your inner guide right for decision making,
because most people they want proof thatthe choice they're going to make is
going to work out. But you'llnever have proof until you make the choice.
(21:25):
Until you say yes to the energy, you can't wait for the result
to happen. And then you're like, okay, now let'll say yes to
the energy. So be like closingyour eyes and being like, I want
my dream house on you know,the cliffs of the Big Island, right,
and I want this and this andthis and this and this, And
(21:47):
you're like, well, I'm notgoing to say yes to anything until I
see proof of the house. It'slike, well, it doesn't really work
that way, right, it doesn'twork that way. You're building right,
as an analogy, you're building yourdream home by saying yes to the energies.
And so in order to build yourdream home, you have to visualize
(22:08):
and imagine what's the sort of feeling, what's the sensation. Do you want
Florida ceiling windows? Do you wantto overlook the ocean? Do you want
to be able to see the dolphinswith your binoculars. Do you want to
be able to walk down the cliffside, have a staircase or a path
so that you can go swimming withthese dolphins? Like, you have to
(22:30):
imagine and visualize. And when youimagine and visualize, you give yourself permission
to embody the energy of something new. Right, You're embodying the energy of
something new, ding, ding ding, And so blank canvas allows you to
(22:56):
begin to imagine, to visual lies, to sense, to feel the energies
of something new. Right. Andso when we're in that life phase,
in that life transition, we're like, oh my god, I'm so afraid
to let go of this abusive relationship. I'm so afraid to let go of
this toxicity. I'm so afraid totrust my ability to start again, to
(23:21):
make money, to create money,to invest my money, to attract the
people and the situations and the energiesthat will help expand and grow my life.
We get into that, I'm soafraid to let go of the familiar,
right, And that's okay, it'snot your fault. But there is
a different way. And that differentway is, instead of worrying about what
(23:45):
you're going to lose, worrying aboutwhat you might not be able to do.
You can be like, oh mygosh, I have a blank canvas,
and what if I were to givemyself permission to paint the picture,
to feel the energies of what Iwant in my life? And so you
go, I want joy, wantkindness, want people who are my cheerleaders.
(24:08):
But in order for me to havepeople who are my cheerleaders, I
need to be my cheerleader first.And so when you begin to visualize and
imagine the life you want to have, you have to look at And I
always tell people write it down,write down what you want. And I
believe that in last week's radio show, I gave a list of five questions.
(24:30):
I can't take credit for those fivequestions. It came out of four
of them came out of a podcastwith Robin Sharma and Lewis Howes. Right,
But if you look at the questions, it gives you a frame of
reference. So last week's radio show, right, check it out because it
(24:51):
will inform you on what you canstart to ask yourself. So you start
writing, visualizing, imagining, dreaming, and then what the next step you
want to take is you're like,okay, am I these energies. Am
I embodying these energies? Am Ibeing an example of it? Because I
can't expect anyone else to invest inmy business, or invest in me,
(25:15):
or invest in a relationship if I'mnot being the energies that I'm asking for.
Right, So we're going to getinto the nitty gritty of seven things
that you can do to start toreally hone in on your capacity to have
(25:37):
clear decision making that goes beyond logicthat trusts your intuition, because nothing brilliant
got manifested by logically talking your wayinto it. Because you can't logic the
unknown, you can't logic the future. Right when you begin to embody the
(25:59):
energy gees of the unknown, ofthe exciting of the adventure, of the
possibility, that's when your life beginsto come alive in every single I believe
this. I believe that every singleperson on the planet has the ability to
hone in on their intuition, totrust their capacities, and to take a
(26:22):
leap of faith in themselves. Becauseyou didn't come here to live a mediocre
life. You didn't come here justto survive. You didn't come here to
be abused and manipulated and take anadvantage of You came here to live a
fantastic life. You came here toembody and embrace and explore and discover and
(26:52):
become the best version of yourself thatyou can be. So we'll get into
the list, but before we do, we're going to take a break.
So stay tuned, and I've gotseven things that you can do to go
beyond logic and into trusting your decisionmaking. So stay tuned Home Times TV.

All right, so, welcome backto the show. We are talking
(29:55):
about beyond logic, right, yourinner guidance for this making. And so
as always right, we can bereally cute. We can also all get
in our way. But it's whenyou get really clear on what you want,
not from an external perspective. So, yes, you might want a
(30:18):
house, right, You might wantto move to the big Island. You
might want to buy a second propertyin you know, in the Hamptons or
whatever it is for you. Butthe thing that most people look at is
they look at the thing that theywant. And what I look at is
what do you think the thing youwant will give you. Right, We'll
(30:40):
give you happiness, we'll give youfreedom, we'll give you peace of mind.
Right. And sometimes the thing wethink that we want is not actually
what we want. Because when weget what we want and we're like,
oh, I don't like this.This isn't the relationship I wanted, This
isn't the house I wanted. Right. Remember when my husband and I bought
(31:00):
our house to sort of raise oursun in, we're like, this is
the perfect house, and you knowit was until we moved in. And
when we moved in, then wesaw, like you know, the damage
to the to the base boards thatwe didn't really notice. We saw the
really bad paint job that we didn'tnotice. And so it isn't until you
(31:22):
kind of move in right that you'relike, oh, I thought I wanted
this, but it's not as perfectas I thought. And so what makes
something perfect for you is if youfollow the energy of it. So I'm
going to share that in the bonus, but I wanted to give you seven
things that you can do to sortof ditch your logic and dive into your
(31:48):
intuitive capacities, dive into your abilityto trust your gut so that you can
forge a head in a way thatyou can trust because life will test you.
Life will throw you curveballs, lifewill send you energies that you weren't
asking for, and you can godown a rabbit hole that it will never
(32:10):
happen for you, or you cancome back to that unwavering belief and faith
in yourself and never give up onyour dreams. And when you don't give
up, right that's when the magichappens. And most people give up right
before the magic happens, because rightbefore the magic happens, it gets hard.
(32:34):
The universe tests you, right,people test you energies test you.
But if you can have and developthis unwavering faith in yourself, you will
begin to see your life as anadventure. You'll go on the journey of
not necessarily being so obsessed with results, but being obsessed with how you feel
(33:00):
on a daily basis. And that'swhere the magic is. So here are
let me make sure I got tothe list. I wrote it down,
so I'm gonna look at my notes. So here are seven things that you
can do to go beyond logic andget into your inner guide for decision making
right that blank canvas that might seemscary at first, but when you realize
(33:24):
it can also be really exciting.And so the first one, and this
is a really big one that Ithink is underlooked a lot, is to
let go of judgment. So you'reletting go of judgment of yourself. You're
letting go of judgment of your body. You're letting go of judgment of the
foods you eat. You're letting goof judgment of your friends. You're letting
(33:47):
go of judgment of your friends andtheir relationships that you think they could do
better on. You're letting go ofjudgment. Period. Now that doesn't mean
that judgment isn't going to exist aroundyou. It just means that you don't
buy the judgment as real. Andlet me give you an example. So
(34:09):
before I became an Intuitive consultant,I was quite messed up with my relationship
with my body. I always thoughtI was fat and ugly. I always
thought I was the you know,the fat girl at every party. I
always felt like I was the biggeston all of my soccer team volleyball teams.
