• Understand the critical identity shift required when moving from corporate to entrepreneurship, including the loss of title, salary, and built-in authority.
• Distinguish between traditional masculine energies (logic, competition, achievement) and feminine energies (intuition, strategy, spaciousness) and why both are crucial to sustainable business.
• Learn why many hit an unseen reversal point before they consciously recognize it—and the importance of reclaiming your internal power.
• Begin to see entrepreneurship not just as a business venture, but as a journey of self-reclamation and recreation.

• Take practical, actionable steps—like journaling or pulling oracle cards—to build and trust intuitive muscle.
• Discover how being curious (not judgmental) about your inner reactions creates space for confidence and deeper self-trust.

[15:55–28:55] Building Intuition Into Business Infrastructure

• Use small, low-risk experiments to build trust in your gut instincts—before applying intuition to high-stakes decisions.
• Find the right platforms, rooms, and strategies that align deeply with your own desires and natural gifts, not industry “shoulds.”
