Connecting with your intuition and using it to guide your social entrepreneurial journey is far less "woo-woo" than you might think. In fact, it’s not woo-woo at all. We are born deeply connected to our intuition, but over time, we unlearn how to listen to it as we are "forced" to focus on what "really matters": the tangible world around us.

In today's episode, I'm very excited to be joined by Jenn Cohen. Jenn is an Intuitive Consultant and Mindset Coach who, after spending 27 years in the entertainment industry, took a leap of faith and turned her lifelong connection to the psychic realm into her purpose. Inspired by powerful signs from her late father and years of intuitive experiences, Jenn helps others find clarity, overcome obstacles, and create more fulfilling lives.

Tune in and listen to the sixty-ninth episode. You'll learn why your intuition is one of the most powerful tools as a social entrepreneur, the importance of treasuring your quiet time, and why paying attention and recognizing synchronicities can guide your decision-making. You'll also learn meditation is simpler and more accessible than you think, how your physical space impacts your mental clarity, and much more.
