I thought this would be a conversation about business… but we kept finding ourselves talking about trust instead.

In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author, kinesiologist, NLP practitioner and business alignment coach Cass Mendoza-Jones, whose work sits at the intersection of personal growth, energy alignment, and intuitive leadership.

What unfolded was less about strategy and more about those seasons where life asks you to listen differently, when the logical next step stops feeling clear, but something quieter inside you keeps nudging anyway.

Cass shares her journey from makeup artistry into energy work, coaching, and writing, and how becoming a single mother deepened her relationship with intuition in ways no plan ever could.

We talk about surrender (and what that actually means beyond spiritual clichés), learning to hear your own voice beneath fear, and the shift from constantly trying to figure life out… to allowing it to unfold with you.

If you’re in a season where certainty feels a little further away but your inner knowing keeps getting louder, this will serve you so deeply.

Tune in as we share:

• Why intuition often gets louder when strategy stops working
• The non-linear path of building a life and business that actually fits
• Moving beyond “not enough” and into self-trust
• The difference between surrender and giving up
• Writing, tapping, and nervous system tools that support clarity
• Learning to hold uncertainty without abandoning yourself
• Following expansion even when it doesn’t make logical sense

There’s a subtle way we make life harder.

And it looks like certainty.

It looks like *thinking* we know exactly how something needs to unfold.
It looks like gripping tightly to one version of the future.
It looks like insisting that if it doesn’t happen this way, something has gone wrong.

In this episode, I share what I’ve been calling my Pinhole Theory - the idea that when we narrow life down to one expected outcome, we collapse infinite possibility into a tiny, controlled opening.

And we completely BLOCK the divine (the Universe, God, Spirit whatever word you like) from supporting us and stepping in.

And then we wonder why nothing new comes through.

Why we feel blocked, stuck, creatively VOID

It’s NOT about abandoning desire. Or passively waiting for something to happen or someone to save us.

And it definitely isn’t about “just surrendering and hoping for the best.”

It’s about DEEP inner safety.
Attachment disguised as alignment.
It’s about how hyper-control quietly shrinks the bigness of what’s currently trying to arrive for you.

It’s the difference between pinhole consciousness and infinite field awareness.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why rigid expectations create unnecessary suffering
• How control is often a trauma strategy, not intuition and certainly not manifestation
• What happens to our perception when we’re in fight-or-flight
• Why some of my clients co-created faster results with less force
• The relationship between regulation and creativity
• The subtle way we block miracles by scripting them
• And why widening the lens might be the real work

I also share something personal.

I’ve officially closed my coaching practice at EliseDanielle.com.

Substack is now my primary home for everything that’s unfolding.

If you resonate with this episode and you feel the shift into something more spacious, more honest, more integrated, I have a feeling the community I’m creating over there is exactly what you need.

This episode has been brewing for almost 9 months. I know I’ve hinted at this a bit on social media, and I really wanted to wait until I’d spent some time fully immersed in this experience before sharing my journey with you… and it’s TIME!!

Microdosing 🍄 has been one of the most subtle, profound, and surprising tools I’ve explored for my own growth, clarity, and nervous system regulation.

It’s not magic. It’s not a quick fix. But it’s illuminated patterns I didn’t even know I was carrying and created space for shifts that have rippled across my life, my creativity, and my sense of self-trust and so much of laying the foundation for what I know is unfolding next.

In this episode, I share:

• Why I decided to start microdosing, the curiosity, caution, and intentions I set for myself
• What microdosing actually feels like in day-to-day life, and how subtle shifts can have big ripple effects
• The ways it’s helped me tune into my nervous system, observe subconscious patterns, and reconnect with presence
• The power and intelligence of these magical 🍄 and how they quite literally support us to soften the default mode network so that we can re-program our brain and deep unconscious patterns in real time
• My candid reflections on self-trust, embodiment, and integrating psychedelic experiences into a grounded life

This is my own personal experience of using this medicine. And whether or not that interests you I think you’ll get a lot out of this episode to see what’s possible when we follow our intuition and explore the things that drop into our field with curiosity, intention, and self-responsibility.

If you’ve been curious about microdosing but hesitant to dive in, or just want to hear someone’s experience who was definitely skeptical, this is for you!
