    18. Trust Your Gut: The HIT Framework for Intuitive Leadership

    In this episode of The Intuition Strategist, we explore what it really means to trust your gut and how to make intuition not just personal, but powerful in your leadership. We’re breaking down the HIT Framework: Hear, Interpret, Trust. This is the tool I use across all of my work with individual leaders and executive teams to strengthen intuition as a reliable data source—especially in uncertain, high-stakes environments. You’ll learn: * Why intuition is not the opposite of logic. It’s fast, embodied logic built from experience * How to hear the signal beneath the noise (and what blocks it) * Why interpretation is essential—and how tools like Corporate Tarot Cards® can help you decode what your gut is saying * What it means to trust your inner advisor and take aligned action without needing external proof We also dive into how intuitive leadership shows up in strategy tools you already use—like SWOT analysis, risk matrices, and strategic planning—and how to bring your whole self to decision-making in a VUCA world. Plus, what collective intuition feels like in the boardroom and the conference room, how teams align when they listen beneath the surface, and why every leap you take strengthens your signal. Whether you're navigating a crossroads or making everyday decisions, this episode will give you a grounded, actionable way to tap into your intuitive intelligence—individually and collectively. Mentioned in this episode: * Ep 17. From Separation to Integration: Why Connection is the New Strategy * Ep 5. Building Trust in Your Gut: Foundations of Intuition Strategy * Ep 9. The VIEW Framework: Slow Down, Tune In, Decide Reflective prompt: What decision are you sitting with right now? What would it look like to trust the feeling underneath it—just a little? — 💌 Want more?

  2. 17. From Separation to Integration: Why Connection Is the New Strategy

    17. From Separation to Integration: Why Connection Is the New Strategy

    In this solo episode, I go back to the beginning - to my 40th birthday, a salt cave, and a moment of quiet that showed me why I do this work. Connection has always been at the heart of my life: connecting ideas, people, disciplines, languages, frameworks. From consulting rooms to campfires, sorority to strategy decks, I've spent my whole life translating between worlds. And now, through Intuition Strategy®, I’m blending business and personal, logic and intuition, structure and spirit. This episode kicks off a new series exploring the full framework of Intuition Strategy—Trust Your Gut, Make Decisions, Get Results—and why it's not just a toolkit for business, but a model for aligned living. We cover: * Why I believe connection is the root of clarity * How to translate business tools like OKRs, SWOTs, and strategy maps into personal tools * Why the wall between “personal” and “professional” is crumbling—and what to do with that truth * The role of actionable intuition in shaping your next chapter * What it really means to be whole (and how that shows up in my Corporate Tarot Cards®) Ready to strengthen your intuition?

    15. How I Turned a Question into a Business: My Focus Gathering Story

    One year ago, I hosted something I called a Focus Gathering—a powerful night of intention, community, and clarity that helped me move from swirling ideas to decisive action. It wasn’t a focus group. It was a gathering of trusted, diverse voices who helped reflect my own clarity back to me. And it worked. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of that night—wine, snacks, whiteboards, and all—and show you how this experience became a turning point in my work and life. What began as a raw question (WTAF am I doing here?) became the catalyst for building Intuition Strategy:🃏 Corporate Tarot Cards®🎙️ This podcast🚀 The Clarity Sprint✍️ And an entire body of work rooted in intuition, strategy, and aligned results I also share how the gathering unintentionally mapped to the three stages of my Intuition Strategy® framework: * Trust Your Gut (HIT: Hear, Interpret, Trust) * Make Decisions (VIEW: Values, Insight, Empowerment, Wisdom) * Get Results (Taking aligned action, setting a focus, moving forward) You’ll also hear: * How I used the History of the Future exercise to tap into wisdom across all life domains * Why I curated a diverse group of women to reflect multidimensional leadership * The moment I realized I was already practicing the very frameworks I was building * And how your own clarity might be waiting to be witnessed ✨ Plus, I leave you with a reflective exercise and a challenge:What’s the next right thing your intuition is whispering to you—and who could help reflect it back? Heads up: This episode includes some strong language used with intention to reflect the original framing of my Substack and gathering. If you're listening with kids or prefer to skip explicit language, consider headphones or check out another episode!

