In order to co-create with the Universe, we need to balance both our heads and hearts – but what does that look like in a practical sense? How do you know which one to follow when your head and the heart are in conflict? I'm always working to find the balance my head and my heart. You might be surprised to hear that by nature I actually have a fairly Type-A personality. As a Psychic and an intuitive, I'm highly also sensitive – energetically and emotionally. And these two parts of my nature can sometimes end up competing with one another. But I've learned that it's possible to find a personal sweet spot between my personality and my gifts, as well as my logical mind and my intuitive heart. I do this by connecting with my intuition every day, and then using that guidance as I plan my day. I also make sure to keep an eye on the larger universal energies at play, so that I can be flexible in my planning and respond to whatever comes up. By doing this, I've learned how to follow my heart AND use my head while I navigate a busy business and homelife in a way that feels true to me. In this episode, you willl learn the following: How to find the balance between your head and your heart How to follow your heart's desires How to work with the Universal energies & patterns to help guide you Episodes mentioned: Episode 170: Back with a Renewed Sense of Focus Episode 171: The Head, The Heart And The Universe Episode 88: Creating A Realistic Daily Guidance Practice Episode 161: Behind The Scenes Of My Personal Guided Practice Episode 166: Why You Might Be Resisting A Regular Guidance Practice Resource mentioned: Join the Guided membership for exclusive energy forecasts & supports.

New money is pouring into the music industry: giant alternative asset management companies like Blackstone and KKR, are partnering with the likes of Hipgnosis and BMG to purchase music catalogue at great expense. But... why? Are they suddenly interested in buying some cool rock songs for some reason? Have they run out of other places to invest money in times of very low interest rates? Or have they spotted that music is undervalued? Music Ally's Joe Sparrow chats to journalist and analyst David Turner of music industry newsletter Penny Fractions, and he talks in depth about why on earth are these companies are suddenly pouring billions of dollars into music. David has some fascinating theories, and brings insight that has resulted from years of his own research. Penny Fractions: https://pennyfractions.ghost.io (Plus, a fishy world record) BTW – if you are interested in this topic, be sure to check out Focus Episode #38 (one of our most popular podcasts of 2021) where I discussed investments into music rights with music-tech strategist Dan Fowler, and how these giant investments could eventually buy enough catalogue to challenge traditional publishers.