(34:30):
I just never felt comfortable in myown skin. And yet, you
know, I wasn't far off fromthe size that I currently am, but
my mind was convincing me that Iwas not good enough. I wasn't pretty
enough, I wasn't skinny enough,And so I had a lot of judgment
of my body. And I wasconvinced that the judgments I had of my
(34:54):
body were really real. And soas long as I held onto those judgments,
it really messed me up. Andabout eleven years ago, I made
a commitment when I started my businessto go on what I called a year
long no judgment diet, which meantI didn't I for an entire year.
(35:15):
I wasn't allowed to look at myselfin the mirror and judge my body.
I wasn't allowed to eat food andjudge that what I was eating was going
to make me fat, right,because it was an awful, unending cycle
that I could never get off of. And so when I began to let
go of the judgments specifically I hadof myself, of my body, of
(35:38):
food, of exercise, all ofa sudden, the doors opened, a
blank canvas revealed itself for all thisenergy that now was available to me because
I finally stopped letting go of judgment. And here's the piece that I thought
was really fascinating. And I believethis is true for almost every everyone.
(36:00):
When you let go of the judgmentyou think is real, right, the
judgment you think is real is theproblem you were creating with yourself. So
bear with me for a second.So as long as I thought the judgments
of my body were real, Ithen had a psychic antenna up to attract
(36:22):
anyone and everyone in the entire worldthat had judgments of their body. And
so as I attracted them, Iwas like, see, I have the
judgment I have in my body isreal. See, nobody thinks I'm pretty
see. And as long as Ihad that belief, I would get compliments
more than anyone I knew, right, and I couldn't hear them. I
(36:44):
didn't believe them. I thought theywere lying to me. And so as
long as I was messed up andembedded in believing the judgments I had of
myself were real, I couldn't accessmy intuition. I couldn't access myself psychic
and intuitive abilities, and I couldn'taccess the gift that I actually have to
(37:07):
help people activate their body's own naturalhealing abilities. Because the body's natural state
is to heal itself. Your bodydoesn't want to be fat. It's fat
because you're believing it's real. Andwhen you start to play with this idea
of letting go of judgment, itjust means not that judgment will disappear.
(37:30):
It just means that you no longerpay attention or believe that those judgments are
real. And so my favorite toolto do is just to go stop it,
right, And I created this elevenyears ago when I created something called
the no Judgment diet. And youknow, there are thousands of people from
around the world that tried this nojudgment diet. I facilitated classes all around
(37:54):
the world, and it helped peoplebreak free out of the judgment that they
had of their body. And aslong as we're judging right, judgment creates
lack and what you focus on grows. And so if you're focusing on what
isn't working, what you don't have, what you have a right to judge
(38:15):
as real, you will not createspace for new and for what you actually
want. You'll keep perpetuating this judgmentcycle, right, And so you want
to whenever you notice some people theirjudgments on money, some people their judgment
(38:37):
is on their lack of self esteem, some people their judgment, and most
women their judgment is on their bodies. And the reason why I'm so obsessed
with bodies and the idea that wecan actually break free is that when you
let go of the judgment that youhave of your body that you think is
real, you open the door tomore energy, to more space, to
(39:00):
more liveness, You open the doorto trusting your intuition, and you open
the door to recognizing that you probablyhave a gift with your body that you
didn't know you have. Because everysingle body on the planet, this is
just my personal belief, has thecapacity. Doesn't mean everyone chooses it.
But every single body on the planethas the capacity to be able to heal
(39:24):
the people they're around, whether it'slike animals. Animals are natural healers,
babies natural healers. Right, andhealing is just a high vibration energy.
So when you get around somebody thathas less judgment in their universe, there
is like this aliveness. You wantto spend more time with them. Right.
(39:45):
Empaths usually have very high vibrating energies, but they tend to attract low
vibration people. Right. And thenthe EmPATH is like, and by the
way, I resonate with this.The EmPATH is like, oh, oh
yay, another playmate. I canheal them. I can help them.
They're excited about my energy. Andthen the give and the give and the
(40:07):
give and the give and the giveand the other person if they're not an
EmPATH, or if they're not interestedin being a high vibration they take.
They take, they take, theytake, they take, and it can
be extremely exhausting, which is whyif you're in a life transition, it
probably can feel pretty scary to takethat leap of faith in yourself. So
(40:28):
the first thing you want to dois you want to start to recognize the
areas of your life where you havethe most judgment about you, right,
and then you're going to put yourselfon a year long no judgment diet.
And the way you do it isyou stop it. Ain nobody got time
for judgment. Right. Judgment doesnot create judgment destroys. And so you
(40:52):
want to stop the judgments, andyou want to replace that judgment that you
have with gratitude, with possibility,with excitement, with energy. Okay,
And so when you stop judging you, when you stop judging your choices,
you will start to trust the adventureof the energy of living. And the
(41:13):
energy of living is alive, it'sexciting, it's enthusiastic, it's encouraging,
it's vibrant, it's electric, it'shappy, it's joyous. It might be
intense, it might be peaceful,right, because every single one of you
has a different energetic frequency that makesup your capacity to create your life.
(41:37):
The problem is most of us arehanging on to the judgments, to the
low vibrations, to the low frequencies, and we keep perpetuating that as if
it's real. So that's number oneis let go of judgment. Number two
and I believe this is really importantis have no regrets right every single you
(41:58):
know, someone asked me years ago, like why I have this elephant tattoo
on my arm? And when Ioriginally got the tattoo, I believe I
was like twenty nine, thirty yearsold, thirty one somewhere in there.
I got it for Ganesh energy,which is the Indian deity representative of an
elephant, and the Indian dt Ganeshwas considered the remover of obstacles, and
(42:24):
so every obstacle is not actually anobstacle. It's a possibility in disguise.
And so when you regret your past, you're basically not allowing yourself to grow
from your life choices. Right,no regrets, no mistakes, it's just
(42:45):
cute life choices. You're doing thebest you can with what you have,
right now, that's it, right. My parents they did the best they
could. My mom is still doingthe best she can. My dad he's
on the other side, right.But we all are always trying to do
the best we can with what wehave. And so don't regret your past.
(43:06):
Learn from the choices you made,and learn to use your past as
a sort of as an ability tosort of springboard into a new energy.
And so when you look at lifechoices that didn't work out for you,
you can ask what did you learn, what worked, what didn't work?
(43:30):
Right, and what would you domore of? Right? And these four
questions right, what worked, whatdidn't work? What would you do more
of? And what did you learnor what would you do different in the
future. Those four things that youcan play with. These are the four
things that when I interview or wheni'm you know, having dinner with extremely
(43:50):
successful people, I'm asking I asked, like, what did you do?
And then they give me that feedback? Right, I looked at what was
working, I looked at what wasn't. I asked what I could have more
of, and asked how to makemore of that happen? Okay, So
you don't want to have regrets foryour life. You want to learn from
the choices that didn't work out theway you thought they would. And you're
(44:12):
not wrong for those choices not workingout. It's the universe's way of going.
