From Filmmaker to Soul Reader: How to Trust Intuitive Decision Making Over Logic in Business with Yvonne Arnold [Ep. 25]
Description
What if the fear you feel isn't a warning to stop but a signpost pointing you toward your next brave move? To the unknown, to the parallel world of fun and easy?
In this episode of The Freedom Pivot Podcast, I sit down with Yvonne Arnold, a trained historian, filmmaker, and intuitive business strategist who has built a thriving practice serving tender souls across the world.
Yvonne's journey from the German countryside to New York City, through multiple career pivots and life-threatening moments, reveals a powerful truth: intuitive decision making isn't about ignoring logic, it's about trusting the inner wisdom you already know.
If you’ve ever second-guessed your gut or felt torn between logic and feeling, this conversation will invite you to slow down, listen, and remember: your intuition already knows the way.
In This Episode You’ll Learn
- How to practice intuitive decision making in business
- The real difference between fear and intuition (and how to tell them apart)
- Why sensitivity and empathy are leadership superpowers, not weaknesses
- How to dismantle mental filters and limiting beliefs that block clarity
- The link between play, trust, and synchronicity in entrepreneurship
- Yvonne’s pivot from filmmaker to international intuitive coach
- Practical ways to bring intuition into daily choices and creative work
