From Autopilot to Intention: Choosing How You Show Up
In episode 148 of The Empowered & Embodied Show, Kim and Louise dive into a heartfelt conversation about intentionality—what it means, why it matters, and how we can bring more of it into our lives. From the giggles at the start to deep reflections on self-trust, collaboration, and navigating transitions, this episode is a reminder that autopilot living isn’t serving us anymore.
Kim and Louise explore the importance of making choices on purpose, breaking free from old patterns, and allowing space for evolution—both personally and in business. They reflect on the communities that uplift us, the power of slowing down, and how leaning into intuition doesn’t mean surrendering all control. This conversation is an invitation to reclaim your agency, recognize your impact, and start showing up in a way that aligns with who you truly are.
“Why wait to be yourself? Why not now?”
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Autopilot vs. Intention – Are you making choices consciously, or just following old patterns?
🔹 The Power of Community – Supportive spaces help us move through transitions with more clarity and ease.
🔹 Slowing Down to Speed Up – Resistance to rest is ingrained in us, but sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need.
🔹 Trusting Your Intuition – Living intuitively doesn’t mean floating through life—it requires active engagement.
🔹 Aligning with Your Values – As we grow, our values shift. Our lives and businesses should evolve with them.
🔹 Making Purposeful Choices – The small, intentional choices we make shape the bigger picture of our lives.