Here's another blank canvas which you cancreate from. If you choose to
let go of judgment, let goof judging yourself. If you choose to
let go of regrets and if youchoose to learn. Okay, So number
three is, don't make decisions reallyimportant based on other people's opinions. Don't
(44:37):
make decisions based on other people's opinions. Make decisions based on does this feel
authentic and real and true for you? Right? And does this match where
you want to be going? Okay, So number four and similar to three,
(44:57):
but a little bit different. Whatother people think about you is none
of your business. Right, Itdoes not matter what other people think about
you. It matters that you believein yourself. Because here's the deal.
Most people will never be able tosee the possibilities you see in the world.
(45:17):
You have a unique DNA, uniqueset of blueprints and a unique way
of looking at the world, aunique way of living in the world.
And know, right, what otherpeople think about you is none of your
business, do you. It's aboutyou cultivating a belief in yourself where you
have unwavering faith in your ability totrust the choices you make. And when
(45:45):
you make a choice that doesn't workout, you're like, oh, well,
I learned from it. Oh well, I didn't see that one coming.
Great, Now I'm going to learnfrom it and I'll never make that
same energetic choice again. I'll useit as fuel, I'll use it as
information, I'll use it as alearning experience to then make a new choice.
(46:07):
Okay, number five, don't baseand this is important from the beginning
of the show. Don't base yourchoices on fears and insecurities, right,
Don't base your choices on fears andinsecurities, because if you base your choices
on fears and insecurities, you're basingyour choices on the past. So you're
(46:30):
not basing your choices on a blankcanvas. You're basing your choices on a
canvas that's already been painted on andmaybe a five year old painted on it.
And maybe that five year old isa genius. Right, But guess
what, it's not your life.It's not your blank canvas. It's somebody
else's energetic imprint. So you don'twant to base your choices on fears and
(46:51):
insecurities, right. And here's abig thing is most people when they're looking
at making a choice in the future, right, creating something new, they're
like, oh, fear has tobe absent, insecurity has to be absent
in order for me to choose thatI work with some amazing people all around
the world, and fear and insecurityexist. They just don't pay attention to
(47:16):
it, right, They just don'tbelieve it as real. They don't buy
it that fear and insecurity can stopthem, right. They use it as
a platform. And I believe itwas Beyonce who said, if I am
about to get on stage and Idon't have the sweaty palms and the butterflies
and what feels like anxiety, thenthat's the day I should probably stop performing,
(47:42):
because I know that that means thosebutterflies, sweaty palms, heart racing.
It means I care. I careabout what I'm putting out in the
world. I care about who I'mimpacting right now. And so fear sometimes
can be just a reminder that youactually care about where you want to go,
(48:04):
who you want to connect with,what you want to create in your
life. Right, So use itas a springboard. Don't try to get
rid of it in order to feelgood about your choices. Okay, So
number six is learn to pay attentionto your body's communication style. Now why
(48:25):
am I talking about this? Whenyou have judgment in your world, you
are not as primed to be ableto listen to your body's cues and signals.
Right now, your body is aconscious, living, breathing, ever
evolving entity. Right every twenty fourhours, eight hundred and sixty four million
(48:51):
cells leave your body will simultaneously eighthundred and sixty four million new cells come
into your body. So that meansthat right when you are judging, you're
dampening your ability to pay attention toyour body's cues and signals. And so
when this person, right from theexample of the story I told in the
(49:13):
beginning of show, when this personwas like, do you want to fly
to Florida? Oh, by theway, you don't have money, you
don't have a plane ticket, youdon't have a hotel, you're bringing your
son and your husband. Are youabsolutely crazy? Logic would have told me
say no, but the energy waslike yes, totally illogical, completely unreasonable.
(49:35):
And yet that one choice springboarded meinto building a business that has allowed
me to travel the world to workwith incredible people, and just like dive
into I am fascinated by people,but I'm also fascinated about by our ability
to rewire, to make better choices, to learn from our past choices.
(50:00):
They're not mistakes. They're just wewere making the best choice with what we
had and the information we knew inthe moment. Okay, And so you
want to pay attention to your body'scommunication style. Is your body breaking out
in goosebumps? Does your heart leanforward? Do you get excited? Are
you you know, if you're talkingto somebody new and you notice that you're
(50:22):
collapsed in your energy, it's probablynot somebody that you are meant to connect
with. Or you might be likeallowing insecurity to take over, So you're
letting yourself be less than the personthat you're connecting with. Right, All
bodies cues, so goosebumps, lightness, your throat swells, or you get
(50:45):
like excited, your eyes get bright. You're paying attention to your body's cues
and signals because your body's cues andsignals are kind of like the invisible energy
underneath your blank canvas. They're thethings that are going to springboard you forward.
They're the things that are going toallow you to sort of bypass your
(51:07):
logic and dive into the energetics thoseyes is that you can't quite know,
Oh yeah, it's logical, it'sgoing to make sense. Oh, it's
going to work out for me.Say yes, right, and then ask
the universe. Hey, So whenI said yes, it was like,
okay, help me if you actuallywant me to get on a plane with
my son and my husband and flyto Florida. I have less than a
(51:29):
thousand dollars in my name, Ihave no idea how to make this work.
I'm going to say yes, andthen you're going to help me bring
to the pieces together. And ifit's meant for you, if it's right
for you, the pieces will fallinto place as if by magic, and
like easily and effortlessly and miraculously.It's when those things aren't meant for you
(51:52):
that it'll be hard. It'll feellike a struggle. It'll feel like you
got a fight for it, right, So say yes and see what happens.
Okay, So you want to payattention to those body cues and signals,
and when you do, you willthen have your own internal compass where
(52:13):
you're no longer looking for external validation, You're no longer trying to get it
right right, You're actually just likeI'm saying yes because of the energy I
feel. I'm saying yes because Itrust myself and this is what the energy
says. Okay, and then numberseven. Number seven is trust your yes,
(52:37):
especially when it makes no sense.It's the things that I watch people
who I work with they say yesto makes no sense and they're you know,
terrified. Right, there's a word. I think it was somebody on
X Factor said, I'm x terrified. I'm excited and terrified at the same
time. I'm x terrified. Andso in that excitement, right, say
(52:58):
yes, allow the energies, andthen if it's meant for you, it
will come to fruition what total is. If it's not meant for you,
well then guess what you'll either getthat opportunity in the future when maybe things
are more aligned right. Maybe itwasn't the right person, maybe it was
the right piece of property, maybeit wasn't the right land. Like you
(53:21):
never know. But when you trustyou and you trust the universe, everything
does work out. It just canfeel like it's not working out in the
moment that you're in a massive lifetransition. Okay, And so then the
bonus one, right, and thisis a bonus exercise that you can do
to get really clear on the energiesyou want to use on that blank canvas.
