I'm super excited to be bringing you an all-new mini video course and challenge! If you follow me on instagram and you might be seen me use the #BeMoreBrave hashtag quite a bit. Well, this isn't just random. 

What do you do when you wake up on Monday morning with an insane feeling of dread? 

In the past, I would freak out and get anxious about putting myself into a negative tailspin. (That, of course, would put me in a negative tailspin!)  Now I know to do something different. I take extra time in my mornings to reorganize my energy and set my intentions for the week. 

Yesterday I was in downtown Toronto for a meeting and on my way home, this ordinary moment caught me off guard.  As I walked up the stairs onto the platform, I saw Toronto's Union station in a completely different light.

This time, I looked up, and I saw the blue sky peaking through  open roof. I looked down the train tracks and I could see for miles. I took a big deep breath in and allowed myself to soak in the magnificence of this place. My memories of Italy came rushing back to me.

My travels around the world have taught me many things that I couldn't learn commuting in a first-world country.

Growing up in Canada, I always knew that I wanted to explore the world and tell stories. I wanted to be a journalist and a documentary filmmaker. It wasn't until university that I got the chance (and the motivation) to pursue this dream.

Now, when young people hear my story, they often ask me, "Should I travel too?"

I always, always answer, "If you have a desire to travel, do it. It's your soul longing to grow. It means there is something out there for you to learn."

(The question that comes right after, "How did you pay for it? This is my answer.) 

So now you slowed down. You're listening for your intuition. You slept on it. You journaled it out and...

You get your intuitive answer! 

But then…you start doubting it.

I’m a firm believer, that we always have the right decisions inside us, if we choose to listen to that still inner voice. 

In order to create a life we love, however, we have to actually act on what we hear from our soul.

Have you ever tried to rationalize your way to the “right” decision?

You make the Pros and Cons list. You mull back and forth between every option, but you still feel unsettled.  You feel that get uncomfortable knot in your stomach and decide to procrastinate making the big decision.

One of the themes that’s come up in my life right now is listening to and using my intuition.  I’ve realize just how many of our decisions are made using our logical mind, not our heart and soul. When we ignore our intuition, our life feels off track.

In Part 1 of this series, I’m going to talk about how to hear that voice and in Part 2 - I’m going to talk about how to make decision with it.
