   You Don’t Need the Whole Plan: Following Your Intuition with Michelle Galoob

   How do you trust your intuition when you keep second-guessing yourself? Michelle Galoob is an intuitive guide and coach who works with the Akashic Records and teaches people to recognize and trust their own inner guidance. In this episode, Saara and Michelle explore the shift from relying on outside validation to developing an internal compass, and how logic and intuition can work together. Michelle shares how surrender changed her relationship with guidance, why perfectionism can keep us waiting for a plan we don’t need yet, and how play helps her feel more present and receptive. They also explore the difference between an intuitive knowing and attachment to a particular outcome. Through stories about becoming comfortable being seen and moving her family from Los Angeles to Florida, Michelle reflects on taking action before every detail is clear. Saara shares her own experience of questioning an intuitive move, opening a conversation about why following our guidance can still come with loneliness, discomfort, and growing pains.

   How to ACTUALLY Trust Your Intuition (Even When You’re Scared)

   You can hear your intuition and still talk yourself out of it. In this solo episode, Saara shares five lessons from a difficult year that changed how she listens, decides, and trusts herself. From accepting what she wanted to change to getting more selective about whose advice she takes, she explores what helps her hear her own voice–and what happens when she acts on it.

   How He Got 100x More Views + What Growth Can’t Fix with Mitchell Cohen

   Mitchell Cohen runs the marketing agency Triple Lever and writes the Making Connections newsletter, where he explores human behavior and business. He previously led content and growth teams at AppSumo. In this episode, Saara and Mitchell talk about growing an audience, building a consistent creative practice, and trusting yourself through career transitions. Mitchell breaks down the tactics behind an AppSumo video that received more than 100x the channel’s typical views and the human psychology that made it connect. They also explore what happens when that same drive to observe and optimize turns inward: how ambition can become a tyrant in our own minds, why willpower isn’t always the answer, and how self-love and compassion soften that voice. As Mitchell asks, if you’re optimizing all the business outcomes but you’re miserable, what game are you actually playing?
