From Simple Drawings to Real Magic with Entertainer Jillian Gotlib
Through a simple daily drawing practice, entertainer Jillian Gotlib became consistent in recognizing, trusting and acting on intuition. She shares stories of how by making simple drawings each morning, she experienced accelerated physical healing from two hip surgeries. In addition, this practice reignited her creative confidence, and she went on to produce a fortune-telling deck as well as write, produce, and perform two original live magic shows. The title of this episode is, “From Simple Drawings to Real Magic”—and it’s a reminder that when you follow a small creative impulse, it can quietly change everything. Jillian didn’t set out to heal faster. She didn’t try to reinvent her career. She simply showed up each day, drew, listened, and followed what felt right. And in doing so, she reconnected with something deeper—something that already knew the way forward. That’s The Intuitive Method.
Not grand gestures.
Not perfect plans.
Just the courage to pay attention—and to never argue with a hunch.

Trusting the Work That Wants to Be Made with Artist Jon Huck
This episode features an interview between Darrell Fusaro and Jon Huck about creative intuition and artistic process. Jon shared his journey from a late-starting painter to developing his unique abstract style, while Darrell discussed his own experiences with intuitive art-making and breaking free from self-imposed limitations. They explored how artists can trust their creative instincts, with Jon recommending daily practice and starting immediately with simple art-making, regardless of skill level. The conversation highlighted the importance of embracing joy in the creative process rather than seeking perfection, and both artists agreed that allowing intuition to guide their work has led to their most satisfying and authentic pieces.

Draw Intuitively = Live Intuitively, Pt. 4
In this workshop, Darrell Fusaro recommends a simple daily drawing practice to get you into the habit of recognizing, trusting, and acting on your genius power of intuition. Intuition is your innate wisdom for happy and successful living.
“The mind can be a noisy and cluttered place that can drown out the heart. …Beginning with the rules or the words to create the art can lead to a dead end and muddy the search for what genuinely touches the artist. …So take a leap and dive in. …Putting your conscious (and critical) brain on hold can allow creativity to seep in-unfettered. It takes a little courage to shift gears and just "do" or "be." –Susan A. Friel
“People whom the world considers to be of genius calibre are those who have had the courage and confidence to listen to, and follow the guidance of their intuition and creative imagination. …We, too, can stimulate our intuition and creative imagination as genius powers for prosperity, success, and more satisfying living.” –Catherine Ponder
