This Sh*t Works!

This shit really works. And apparently, my gallbladder wanted to prove it. What happens when life puts everything you've been practicing to the test? In this episode of Intuition: Your Joy Compass, I'm sharing a very personal experience involving an unexpected gallbladder attack, emergency surgery, five days of intense pain, and the surprising peace I experienced right alongside it. For years, I've talked about the importance of mindfulness, staying present, and training your brain to respond rather than react. This time, I experienced firsthand how those small, everyday practices had prepared me for something I never saw coming. Through breathing, focused attention, and trusting my intuition, I was able to advocate for myself, fully experience my emotions, and stay connected to my own wisdom during some incredibly painful moments. We'll explore how emotional resilience develops through repetition, why practicing presence during ordinary moments matters, and how you can begin building that same steadiness in your own life. From brushing your teeth to listening for sounds in nature, these simple practices can help you stay connected to yourself when life gets messy. And because life has a sense of humor, there's also an emotional support chicken named Gloria who deserves a medal, a surgeon who confirmed the existence of my six-pack, and a reminder that even in difficult moments, joy can find its way in. Listen to this episode of Intuition: Your Joy Compass for a very human conversation about presence, intuition, and discovering that the practices you've been building all along really do support you when you need them most. --- As a successful individual, you already possess the drive, but connecting your intuition with the right mindset is crucial to living a truly fulfilling life.
