    This episode is all about reconnecting with a sometimes underappreciated ally: your intuition. As we dive into November’s theme of Strengthening Intuition, we’re exploring The Wise One, the final archetype in my Personification Posse Method.

Learn to spot the subtle but powerful difference – and how to trust the voice that brings clarity over chaos.

Key Takeaways: Decision-Making without Doubt: Intuition can cut through the noise and give you a clear “yes” or “no,” making decisions easier. Boundaries with Confidence: When you listen to The Wise One, setting boundaries feels less like a battle and more like self-care.
