What happens when a scientist stops pushing and starts listening?

In this episode, Emily Paulsen sits down with Dr. Sophia Trevenna, an award-winning scientist, professor, five-time author, and executive coach who bridges mechanical engineering, political science, and deep intuitive practice. Dr. Sophia spent decades in corporate manufacturing and academia before a breaking point led her to follow synchronicities instead of spreadsheets. Now, she teaches leaders around the world to use intuition as a competitive edge, blending data-driven strategy with embodied knowing to help clients 3x to 10x their revenue while finding alignment and fulfillment.

Together, Emily and Dr. Sophia explore the 7 feminine principles that transform business, the daily rituals that open intuitive channels, and the measurable results that come from making space for emergence. This episode is an invitation to trust the flow, reclaim time for sacred practice, and discover that the most efficient path forward might be the one the mind couldn't have planned.

Key Takeaways:

• Feminine principles create masculine results: Bringing flow, emergence, and intuition into business structure doesn't hinder productivity, it magnifies efficiency and unlocks possibilities the mind alone cannot access.

• Clearing energy changes everything: Absorbing others' thoughts and energy happens unconsciously, but releasing what isn't yours and reclaiming what is creates instant clarity and alignment.

• Signs and synchronicities are information: When desires are soul-aligned, nature responds with guidance through dreams, conversations, and unexpected meetings that reveal the next step.

• Nervous system regulation is foundational: Supplements and rituals that support the body's hardware allow intuition and presence to come online, making space for aligned action instead of reactive hustle.

• Motherhood exists beyond biology: The identity and energy of mothering can be expressed through work, mentorship, and creation, offering fulfillment without requiring physical children.