(53:46):
So it's like the invisible fibers inthe canvas. Right, You're going
to write down all the energies thatare important to you. So, do
you want join in your life?Do you want adventure? Do you want
freedom? Do you want excitement?Do you want unconditional love? Do you
want you know, the feeling ofeuphoria? Write down those energies. Then
(54:07):
look at your life and go,Okay, the things that I say that
I want are they matching? Becausea lot of times you might go,
oh my god, I've been askingfor this, but I actually don't want
that, actually don't want that.And so, my friends, there is
no right way or wrong way totrust yourself. This is about giving you
(54:28):
information so that you can feel empoweredto get beyond the logic, get beyond
the how, and dive into theenergetics and the energies that are important to
you to begin to build your life. So I want to thank you for

explore. Here is your host,Katherine Macintosh. All right, my magical
(00:55):
friend, so welcome to another episode. Today is a good day. So
the topic we're going to be talkingabout today is beyond logic, right,
your inner guide for decision making.And before we kind of dive into the
topic, I want to start outwith a story that sort of demonstrates what
(01:15):
I'm talking about. So years ago, right, the way that I started
my business was definitely not logical.So I'm going to share probably a few
stories. So the first one is, you know, when my son was
two weeks old, my husband atthe time decided to quit his multiple six
(01:36):
figure job, leaving us with kindof no savings, no backup plan,
and he's like, oh, I'mgoing to start a business. And I
have been working for myself for along time, and I kind of knew
the ins and outs. I think, you know, sometimes you're a born
entrepreneur, sometimes you learn how tobe an entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur isn't
(01:57):
logical, ever, and business plansare usually the logical way to convince yourself
that you can start a business.But most people who start businesses, it's
like they just get this gut instinctor this gut decision. And that's exactly
what happened to me. So Ihad when I started my business, I
had less than a thousand dollars tomy name. I had no credit cards.
(02:22):
You know, we had almost lostour house, we almost had to
file for bankruptcy, right, andtrying to make money the logical way it
just wasn't working. And so Ijust had this hit of like, Okay,
this makes absolutely no sense, butI'm going to fly with my son
as an infant to Italy to takea training to then start a business.
(02:47):
Right. This was like so notlogical. I didn't have the money on
a credit card, I didn't evenhave a credit card, and something in
me, like all of the piecesof the puzzle started to work work together.
When I made this illogical decision tostart a business with less than one
thousand dollars to my name, andwithin a very short amount of time,
(03:09):
like that first month, right,I ended up making over ten thousand dollars.
And so the story I actually wantedto tell was the story of making
that choice. So here I amstarting a business, you know, making
logical decisions of how to start mybusiness, how to connect with people,
(03:30):
how to network, how to letpeople know that I had started sort of
an intuitive consulting business. And soI'm at this class and I'm taking a
class where I thought I was goingto make money. It was logical.
I didn't make any money. Infact, I lost money by going to
this class. And the person teachingthe class came up to me, He's
(03:53):
like, wow, I can tellyou're really gifted at bodies. And it
was a famous person. He wasa famous athlete, and he just said,
Hey, would you like to flydown to Florida and work on bodies?
And before I could even like hearthe logical explanation of what he was
asking. My entire body was likeyes. And then I got done with
(04:17):
that, and I was like,oh my gosh, I have no money,
I have no plane tickets, Idon't have a hotel, you know,
and I'm going to take my sonand my husband down to Florida with
me. I live in Colorado,still lived in Colorado back then. But
I made this illogical decision and itwas like, yes, I'll go because
(04:38):
the energy was a match for whatI wanted to have as my business,
for what I wanted to have asmy life. I saw myself traveling the
world. I saw myself working onbodies. I saw myself doing energy work,
and yet I didn't know the howI was going to make that happen.
I just had such a strong internaldesire or an internal knowing that that
(05:01):
was the path I was meant tobe on. I had an internal knowing
when I was a little kid thatI wanted to work with energy for a
living, but I never saw examplesof it, and so I didn't know
how. And so here I amat this class, this man asked me
to fly down to Florida, andI'm like yes, And of course my
(05:23):
tickets weren't paid for the hotel wasn'tpaid for, you know, But all
of these things after I said yes, started to fall into place. And
by the way, from the timehe asked me to the time I was
supposed to be in Florida, itwas a three week period, right,
So I had three weeks to comeup with the money, not just for
the travel, but to come upwith the money to pay the mortgage,
(05:45):
to come up with the money tofund my life with my son and my
husband, right because mind you,he no longer was making money, and
so it was just this giant yesin my world. I got down there,
and I ended up being totally bookedout. I ended up making a
ton of money. I ended upteaching a few classes, and ended up
(06:08):
basically gathering a small list of clientsthat wanted to work with me. And
that's how my business was born.And so I'm sharing that with you because
most of us, when we lookat what we want to create as our
future, right, that future isunknown, the future is uncertain, the
(06:30):
future is insecure, right, wetend to associate anything in the future that's
an unknown, that's an unpredictable,that's uncertain as Oh, I'm afraid to
start right, I'm afraid to startthat. But yet in our own lives,
when we have a frame of referencefor something from our past. So
(06:54):
maybe you went on a roller coasterride, and before you got on the
roller coaster, you were afraid,but after the experience it was an exhilarating
experience, You're like, oh,my god, that was so exciting.
And so then you start associating oh, roller coaster ride with excitement. Oh,
getting on a plane for the firsttime to go somewhere I've never been.
(07:15):
I might be afraid before I getthere, but the experience of traveling
and being in a new place andexperiencing new cultures and new food and you
know, just new customs, allof a sudden you associate that with like,
Oh, that's exciting because I growand I learn and I become something
greater. Right, And the wholekey to life, I believe, is
(07:40):
to become the best version of yourselfyou can be, to become the greatest
level of who you can be.And so all of a sudden, you
take that unknown right, that future, and you're like, oh, that's
scary. No, what if thatis actually exciting? And so if you're
in excitement, are the exact exactsame vibration exactly. We just tend to
(08:03):
label the unknown future as fear,where we tend to label the known past
as excitement because we have a frameof reference. But what if you start
looking at the future you want tocreate as an exciting adventure that you have
yet to go on. And whenyou do that and you reframe your brain,
(08:28):
when you reframe how you look atstuff, all of the sudden,
you start to trust, you trustyour intuition, and trust your gut more.
Which is why this is about beyondlogic. Because anything I've ever created
in my life, anything I've everseen anyone else that I admire create in
(08:48):
their life, I always ask themhow'd you do it? And they're like,
oh my gosh, I did it. You know, they wouldn't never
say the words beyond logic, butthey did it by trusting the decision making
process. And so when we're forcedto make a decision from fear, we
usually make poor choices. Right whenwe're forced to make a decision from excitement,
(09:15):
we usually make more aligned choices.And so this is about getting you
out of the old program that thefear that the unknown future has to be
scary what if the unknown future isexciting. What if you're making space for
that new relationship. What if you'remaking space for that new place in your
(09:39):
life that if you weren't going throughthe hard times that you're currently going through,
wouldn't open you up to make adifferent choice. And So, when
we're in a life transition, whetherit's a divorce, a breakup, a
change in jobs, a change incareer, maybe you're moving to a new
(10:01):
place that you've never been to before. So when you were in a life
transition, we tend to cling tothe past. Right, We're like,
oh my god, I can't doit. Oh this is going to be
hard, I'm going through heartbreak.And yes, all those things might be
true, But what is also trueunderneath that is you are opening the door
(10:24):
to something that doesn't yet exist.And the universe can't give you new and
an old framework and an old paradigmin a familiar situation. The universe gives
you new when you are vulnerable,when you are letting go of something old,
when you're letting go of something that'scurrently no longer working for you,
(10:48):
right, and then all of asudden, you begin to open up to
allow a new possibility, and nothinggreat occurs right in the familiar. Usually
the greatness occurs in the unfamiliar andin the unknown. And so this I
(11:11):
wanted to really dive into some practicalthings that you can do to begin to
trust your gut more right beyond logic, right so that you can empower yourself
with decision making, with clarity ofchoice, with clarity of energy, with
(11:33):
the clarity of knowing. You mightnot know how the result is going to
manifest, but when you hang onto believing it's possible for you, you
open the door for it being ableto show up for you. It's when
we entertain doubt, when we entertainuncertainty, when we allow insecurities to get
(11:58):
the best of our selves. That'swhen we slow down the process. Because
the truth is, the transition periodcan be the moment in your life that
creates the most momentum. I'm gonnasay that again, that can be the
(12:20):
moment in your life that creates themost momentum. But when we get scared,
we tend to hoard. We hoardthe relationships that are no longer working.
