The Best Accountants Trust Their Gut (Not Just the Numbers)
There's something most people don't know about the best financial advisors, the sharpest accountants, and the portfolio managers who consistently beat the market: They don't just trust the numbers. They trust their gut.Chrissy Hollis is a Chartered Accountant and CPA. When she became the sole income earner for her family while carrying debt, most people would have panicked and hustled harder. Instead, every time scarcity kicked in, she used it as data—a red flag to get still, breathe, and let the right action reveal itself.Three years later? Debt-free. Business growing every year. With more peace than she's ever known.In this episode, you'll discover:Why scarcity is information, not a directive—and how to read itThe moment Chrissy launched her business in March 2020 despite everyone telling her noHow she navigates high-stakes decisions from peace instead of panicWhy 5 minutes of intentional stillness outperforms 5 hours of grindingThe unconscious pattern that kept her stuck (and how breaking it led to her biggest revenue jump)Featured Quote: "I get more done now in less time than I ever did in the grind." — Anik MalenfantThe Bottom Line: When you start your day grounded—hydrated, walked, still—your nervous system has capacity. You can deep listen, see root problems, and have hard conversations without getting triggered. When you start with coffee and panic, you work twice as hard to get half the results.Peace doesn't mean everything is easy. It means you're grounded enough to handle what's hard.READY TO DECODE YOUR PATTERN?

Why You Keep Second-Guessing Your Decisions
Most leaders don't have an intuition problem. They have a discernment problem.You've been getting signals. You've been sensing when something's off. You KNOW when a decision doesn't sit right.But you can't tell the difference between your survival brain screaming "Stay safe!" and your inner wisdom whispering "This is the way."So you ignore it. Override it. Ask everyone else's opinion. And six months later? You're thinking, "I KNEW I shouldn't have done that."That inner doubt isn't just frustrating. It's expensive. It's the partnerships that drain you. The hires that don't work out. The opportunities you say yes to that pull you further from what matters.In this episode, we go deep on Pillar #2: Intuitive Discernment—your compass. You'll discover:The difference between instinct (survive) and intuition (thrive)—and why confusing them costs youThe Relief vs. Resonance Framework: How Wall Street's best make aligned decisionsThe 3-question diagnostic to know if you're following fear or wisdomReal stories: The 7-figure entrepreneur who almost burned out his team and the dentist who chose health over industry standardsThe Intuitive Audit: A 4-question practice to develop discernment nowThe Body Compass Practice: A simple tool you can use between meetingsSelf-trust isn't a personality trait you're born with.