    14. From Sticky Floors to Infinite Possibilities: A conversation with HER Collective founder Erica Rooney

    What does it really take to leave behind a shiny title and build a life that actually fits? In this episode, I’m joined by Erica Rooney — keynote speaker, leadership expert, and founder of HER Collective — to talk about ambition, burnout, intuition, and the courage to step into something new. We explore what Erica calls “sticky floors”: the internal fears, limiting beliefs, and behaviors that keep us stuck, even when we’re outwardly succeeding. Erica shares her journey from fitness dream job to Chief People Officer to entrepreneur, the small irreversible moves that shifted her path, and how tuning into her energy (rather than just her résumé) helped her redesign her career from the inside out. We also pull a Corporate Tarot Cards® spread to explore her decision-making process around growing HER Collective. Spoiler: the cards had some very timely advice. What We Explore: * The tension between ambition and alignment * Why taking one small, undoable action can shift everything * How to use energy as a decision-making tool * Redefining success by asking: How do I want to feel? * Building a career that honors both impact and presence Resources + Links: 📚 Glass Ceilings & Sticky Floors by Erica Rooney→ Buy the book on Bookshop 📚 Change Enthusiasm by Cassandra Worthy→ Buy the book on Bookshop 🌐 Join HER Collective→ www.joinhercollective.com 🎧 Listen to Erica’s podcast, Glass Ceilings & Sticky Floors→ Listen on Apple Podcasts 💼 Connect with Erica on LinkedIn→ Erica Rooney on LinkedIn This is a public episode.

    12. Pausing to Redefine Success, Peace, and Purpose: A Conversation with Michelle-Kim Cohen

    What happens when you step off the treadmill of external expectations and start listening to your gut? In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, I talk with Michelle Kim Cohen—attorney, mother, caregiver, and intentional leader—about what it really looks like to pause, reflect, and rebuild a life rooted in values instead of validation. Michelle took a 10-month sabbatical from her high-powered legal career to care for her father after an Alzheimer’s diagnosis and in the process, redefined what success, peace, and leadership mean to her. We talk about making decisions based on values, letting go of cultural “truths,” and the role of quiet in big life transitions. If you're standing at a crossroads, this conversation will help you trust your gut and choose what's right for you. What We Talk About * Taking a 10-month power pause to care for family and reclaim joy * Listening to your gut—and getting quiet enough to hear it * Letting go of success “shoulds” and honoring what’s true now * Making values-based decisions, not fear-based ones * Work-life integration vs. work-life balance * Interviewing from a place of honesty and alignment * Sound meditation as a tool for clarity and peace My Favorite Takeaway Michelle shared the reminder she keeps by her office desk: * Prioritize my wellbeing and peace * Every workday must end * Don’t borrow from family time Resources Mentioned in This Episode * Connect with Michelle Kim Cohen on LinkedIn * You Turn: Get Unstuck, Discover Your Direction, and Design Your Dream Career by Ashley Stahl * Learn more about Cambium Learning Group More from Leah * The Intuition Strategist website * Corporate Tarot Cards® Launch Bundle – Tools to help you make smarter, more aligned decisions Listen + Share If this episode resonated, send it to a friend who’s navigating change. The more we talk about joy, peace, and intuition at work, the more we make space for others to do the same. And if you haven’t already, subscribe, rate, and review The Intuition Strategist. It helps more people find the show and trust their gut, too! This is a public episode.

    11. What I’ve Unlearned, Built, and Become: Two Years Since Leaving Corporate

    Two years ago, I left corporate life without a detailed plan, but with a strong sense that something new was ready to emerge. I called it my “Independence Day”. In this special solo episode, I mark the two-year milestone with a reflection on what I’ve unlearned, what I’ve created, and how I’ve changed. Think of it as my personal graduation speech from a self-designed MBA in intuition, reinvention, and strategy. Whether you're navigating a career crossroads, building something new, or questioning what’s next, this episode offers insights to support your own transformation. I talk about: * Letting go of urgency, control, and waiting for permission * How I built Corporate Tarot Cards® and the VIEW Framework from life experience * The difference between naming your values and embodying them * Moving from PowerPoint slides to longform writing—and finding my voice as a writer * Embracing a both/and mindset in my work, identity, and business * How community and curiosity became the engine behind my growth Plus, I share: * How a local legislative seminar and a third-grade field trip reminded me of the power of civic connection * Why I now identify as a CEO and founder (and what shifted to make that real) * What I’d tell anyone at a crossroads, based on what I’ve learned over two years of experimentation, creation, and trust If something resonates, I’d love to hear it. You’re not behind. You’re becoming. 📖 Read: Independence Day Year One reflection post🎧 Listen and subscribe to The Intuition Strategist on Apple Podcasts and Spotify📬 Sign up for my Substack: This is a public episode.
