in this week’s episode, we’re diving deep into understanding the difference between these two powerful forces. our intuition is that inner knowing, a calm and clear feeling that guides you without needing proof. we’ll share insight on letting your intuition lead, like silencing jaded voices, taking sacred pauses to connect with Source, truly knowing yourself, and trusting your own vibes without seeking others’ opinions. you’ll hear:
how to trust your inner voice: you’ll learn to distinguish between the calm clarity of intuition and the fear-based noise of anxiety.sacred pauses: how regularly connecting with Source can help you identify signs and intuitive insights more apparent.self-trust: by developing deep self-awareness and confidence through spending time alone and with supportive communities, you can start valuing your own judgment over others’ opinions.chapters

juggling a 9-5 while building a business with BIG dreams is a balancing act, to say the least 🙃
this one’s for the creatives, solopreneurs, small business owners, and everyone in-between.
in this week’s episode, we’re chatting sustainable entrepreneurship and the challenges of balancing a nine-to-five job with chasing big dreams. it’s essential to recognize that some of us are indeed in that liminal space in the middle, working a full-time job while building a business, and they both have their pros and cons (like freedom over your schedule vs. the illusion of job security). and of course, you’ll hear from our host, Priscilla O. Agyeman, MPH on her own journey of being a creative entrepreneur, as well as valuable resources and related episodes to support you on your own journey.

is it quiet quitting or are we just finally being realistic about our bandwidth at work? 🫠
in this week’s episode, we dive deep into the concepts of decentering work, quiet quitting, and bouncing back after being laid off. we start by exploring the phenomenon of quiet quitting—what it is, why it happens, and whether it's just a matter of doing what you're paid to do.
we'll share practical tips on how to achieve this by creating a value system independent of your job title, engaging in hobbies, prioritizing self-care, and investing in personal development. and of course, you’ll hear from our host, Priscilla O. Agyeman, MPH on her own journey after being laid off, as well as valuable resources and related episodes to support you on your #corporatebaddie journey.