We hoard the toxicity, We hoardthe negative beliefs, we hoard the
money. But I will tell youfrom personal experience, and I've worked with
(12:41):
people all around the world, whenwe're willing to let go, when we're
willing to surrender, when we're willingto trust our guts and to trust our
intuition in this process of unknowing andallow excitement to enter the next phase of
your life. Life can be avery empowering phase for you to begin anew
(13:05):
because who doesn't like a blank slate? Right, Like you wouldn't give Picasso
or Rembrandt or Monet a canvas thatanother painter painted on and expect them to
create a brilliant piece of work onan already painted canvas. Right, you
would give those artists a blank canvas. And so when we're in a transition
(13:31):
phase of our lives, we're beinggiven a blank canvas to paint our perfect
picture, right, to paint thelife that we want to be living.
But what happens for most people isthey're like, oh, let me take
this thing from my past it didn'twork, and put it on my canvas.
(13:52):
Right, let me take this tenyear old oil color and put it
on my canvas, because I don'twant to buy a new oil car oil
color I don't want to try somethingnew. It's like blank canvases are blank
for a reason, so we canstart again. And if you are in
(14:13):
a massive life transition in your lifecurrently, whether it's draw job, or
relationship or career, or you arevery clear that the life you currently living
is not working. You're hanging onto a relationship that is exhausting you,
that is draining you, that isdepleting you, and you're like, oh,
but it's love. Not if you'regetting sick, not if you're exhausted,
(14:39):
not if you're constantly fighting or worrying. That is not a blank canvas.
And so to all of you outthere that are in this life transition,
you want to pat yourself on theback. You want to say congratulations,
and you want to pull out ablank canvas and begin to dream again.
(15:01):
What would you like your life tolook like? What would you like
your abundance to feel like? Whatwould you like your body to look like?
Right? So, the the thoughtof beginning again can be terrifying for
most, But what we failed tolook at is the excitement of beginning again.
(15:22):
Right Like, when I went tocollege, I left the Midwest and
I went to Montana and I gotmy under grad degree in Montana, and
I remember driving up to that campus, right, driving up, going into
the dorm rooms, and I waslike, oh my gosh, new people
(15:43):
who have no idea who I am, who have no idea where I came
from. I get to start again. Right. And then after college,
or during my last semester of college, I moved to Ecuador for an exchange
program to learn Spanish, to hangout in a thorough country. And remember
(16:03):
getting on the plane to fly toEcuador and I was like, oh my
gosh, I get to begin again. Nobody knows who I am, right,
I get to speak a new languagethat might be really scary and uncomfortable,
but I get to begin again.And So for all of you out
there looking at the possibility of beginningagain, and it's scary to leave your
(16:25):
current situation. Maybe it's because ofthe money, maybe it's because of the
comfort, Maybe it's because of thefamiliarity. Maybe it's because you don't know
how to start over. The truthis you do. You just have to
reframe the way you're looking at this. Right. So, if you're an
artist, a blank canvas can bescary or exciting. If you're a writer,
(16:48):
A blank page can be scary orexciting. Right, if you're moving
to a new town, it canbe scary or exciting. It's just a
matter of how do you want toreframe the way that you look at your
life. Do you want to lookat your life like you're scared for the
future, or do you want toinvite that curious kid, that curious kid
(17:12):
that was willing to talk to strangers, that was willing to make new friends,
Like my son is eleven, Andyou know, because I took that
leap of faith over eleven years ago, and I said yes to getting on
a plane, to flying to Floridawhen I had no money, when I
had less than a thousand dollars tomy name, when I had no idea
(17:34):
how I was going to buy theplane tickets, or get the plane tickets,
or you know, all these things. I said yes. And because
of that, I was able totravel with my son and with my husband
at the time. Right, weseparated a year and a half after that
experience, but for eight years Itraveled around the world of my life,
(18:00):
and I watched my son make friendswith people who spoke Romanian or create Croatian,
who didn't speak English, they spokeItalian. And I watched him make
friends with people all around the worldwithout even speaking the same language. And
I watched him reconnect with those peopleover time, over the course of eight
(18:21):
years. I watched my son getexcited. Right when we're flying to Ireland
and in the Dublin airport there's allthese pictures of redheads, and here's my
five year old son, who's aredhead with his you know, roller suitcase,
and he's looking at pictures of peoplethat look like him. Right.
(18:42):
And so had I not taken thatbeyond logical choice, that giant yes in
my universe to do what felt authenticto me, I probably wouldn't be where
I am now. I wouldn't havebeen able to get of my son the
experience of traveling around the world,of having four Now I think he's on
(19:06):
his fifth passport, right, it'spretty cool. And so may this be
a reminder to all of you outthere that yes, the unknown can be
scary, and simultaneously you can rewireyour brain and you can shift your mindset
so that the unknown can actually bean adventurous, exciting new possibility for you.
(19:34):
To listen to your intuition to listenfor those giant yeses as well as
listen to those giant nos. AndI will tell you from personal experience and
from working with thousands of people allaround the world, from all different walks
of life, that if I sayto the people who in the moment were
(19:56):
scared to leave a toxic situation,a toxic job, a toxic relationship,
maybe a toxic apartment or a house, when they were scared at the moment,
right and I talked to them ayear later or two years later,
once they're out of that situation,once they made a different choice to move
on, And if I said toyou, I'll pay you ten million dollars
(20:18):
to go back to the life youhad, not one single person has ever
said, yeah, that sounds likea great idea. I'd love to go
back to that toxic, abusive,manipulative relationship. But in the process,
which is why it's called healing,because it requires us to go inside,
(20:40):
to take some space, to rest, to cut out the external noise,
to cut out other people's opinions.And so nobody knows more about you and
your body, you and your choicesthan you. Nobody does. Nobody does.
And so I've put together a listof seven different things that you can
(21:04):
do right to go beyond logic anduse your inner guide right for decision making,
because most people they want proof thatthe choice they're going to make is
going to work out. But you'llnever have proof until you make the choice.
