#336: How to Follow the Tickles of Your Soul and Trust Your Intuition in Midlife Transitions, with Kristy Halvorsen

Is there a steady pull inside you toward something different, something you keep talking yourself out of because it makes no sense on paper? For so many women in a midlife transition, the hardest part is not the lack of a plan. It's learning to trust the inner knowing that keeps calling to you underneath the noise, the responsibilities, and the voices of everyone else. In this conversation, Kavita and Kristy Halvorsen explore what it means to live by what Kristy calls the tickles of your soul, your intuition, that quiet inner compass. In 2017, Kristy sold everything, walked away from her firefighting career, and drove into the unknown in her Airstream trailer, and nearly nine years later she shares why the life you long for may be waiting on the other side of finally listening to it. **In this episode, you'll discover:** - Why the inner pull you keep talking yourself out of, the one that makes no sense on paper, may be the truest compass you have during a midlife career or life transition - The one question that dissolves almost every fear standing between you and the life you actually want, and how to sit with it honestly this week - Why reinventing yourself is never about throwing away who you have been, but about bringing every skill, every role, and every hard-won lesson with you into what comes next Press play to hear an honest, wide-open conversation about trusting yourself, letting go of the maps that no longer serve you, and remembering that you were born with permission to follow what is calling you.
