Episode Highlights:
- Heather describes enlightenment as those magical moments when "several things that you know or have learned come together in a way that you've never thought about," creating connections that no one has ever explained to you before
- Michelle distinguishes enlightenment from regular learning, noting that while you can't force enlightenment, you can create conditions for it by actively working toward learning new skills and pulling different aspects of your life together
- Tina describes enlightenment as "finding the light from inside yourself," contrasting it with inspiration which typically comes from external sources, and shares how she often wakes up with new viewpoints or ideas that seem to arrive unexpectedly
- The hosts connect enlightenment to workplace innovation, with Tina explaining how Feel Wise came from moments of enlightenment and describing these moments as "shoots" in a game of shoots and ladders that propel innovation forward faster
- The conversation concludes with insights about how enlightenment connects to empathy - when you're truly in tune with yourself through enlightenment, you're better positioned to hold space for others and honor their experiences respectfully
