Summary

Get your ticket to Cathy Heller Live: Divine Download in LA, August 2-3 ⁠cathyheller.com/summit⁠ What if the moments that feel like setbacks are actually the most perfectly orchestrated ones of your life? In this solo episode I'm sharing three ideas that I keep coming back to: breaking old identities, taking courageous action, and choosing certainty over logic. I also share some of my favorite stories about divine timing, including how getting lost in Orlando after missing a person I drove hours to see ended up changing the entire direction of my life, how missing a train by two minutes may have saved me from a derailment, and what happened the night I paid for a stranger's first date after losing my dad. This one is about what it looks like to stop scanning for what's wrong and start trusting that you are always exactly where you are supposed to be. • Ready to stop holding back?

1:18.2	The best relationships, the biggest synchronicities, the best most wild opportunities,
1:23.3	I never could have orchestrated with my logical mind. And so many of you have written to me asking questions about this exact thing, like, how can I trust my intuition, or how do I actually manifest without forcing, and how do I follow the breadcrowns, or I can't see the whole staircase?
