31: Maybe you're not supposed to have all the right answers

Founder of Aligned Insights Coaching, Erin Heisel, shares her unruly path from academia to coaching: leaving rigid systems, questioning “objectivity,” and building a business by following intuition and a spark instead of a plan. This is a gorgeous, heart-led conversation about self-trust, creative ownership and what becomes possible when make your move before you have all the right answers. 

We talk about:

• Building a business by following your curiosity and joy, not rigid plans and strategy
• The decision to leave academia and question its many hidden rules
• Who gets to claim ideas in research, challenging notions of “objectivity” and questioning what “originality” really means
• Bringing your voice and lived experience into research
• Following what lights you up without needing to know all the answers
• How to cultivate a state of openness and readiness to receive
• Knowing when to hold structure vs when to stay open
