Emergency Exits

In today’s episode, Ellen and Mads discuss intuition, ambition, commitment and the nuances of jealousy. It’s a conversation full of practical advice, honest reflections, and some sisterly wisdom on how we can better trust our intuition and embrace our emotions. So listen in and enjoy! 

Intuition or Anxiety?
Ellen recounts a moment of confusion between anxiety and intuition during her meditation practice. Mads shares how to tell the difference and provides, suggesting that true intuition doesn’t diminish with questioning, whereas anxiety often flares up when the mind is given a moment of rest.

Jealousy as a Guide
Jealousy is often considered a negative emotion, but the girls discuss it in a different light. They explore personal anecdotes, shedding light on how jealousy can point to what’s missing in one's life.  Mads suggests using jealousy as a clue to uncover potential you haven’t fully embraced.  

Listener Question: Commitment in Career and Relationships
This week's question comes from a generator with gut intuition who is looking for advice on balancing their desire for novelty with the need for long-term commitments. Ellen and Mads dive into how their chart could be playing into this problem. Mads shares that generators typically thrive when they can stick with tasks and build deep expertise over time, so this is a difficult position to be in.

The sisters also discuss the difference between what we naturally desire and what society conditions us to want. They suggest the listener should consider if her craving for newness is inherent or a conditioned response to dissatisfaction.

 Key Takeaways

- Discerning Intuition from Anxiety: Learn to distinguish between intuitive feelings and anxious thoughts by observing persistence and clarity of the intuition.

- Balancing Thrills and Stability: If new adventures ignite your spirit, it's okay to seek them out, but balance them with stable commitments that build long-term satisfaction.

- Constructive Use of Jealousy: Reframe jealousy as a guide to uncover unmet desires or untapped potential within oneself.

- Balancing Hustle with Joy: Rather than advocating relentless hustle, Ellen and Mads prioritise finding joy and purpose in your work, leading to sustainable growth and satisfaction.
