In this heart-led and grounding conversation, Courtney sits down with Julie Reisler, TEDx speaker, master certified coach, Georgetown University faculty member, podcast host, and founder of the Intuitive Life Designer Coach Academy, to explore the foundation that most spiritual development misses entirely.

Julie spent 11 years in corporate America before a life-altering awakening pulled her in a completely different direction. Her path through addiction recovery, a marriage ending with two children under two, and a complete identity rebuild became the very thing that taught her what she now helps others find: a real, daily, practised relationship with yourself as the non-negotiable starting point for intuition, spiritual connection, and trust.

Together they explore:

Why you can't consistently trust your intuition if you don't first know your own energy
What Julie's recovery journey revealed about the relationship between self-abandonment and spiritual disconnect
The one simple daily practice that begins to build the capacity to receive (no app required)
Why the higher self isn't an abstract concept and what it actually feels like when you're in contact with it
How highly sensitive and intuitive people lose themselves in other people's energy, and what to do about it
Why a weekend workshop won't shift your connection to your higher self if the foundational relationship with yourself is missing
The difference between fear-based thought and genuine intuitive guidance, and how your body already knows which is which
