We talk about following those little glimmers and taking action based on those intuitive hits. Emily shares how she has built her business on meditation and helping business owners strengthen their intuition and the importance of going within for the answers to our questions and problems.    A HUGE takeaway for me: When in a bad place it gives us permission to spiral further down and say and do things we wouldn't usually do.
