We will also learn that trusting our intuition and acknowledging our spiritual readiness can guide us through even the most unpredictable circumstances.   Together, let’s learn how we can face major shifts with courage and create ripples of positive change in our own lives and the lives of others.   This is going to be a lot of learning, are you ready for it? :)   Xo, Ale   Topics we will cover: (00:02:06) The big life change (00:05:27) Being comfortable with discomfort (00:06:11) Are you feeling stuck in your journey toward personal growth, business success, or spiritual alignment?

In today’s episode, I will explain to you the dynamic interplay between your ego, intuition, and higher self, offering practical strategies to navigate these forces to lead a more purpose-driven and aligned life.   Embracing our ego's voice can sometimes lead us to take action even when our intuition suggests otherwise. It is acknowledged that we all encounter moments when our ego's influence is felt, sometimes driving us to proceed despite reservations.   Understanding the ego is like taming a wild, protective inner child. It means acknowledging its presence, listening to its fears, and guiding it with love and compassion.   You are going to learn the ego's role in self-preservation, its influence on decision-making, and how understanding and empathizing with it can be a transformative step toward unlocking your true potential. You'll also learn how to distinguish between decisions driven by fear and self-doubt, typical of ego-driven choices, and those guided by calm and logical intuition.   Remember that your ego is not your enemy. It's a part of you that ensures your safety so strive to make decisions with empathy and love and find a balance between your ego's voice and the gentle guidance of your intuition.   You and I are going to break down the complexities of ego and intuition and discover how to navigate them harmoniously in our journey toward success.   Together, let’s learn how embracing our ego with empathy and understanding can be our powerful ally toward personal growth and fulfillment.   This is going to be a lot of learning, are you ready for it? :)   Xo, Ale   Topics we will cover: (00:02:29) Understanding the purpose of your ego (00:05:18) Embracing your ego with empathy (00:07:52) Ego vs. Intuition: Recognizing the voices within (00:09:35) Advertisement: Are you an entrepreneur struggling to find your way forward in strategy, mindset, business, or even personal life?

It is ultimately there to ensure that we survive and to ensure that we don't die.” – Ale Wiecek Rojo   “Your ego is not there to hurt you. Your ego is not there to do bad things for you but it can slow you down. Your ego can ultimately ensure that you stay in your comfort zone and you never, ever, ever grow in the direction of where you're supposed to grow in this lifetime.” – Ale Wiecek Rojo   “You don't need to grow for the sake of growing, you have to grow for the sake of your very own purpose and your very own path in this lifetime.” – Ale Wiecek Rojo   “You have the power within you to achieve anything it takes.
