Episode notes
Work By Body-Led Cues
- Follow body-led cues: if you're craving sun or rest, prioritize it over forced work for better ideas.
- Create intentional space (walks, sun, naps) to let fresh creativity and high-quality content emerge.
Business Launch Led To A Rock Bottom
- Mayssa left corporate roles, launched Behave, then hit a rock bottom with divorce, family addiction, and business crises.
- That collapse prompted deep spiritual work, breathwork, and healing that rebuilt her energy and company direction.
Child Intuition Gets Silenced
- Psychic children often perceive family dysfunction clearly but are later gaslit into denying it.
- That early invalidation disconnects people from their internal truth and skews adult boundaries.
