Many people think that someone with “intuition” is special or somehow mystical, but that is not true. Everyone has the ability to learn how to tap into their inner knowing, their “gut,” their intuition. Navigating the interior life and understanding what drives you and your decisions is the focus of the Turning Inward Podcast with Vivian Carrasco podcast. Vivian and I sat down for a few minutes and talked about how my life and business changed drastically for the better when I stopped overworking and started listening to my intuition, my inner knowing.

Vivian Carrasco, Ed.D is passionate about helping others explore the path of living fully – what she calls Love.Being.Human™. She works with people to let go of fears and live from their core. She is the host of the Turning Inward Podcast. Fear often holds us back and we silence our inner voice. When that happens, we often get off course. Through the show, she and her guests explore what it means to turn inward and find the answers within us instead of seeking external approval or validation. You will hear stories of perseverance and triumph and get inspired to listen to your own inner knowing.

Dina Lynch-Eisenberg says
Learning to trust yourself as an entrepreneur and listen to yourself is one of the most important steps in growing your emotional intelligence. The more you know about how you honestly work best, not the latest trend, the more you can build a business that supports you. Hard work is inevitable. Overwhelm is totally optional!