(21:25):
Until you say yes to the energy, you can't wait for the result
to happen. And then you're like, okay, now let'll say yes to
the energy. So be like closingyour eyes and being like, I want
my dream house on you know,the cliffs of the Big Island, right,
and I want this and this andthis and this and this, And
(21:47):
you're like, well, I'm notgoing to say yes to anything until I
see proof of the house. It'slike, well, it doesn't really work
that way, right, it doesn'twork that way. You're building right,
as an analogy, you're building yourdream home by saying yes to the energies.
And so in order to build yourdream home, you have to visualize
(22:08):
and imagine what's the sort of feeling, what's the sensation. Do you want
Florida ceiling windows? Do you wantto overlook the ocean? Do you want
to be able to see the dolphinswith your binoculars. Do you want to
be able to walk down the cliffside, have a staircase or a path
so that you can go swimming withthese dolphins? Like, you have to
(22:30):
imagine and visualize. And when youimagine and visualize, you give yourself permission
to embody the energy of something new. Right, You're embodying the energy of
something new, ding, ding ding, And so blank canvas allows you to
(22:56):
begin to imagine, to visual lies, to sense, to feel the energies
of something new. Right. Andso when we're in that life phase,
in that life transition, we're like, oh my god, I'm so afraid
to let go of this abusive relationship. I'm so afraid to let go of
this toxicity. I'm so afraid totrust my ability to start again, to
(23:21):
make money, to create money,to invest my money, to attract the
people and the situations and the energiesthat will help expand and grow my life.
We get into that, I'm soafraid to let go of the familiar,
right, And that's okay, it'snot your fault. But there is
a different way. And that differentway is, instead of worrying about what
(23:45):
you're going to lose, worrying aboutwhat you might not be able to do.
You can be like, oh mygosh, I have a blank canvas,
and what if I were to givemyself permission to paint the picture,
to feel the energies of what Iwant in my life? And so you
go, I want joy, wantkindness, want people who are my cheerleaders.
(24:08):
But in order for me to havepeople who are my cheerleaders, I
need to be my cheerleader first.And so when you begin to visualize and
imagine the life you want to have, you have to look at And I
always tell people write it down,write down what you want. And I
believe that in last week's radio show, I gave a list of five questions.
(24:30):
I can't take credit for those fivequestions. It came out of four
of them came out of a podcastwith Robin Sharma and Lewis Howes. Right,
But if you look at the questions, it gives you a frame of
reference. So last week's radio show, right, check it out because it
(24:51):
will inform you on what you canstart to ask yourself. So you start
writing, visualizing, imagining, dreaming, and then what the next step you
want to take is you're like,okay, am I these energies. Am
I embodying these energies? Am Ibeing an example of it? Because I
can't expect anyone else to invest inmy business, or invest in me,
(25:15):
or invest in a relationship if I'mnot being the energies that I'm asking for.
Right, So we're going to getinto the nitty gritty of seven things
that you can do to start toreally hone in on your capacity to have
(25:37):
clear decision making that goes beyond logicthat trusts your intuition, because nothing brilliant
got manifested by logically talking your wayinto it. Because you can't logic the
unknown, you can't logic the future. Right when you begin to embody the
(25:59):
energy gees of the unknown, ofthe exciting of the adventure, of the
possibility, that's when your life beginsto come alive in every single I believe
this. I believe that every singleperson on the planet has the ability to
hone in on their intuition, totrust their capacities, and to take a
(26:22):
leap of faith in themselves. Becauseyou didn't come here to live a mediocre
life. You didn't come here justto survive. You didn't come here to
be abused and manipulated and take anadvantage of You came here to live a
fantastic life. You came here toembody and embrace and explore and discover and
(26:52):
become the best version of yourself thatyou can be. So we'll get into
the list, but before we do, we're going to take a break.
So stay tuned, and I've gotseven things that you can do to go
beyond logic and into trusting your decisionmaking. So stay tuned Home Times TV.

All right, so, welcome backto the show. We are talking
(29:55):
about beyond logic, right, yourinner guidance for this making. And so
as always right, we can bereally cute. We can also all get
in our way. But it's whenyou get really clear on what you want,
not from an external perspective. So, yes, you might want a
(30:18):
house, right, You might wantto move to the big Island. You
might want to buy a second propertyin you know, in the Hamptons or
whatever it is for you. Butthe thing that most people look at is
they look at the thing that theywant. And what I look at is
what do you think the thing youwant will give you. Right, We'll
(30:40):
give you happiness, we'll give youfreedom, we'll give you peace of mind.
Right. And sometimes the thing wethink that we want is not actually
what we want. Because when weget what we want and we're like,
oh, I don't like this.This isn't the relationship I wanted, This
isn't the house I wanted. Right. Remember when my husband and I bought
(31:00):
our house to sort of raise oursun in, we're like, this is
the perfect house, and you knowit was until we moved in. And
when we moved in, then wesaw, like you know, the damage
to the to the base boards thatwe didn't really notice. We saw the
really bad paint job that we didn'tnotice. And so it isn't until you
(31:22):
kind of move in right that you'relike, oh, I thought I wanted
this, but it's not as perfectas I thought. And so what makes
something perfect for you is if youfollow the energy of it. So I'm
going to share that in the bonus, but I wanted to give you seven
things that you can do to sortof ditch your logic and dive into your
(31:48):
intuitive capacities, dive into your abilityto trust your gut so that you can
forge a head in a way thatyou can trust because life will test you.
Life will throw you curveballs, lifewill send you energies that you weren't
asking for, and you can godown a rabbit hole that it will never
(32:10):
happen for you, or you cancome back to that unwavering belief and faith
in yourself and never give up onyour dreams. And when you don't give
up, right that's when the magichappens. And most people give up right
before the magic happens, because rightbefore the magic happens, it gets hard.
(32:34):
The universe tests you, right,people test you energies test you.
But if you can have and developthis unwavering faith in yourself, you will
begin to see your life as anadventure. You'll go on the journey of
not necessarily being so obsessed with results, but being obsessed with how you feel
(33:00):
on a daily basis. And that'swhere the magic is. So here are
let me make sure I got tothe list. I wrote it down,
so I'm gonna look at my notes. So here are seven things that you
can do to go beyond logic andget into your inner guide for decision making
right that blank canvas that might seemscary at first, but when you realize
(33:24):
it can also be really exciting.And so the first one, and this
is a really big one that Ithink is underlooked a lot, is to
let go of judgment. So you'reletting go of judgment of yourself. You're
letting go of judgment of your body. You're letting go of judgment of the
foods you eat. You're letting goof judgment of your friends. You're letting
(33:47):
go of judgment of your friends andtheir relationships that you think they could do
better on. You're letting go ofjudgment. Period. Now that doesn't mean
that judgment isn't going to exist aroundyou. It just means that you don't
buy the judgment as real. Andlet me give you an example. So
(34:09):
before I became an Intuitive consultant,I was quite messed up with my relationship
with my body. I always thoughtI was fat and ugly. I always
thought I was the you know,the fat girl at every party. I
always felt like I was the biggeston all of my soccer team volleyball teams.
