The Gut Check: Trust Your Strength, Lead Your Way


The Gut Check: Your weekly pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership.

Hi Reader,

Real strength isn’t about being fearless. It’s about trusting your gut—and acting anyway.

Reflecting back on the week, Strength is a theme that came up time and again. Strength is rooted in clarity, not certainty. When you listen to yourself, you move smarter, faster, and with more power.

This week, we're starting with a pull for Strength, a story of synchronicity, and real conversations about how trusting your gut shapes leadership and life.

🃏 Corporate Tarot Cards® for the Week: Strength

🌟 Grace, Grit, and a Synchronicity Story at GIADA

🎙️ Gut First, Strategy Second: A Conversation with Kahilla

🎧 On the Podcast: Purpose, Power, and Presence from the Inside Out

🚨 Last Call: Corporate Tarot Cards® Presale Ending Next Week!


🃏 Corporate Tarot Cards® for Week: Strength

Before the GIADA event this week, I pulled a card for myself - a grounding practice I often use before big moments. The card was Strength.

This week’s pull is a reminder: real power comes from staying centered when the stakes rise. Strength asks for steady presence, not louder effort. Watch on TikTok, Instagram or LinkedIn.

🌟 Grace, Grit, and a Synchronicity Story at GIADA

At the beautiful GIADA boutique in Back Bay, I led a post-work event for women in business, themed “Grace & Grit.” I gave a short talk about trusting your gut and then did mini Corporate Tarot Cards® readings for guests. Enjoy a peek below!

One guest volunteered to demo the cards with her personal leadership question. She pulled the Strength card. Yep, there's that ✨synchronicity✨.

Strength showed up twice that day, for a reason. Not as force. Not as control. But as a reminder: strong, steady trust in yourself, and the trust we build with others, is real leadership.


🎙️ Gut First, Strategy Second: A Conversation with Kahilla

I sat down with Noa Ries, co-founder of leadership development platform Kahilla, for a conversation about intuition in leadership. It was one of those energizing, deeply connected conversations—exactly what I love about sharing Intuition Strategy® with leaders who are genuinely curious about trusting themselves more.

I’m sharing three short video clips from our conversation, plus a free download of the VIEW Framework Workbook, over on Substack. If you want a real-world look at how intuition strengthens leadership - and how to practice it yourself - come check it out.


🎧 On the Podcast: Purpose, Power, and Presence from the Inside Out

Former NYC principal turned leadership consultant Christina Farinacci-Roberts joins me this week on The Intuition Strategist podcast for a powerful conversation about confidence, change, and intuition in action.

We pulled a Corporate Tarot Cards® spread to explore her next bold move and talked about how trust, spiritual practices, and the question “What if it goes right?” can transform the way visionary leaders move through uncertainty.

If you're navigating change, building something new, or strengthening your own inner leadership, you’ll love this one.

The Gut Check: Your weekly pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership. Hi Reader, Two years ago this month, I hit “publish” on my very first Substack post. It was authentic. It was real. My path wasn't clear. But it was a move. Since then, I've published 55 articles, 15 podcast episodes, and launched a practice built on one truth: Small moves, made in alignment, compound into big results. This week’s Gut Check is a celebration of that power. Showing up before you feel “ready.”...

The Gut Check: Your weekly pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership. Hi Reader, I recently made a decision that felt both small and big at the same time. And this decision has shifted everything. I canceled a neighborhood block party I’d been organizing. Because my intuition said no. I know the feeling of misalignment: my energy, my priorities, my focus said not now. And the data confirmed my gut. That’s leadership. Not the loud kind. Not the title-driven kind. The kind that...

The Gut Check: Your weekly pulse on intuition, strategy, and decisive leadership. Hi Reader, Last week, I let the newsletter go quiet. Did you notice? Maybe, maybe not. May is always a busy month for me. So many reasons to celebrate: birthdays (mine and my daughter's ♉️), mother's day, my independence day. It's the kind of busy that’s deeply meaningful and invites reflection. So I stepped back. Not because I didn’t have anything to say, but because I wanted to hear myself think. It’s my...
