MagnifEssence in Motion #15: The Balanced Self

Are you ever torn between your inner Spock and your inner Yoda? Do you find yourself overthinking a decision until your brain feels like it’s running endless spreadsheets, or leaping before you look—only to wish you’d checked the waters first?

If you can relate, this is one MagnifEssence in Motion episode where your participation isn’t just invited—it’s strongly encouraged. Carolyn McGee, intuitive coach and founder of Sacred Haven Living, will be joining me for a powerful conversation about using both head and heart for inner clarity. Together, we’ll tackle the classic tug-of-war between logic and intuition, and discover how collaboration between the two is a secret pathway to living with more ease, confidence, and authenticity.

Now, you might wonder if there’s any science behind this touchy-feely quest for balance. Answer: absolutely! Studies in neuroscience show that decision-making isn’t merely a rational process managed by the “thinking brain” (prefrontal cortex); our “feeling brain” (the limbic system) is equally crucial. In fact, research from Dr. Antonio Damasio demonstrates that people with impaired emotional processing struggle with some of the simplest choices—even if their logic is perfectly intact. Meanwhile, intuitive hunches often arise from our brain quickly matching patterns before our conscious mind catches up. So, when head and heart are out of sync, we really do risk missing out on clarity, satisfaction, and even effective action.

During our conversation, we will explore five essential touchpoints for blending logic and intuition:

* Logic vs Intuition
* Effects of Imbalance
* Trusting Intuition Without Sacrificing Reason
* Practical Tools for Balance and Alignment
* Living with Clarity and Confidence

If you’ve ever wished for a “user’s manual” on how to make better decisions (without endlessly consulting your Magic 8-Ball), this episode is for you. It’s not about being all head or all heart—but about tuning both so you can catch life’s curveballs with a smile. Join us live for honest stories, plenty of takeaways you can use immediately, and maybe even a laugh or two about our collective inner “committee meetings.”