(34:30):
I just never felt comfortable in myown skin. And yet, you
know, I wasn't far off fromthe size that I currently am, but
my mind was convincing me that Iwas not good enough. I wasn't pretty
enough, I wasn't skinny enough,And so I had a lot of judgment
of my body. And I wasconvinced that the judgments I had of my
(34:54):
body were really real. And soas long as I held onto those judgments,
it really messed me up. Andabout eleven years ago, I made
a commitment when I started my businessto go on what I called a year
long no judgment diet, which meantI didn't I for an entire year.
(35:15):
I wasn't allowed to look at myselfin the mirror and judge my body.
I wasn't allowed to eat food andjudge that what I was eating was going
to make me fat, right,because it was an awful, unending cycle
that I could never get off of. And so when I began to let
go of the judgments specifically I hadof myself, of my body, of
(35:38):
food, of exercise, all ofa sudden, the doors opened, a
blank canvas revealed itself for all thisenergy that now was available to me because
I finally stopped letting go of judgment. And here's the piece that I thought
was really fascinating. And I believethis is true for almost every everyone.
(36:00):
When you let go of the judgmentyou think is real, right, the
judgment you think is real is theproblem you were creating with yourself. So
bear with me for a second.So as long as I thought the judgments
of my body were real, Ithen had a psychic antenna up to attract
(36:22):
anyone and everyone in the entire worldthat had judgments of their body. And
so as I attracted them, Iwas like, see, I have the
judgment I have in my body isreal. See, nobody thinks I'm pretty
see. And as long as Ihad that belief, I would get compliments
more than anyone I knew, right, and I couldn't hear them. I
(36:44):
didn't believe them. I thought theywere lying to me. And so as
long as I was messed up andembedded in believing the judgments I had of
myself were real, I couldn't accessmy intuition. I couldn't access myself psychic
and intuitive abilities, and I couldn'taccess the gift that I actually have to
(37:07):
help people activate their body's own naturalhealing abilities. Because the body's natural state
is to heal itself. Your bodydoesn't want to be fat. It's fat
because you're believing it's real. Andwhen you start to play with this idea
of letting go of judgment, itjust means not that judgment will disappear.
(37:30):
It just means that you no longerpay attention or believe that those judgments are
real. And so my favorite toolto do is just to go stop it,
right, And I created this elevenyears ago when I created something called
the no Judgment diet. And youknow, there are thousands of people from
around the world that tried this nojudgment diet. I facilitated classes all around
(37:54):
the world, and it helped peoplebreak free out of the judgment that they
had of their body. And aslong as we're judging right, judgment creates
lack and what you focus on grows. And so if you're focusing on what
isn't working, what you don't have, what you have a right to judge
(38:15):
as real, you will not createspace for new and for what you actually
want. You'll keep perpetuating this judgmentcycle, right, And so you want
to whenever you notice some people theirjudgments on money, some people their judgment
(38:37):
is on their lack of self esteem, some people their judgment, and most
women their judgment is on their bodies. And the reason why I'm so obsessed
with bodies and the idea that wecan actually break free is that when you
let go of the judgment that youhave of your body that you think is
real, you open the door tomore energy, to more space, to
(39:00):
more liveness, You open the doorto trusting your intuition, and you open
the door to recognizing that you probablyhave a gift with your body that you
didn't know you have. Because everysingle body on the planet, this is
just my personal belief, has thecapacity. Doesn't mean everyone chooses it.
But every single body on the planethas the capacity to be able to heal
(39:24):
the people they're around, whether it'slike animals. Animals are natural healers,
babies natural healers. Right, andhealing is just a high vibration energy.
So when you get around somebody thathas less judgment in their universe, there
is like this aliveness. You wantto spend more time with them. Right.
(39:45):
Empaths usually have very high vibrating energies, but they tend to attract low
vibration people. Right. And thenthe EmPATH is like, and by the
way, I resonate with this.The EmPATH is like, oh, oh
yay, another playmate. I canheal them. I can help them.
They're excited about my energy. Andthen the give and the give and the
(40:07):
give and the give and the giveand the other person if they're not an
EmPATH, or if they're not interestedin being a high vibration they take.
They take, they take, theytake, they take, and it can
be extremely exhausting, which is whyif you're in a life transition, it
probably can feel pretty scary to takethat leap of faith in yourself. So
(40:28):
the first thing you want to dois you want to start to recognize the
areas of your life where you havethe most judgment about you, right,
and then you're going to put yourselfon a year long no judgment diet.
And the way you do it isyou stop it. Ain nobody got time
for judgment. Right. Judgment doesnot create judgment destroys. And so you
(40:52):
want to stop the judgments, andyou want to replace that judgment that you
have with gratitude, with possibility,with excitement, with energy. Okay,
And so when you stop judging you, when you stop judging your choices,
you will start to trust the adventureof the energy of living. And the
(41:13):
energy of living is alive, it'sexciting, it's enthusiastic, it's encouraging,
it's vibrant, it's electric, it'shappy, it's joyous. It might be
intense, it might be peaceful,right, because every single one of you
has a different energetic frequency that makesup your capacity to create your life.
(41:37):
The problem is most of us arehanging on to the judgments, to the
low vibrations, to the low frequencies, and we keep perpetuating that as if
it's real. So that's number oneis let go of judgment. Number two
and I believe this is really importantis have no regrets right every single you
(41:58):
know, someone asked me years ago, like why I have this elephant tattoo
on my arm? And when Ioriginally got the tattoo, I believe I
was like twenty nine, thirty yearsold, thirty one somewhere in there.
I got it for Ganesh energy,which is the Indian deity representative of an
elephant, and the Indian dt Ganeshwas considered the remover of obstacles, and
(42:24):
so every obstacle is not actually anobstacle. It's a possibility in disguise.
And so when you regret your past, you're basically not allowing yourself to grow
from your life choices. Right,no regrets, no mistakes, it's just
(42:45):
cute life choices. You're doing thebest you can with what you have,
right now, that's it, right. My parents they did the best they
could. My mom is still doingthe best she can. My dad he's
on the other side, right.But we all are always trying to do
the best we can with what wehave. And so don't regret your past.
(43:06):
Learn from the choices you made,and learn to use your past as
a sort of as an ability tosort of springboard into a new energy.
And so when you look at lifechoices that didn't work out for you,
you can ask what did you learn, what worked, what didn't work?
(43:30):
Right, and what would you domore of? Right? And these four
questions right, what worked, whatdidn't work? What would you do more
of? And what did you learnor what would you do different in the
future. Those four things that youcan play with. These are the four
things that when I interview or wheni'm you know, having dinner with extremely
(43:50):
successful people, I'm asking I asked, like, what did you do?
And then they give me that feedback? Right, I looked at what was
working, I looked at what wasn't. I asked what I could have more
of, and asked how to makemore of that happen? Okay, So
you don't want to have regrets foryour life. You want to learn from
the choices that didn't work out theway you thought they would. And you're
(44:12):
not wrong for those choices not workingout. It's the universe's way of going.
Here's another blank canvas which you cancreate from. If you choose to
let go of judgment, let goof judging yourself. If you choose to
let go of regrets and if youchoose to learn. Okay, So number
three is, don't make decisions reallyimportant based on other people's opinions. Don't
(44:37):
make decisions based on other people's opinions. Make decisions based on does this feel
authentic and real and true for you? Right? And does this match where
you want to be going? Okay, So number four and similar to three,
(44:57):
but a little bit different. Whatother people think about you is none
of your business. Right, Itdoes not matter what other people think about
you. It matters that you believein yourself. Because here's the deal.
