    Drop me a note after you listen. I'd love to hear what you thought of the episode!
    Have you ever felt a sixth sense about something, a gut feeling , or an unexplainable hunch that turned out to be spot on?  That, my friend, is intuition - referred to as your inner wisdom or the language of the soul.  I invite you to join me, your host Michelle Rios, for a deep dive into the mystical world of intuition, a force that transcends logic and connects us to a higher level of consciousness and universal wisdom. In this episode. I discuss what intuition is; why it matters; why we often resist it; and how to tap into it to guide us and our decisions.

    A quick look back through history, we quickly discover how intuition has been revered by some of the world's greatest minds, from philosophers Plato and Aristotle to Albert Einstein to modern visionaries like Steve Jobs and Steven Spielberg.  It's a reminder that this silent language of the soul has always been with us serving as a compass for decision-making, and as an undercurrent that shapes our personal stories. 

    The heart of this episode focuses on actions you can take to tap into your own intuitive powers. Whether you're at a career crossroads or simply looking for more clarity in your personal life, mindfulness practices and reflection techniques can help you amplify that inner voice. I invite you to trust in the subtle nudges and gut feelings we often overlook, Doing so will prepare you for a life of purpose and fulfillment – a life where intuition is not merely a whisper, but a trusted guide.

    Navigating Grief and Mental Health with Dr. Monica Krishnan

    Drop me a note after you listen. I'd love to hear what you thought of the episode!
    Have you ever felt the weight of the world's expectations pressing down on you, whispering that who you are isn't enough? Join me, Michelle Rios, as I sit down with Dr. Monica Krishnan, who shares her transformative journey toward authenticity, peeling back the layers of societal and familial pressures to embrace the joy of being true to oneself. We delve into Monica's heartrending rebirth through the grief of losing her husband, and how she channeled her resilience into advocacy, lighting the way for others navigating their darkest hours.

    Loss and healing often intertwine, leading us down paths to discover our core identity and life's purpose. This episode isn't just about facing life's relentless pressures; it's about finding hope and empowerment in them. Dr. Krishnan's experiences with Eastern spirituality and the profound silence of a Vipassana retreat illustrate the shifts that can occur when we are brave enough to sit with discomfort and listen to the whispers of our souls. The journey we embark on here is one of spirituality and self-discovery, a conversation that challenges us to consider our own spiritual awakenings and the universal connections that bind us.

    As we wrap up this profound and moving episode, we reflect on how embracing our natural gifts and the lessons learned through adversity can guide us toward an extraordinary life. Stay connected and join our supportive community as we eagerly anticipate Dr. Krishnan's upcoming children's book, which promises to further inspire resilience and joy. Together, we are reminded that we are not just humans on a spiritual journey, but spiritual beings on a human journey—each with our own extraordinary story to tell.
