You know those moments when you hear someone’s story and it just clicks — like they’re giving words to something you’ve been feeling for a while?

That’s exactly how I felt when I listened to Carol’s conversation this week with our special guest, Susan Irby, aka The Bikini Chef. 

Even though I wasn’t the one interviewing Susan, I felt so connected to the themes they explored: trusting your intuition, staying true to your calling, and finding the courage to take that next step—even when the path feels wildly uncertain.

And I knew right away, you needed to hear it too.

Because if you’re anything like me (and the women I work with every day), you’ve had those seasons where you questioned your gut, second-guessed your dreams, or felt the pressure to “follow the logical path” instead of your heart.

So today, I wanted to share a few powerful reminders that stood out to me from their conversation:

 3 Takeaways to Nourish Your Dreams and Your Leadership:

1. Your intuition isn’t random — it’s your guide.
When you feel that nudge in your gut, it’s not “just” a feeling. It’s wisdom. And learning to trust it is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself as a leader and a creator.

2. The way you fuel your body impacts how you show up.
Susan shared how vibrant, nourishing food choices don’t just energize your body—they help you stay focused, courageous, and resilient. (It’s not about perfection. It’s about feeling alive.)

3. Big dreams are built one small, courageous step at a time.
You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Just one tiny shift, one new decision, one act of trust — that’s how momentum is created.

 A Little Reflection for You:

Is there a whisper you’ve been hearing lately…

A tug toward something new, exciting, or even a little scary?

What’s one small step you could take toward it today? For us, this past weekend, we started packing our winter clothes into boxes as we prepare for our 1-year relocation to Panama for what I am calling “Kindergarten abroad”  

I’d love to hear about it. Hit REPLY and share — I always love hearing what’s on your heart. 

If you’re ready for a conversation that will leave you feeling inspired, energized, and deeply connected to your own inner knowing, you’ll want to check out this week’s episode.