Most people will never be able tosee the possibilities you see in the world.
(45:17):
You have a unique DNA, uniqueset of blueprints and a unique way
of looking at the world, aunique way of living in the world.
And know, right, what otherpeople think about you is none of your
business, do you. It's aboutyou cultivating a belief in yourself where you
have unwavering faith in your ability totrust the choices you make. And when
(45:45):
you make a choice that doesn't workout, you're like, oh, well,
I learned from it. Oh well, I didn't see that one coming.
Great, Now I'm going to learnfrom it and I'll never make that
same energetic choice again. I'll useit as fuel, I'll use it as
information, I'll use it as alearning experience to then make a new choice.
(46:07):
Okay, number five, don't baseand this is important from the beginning
of the show. Don't base yourchoices on fears and insecurities, right,
Don't base your choices on fears andinsecurities, because if you base your choices
on fears and insecurities, you're basingyour choices on the past. So you're
(46:30):
not basing your choices on a blankcanvas. You're basing your choices on a
canvas that's already been painted on andmaybe a five year old painted on it.
And maybe that five year old isa genius. Right, But guess
what, it's not your life.It's not your blank canvas. It's somebody
else's energetic imprint. So you don'twant to base your choices on fears and
(46:51):
insecurities, right. And here's abig thing is most people when they're looking
at making a choice in the future, right, creating something new, they're
like, oh, fear has tobe absent, insecurity has to be absent
in order for me to choose thatI work with some amazing people all around
the world, and fear and insecurityexist. They just don't pay attention to
(47:16):
it, right, They just don'tbelieve it as real. They don't buy
it that fear and insecurity can stopthem, right. They use it as
a platform. And I believe itwas Beyonce who said, if I am
about to get on stage and Idon't have the sweaty palms and the butterflies
and what feels like anxiety, thenthat's the day I should probably stop performing,
(47:42):
because I know that that means thosebutterflies, sweaty palms, heart racing.
It means I care. I careabout what I'm putting out in the
world. I care about who I'mimpacting right now. And so fear sometimes
can be just a reminder that youactually care about where you want to go,
(48:04):
who you want to connect with,what you want to create in your
life. Right, So use itas a springboard. Don't try to get
rid of it in order to feelgood about your choices. Okay, So
number six is learn to pay attentionto your body's communication style. Now why
(48:25):
am I talking about this? Whenyou have judgment in your world, you
are not as primed to be ableto listen to your body's cues and signals.
Right now, your body is aconscious, living, breathing, ever
evolving entity. Right every twenty fourhours, eight hundred and sixty four million
(48:51):
cells leave your body will simultaneously eighthundred and sixty four million new cells come
into your body. So that meansthat right when you are judging, you're
dampening your ability to pay attention toyour body's cues and signals. And so
when this person, right from theexample of the story I told in the
(49:13):
beginning of show, when this personwas like, do you want to fly
to Florida? Oh, by theway, you don't have money, you
don't have a plane ticket, youdon't have a hotel, you're bringing your
son and your husband. Are youabsolutely crazy? Logic would have told me
say no, but the energy waslike yes, totally illogical, completely unreasonable.
(49:35):
And yet that one choice springboarded meinto building a business that has allowed
me to travel the world to workwith incredible people, and just like dive
into I am fascinated by people,but I'm also fascinated about by our ability
to rewire, to make better choices, to learn from our past choices.
(50:00):
They're not mistakes. They're just wewere making the best choice with what we
had and the information we knew inthe moment. Okay, And so you
want to pay attention to your body'scommunication style. Is your body breaking out
in goosebumps? Does your heart leanforward? Do you get excited? Are
you you know, if you're talkingto somebody new and you notice that you're
(50:22):
collapsed in your energy, it's probablynot somebody that you are meant to connect
with. Or you might be likeallowing insecurity to take over, So you're
letting yourself be less than the personthat you're connecting with. Right, All
bodies cues, so goosebumps, lightness, your throat swells, or you get
(50:45):
like excited, your eyes get bright. You're paying attention to your body's cues
and signals because your body's cues andsignals are kind of like the invisible energy
underneath your blank canvas. They're thethings that are going to springboard you forward.
They're the things that are going toallow you to sort of bypass your
(51:07):
logic and dive into the energetics thoseyes is that you can't quite know,
Oh yeah, it's logical, it'sgoing to make sense. Oh, it's
going to work out for me.Say yes, right, and then ask
the universe. Hey, So whenI said yes, it was like,
okay, help me if you actuallywant me to get on a plane with
my son and my husband and flyto Florida. I have less than a
(51:29):
thousand dollars in my name, Ihave no idea how to make this work.
I'm going to say yes, andthen you're going to help me bring
to the pieces together. And ifit's meant for you, if it's right
for you, the pieces will fallinto place as if by magic, and
like easily and effortlessly and miraculously.It's when those things aren't meant for you
(51:52):
that it'll be hard. It'll feellike a struggle. It'll feel like you
got a fight for it, right, So say yes and see what happens.
Okay, So you want to payattention to those body cues and signals,
and when you do, you willthen have your own internal compass where
(52:13):
you're no longer looking for external validation, You're no longer trying to get it
right right, You're actually just likeI'm saying yes because of the energy I
feel. I'm saying yes because Itrust myself and this is what the energy
says. Okay, and then numberseven. Number seven is trust your yes,
(52:37):
especially when it makes no sense.It's the things that I watch people
who I work with they say yesto makes no sense and they're you know,
terrified. Right, there's a word. I think it was somebody on
X Factor said, I'm x terrified. I'm excited and terrified at the same
time. I'm x terrified. Andso in that excitement, right, say
(52:58):
yes, allow the energies, andthen if it's meant for you, it
will come to fruition what total is. If it's not meant for you,
well then guess what you'll either getthat opportunity in the future when maybe things
are more aligned right. Maybe itwasn't the right person, maybe it was
the right piece of property, maybeit wasn't the right land. Like you
(53:21):
never know. But when you trustyou and you trust the universe, everything
does work out. It just canfeel like it's not working out in the
moment that you're in a massive lifetransition. Okay, And so then the
bonus one, right, and thisis a bonus exercise that you can do
to get really clear on the energiesyou want to use on that blank canvas.
(53:46):
So it's like the invisible fibers inthe canvas. Right, You're going
to write down all the energies thatare important to you. So, do
you want join in your life?Do you want adventure? Do you want
freedom? Do you want excitement?Do you want unconditional love? Do you
want you know, the feeling ofeuphoria? Write down those energies. Then
(54:07):
look at your life and go,Okay, the things that I say that
I want are they matching? Becausea lot of times you might go,
oh my god, I've been askingfor this, but I actually don't want
that, actually don't want that.And so, my friends, there is
no right way or wrong way totrust yourself. This is about giving you
(54:28):
information so that you can feel empoweredto get beyond the logic, get beyond
the how, and dive into theenergetics and the energies that are important to
you to begin to build your life. So I want to thank you for
