This afternoon, on the way to pick up Theo from school, a little slogan came to me:

It's in the little decisions every day,

that you confirm your Inner Way.

Moments like these used to catch me off guard. Now they're coming more often, and more easily. And so is the ability to actually act on them.

One of my favorite homework assignments for coaching clients is this: once we've identified what a "yes" and a "no" feels like in your body, practice it while you're driving.

Little things like, "should I switch lanes now?" or "do I get off on this exit or the next?"

It's the perfect low-stakes training ground, because the feedback is immediate.

You listen, you avoid traffic.

You don't listen, you sit in it.

Simple. Real. Impossible to argue with.

It happened twice on my commute:

The first time, I didn't listen. I had a clear hit to go up a block and avoid a busy intersection I usually take. I ignored it. Sure enough, I sat waiting to make that left turn for what felt like 20 minutes. (It was two. But still.) I knew.

A few blocks later, I spotted a dad and his daughter about to cross the street right where I normally turn. Something in me said keep going, turn at the next one. I listened this time. A tow truck was blocking the entire street. I sailed right past it.

Same drive. Same body. Two very different outcomes depending on whether I was willing to listen.

This is the practice. Not the big dramatic life decisions - not yet. Just the small ones, all day long. Think of it like training with a 5-pound weight before you work up to the heavy lifts. The muscle is the same. The reps build the same trust. You're just starting where the stakes are low and the confirmation comes fast.

Because here's the thing: that same yes/no feeling that tells you which lane to take? It's the same one that knows whether the job is actually wrong for you, or whether you're just tired. Whether the relationship has run its course, or whether you need to have a hard conversation. Whether that tight feeling in your chest before a meeting is anxiety, or data.

It's in the little decisions every day,

that you confirm your Inner Way.

Whether it's a literal or metaphorical crossroads, your inner compass knows. And when we stop practicing, we stop trusting it. That's how people end up stuck in decision paralysis, stuck in self-doubt, stuck in situations they've been circling for years wondering why they can't just decide.

If learning to decipher your body's signals sounds like the skill you've been missing - the one that helps you make clearer decisions at work, navigate burnout before it destroys you, or finally get unstuck from something you already know the answer to - I'm opening a small number of private spots this summer.

More details coming soon. But if you already feel a yes in your body reading this, hit reply and tell me. I read every response.

Speaking of practice, I'd love to hear from you:

Can you think of a time you ignored your intuition? What happened?And a time you listened — and things unfolded exactly as they should?

Hit reply. These stories are everything to me.

Love & Light,

Pri
