THE ONE DECISION

Trusting Your Intuition and the Law of Subtraction with Keren Kilgore

Episode Summary

In this episode of One Thing. One Decision.™, formerly SoundBits, Kim Groshek sits down with Keren Kilgore to explore the often-overlooked power of intuition in leadership, creativity, and decision-making. Keren shares how intuitive insights and creative ideas often arrive unexpectedly, sometimes in the middle of the night—and why paying attention to those moments can lead to meaningful opportunities and positive change. Kim and Keren discuss the importance of taking action on intuitive ideas rather than allowing them to disappear, the role of imagination in creating something new, and how intuition can become a practical leadership tool. Keren also introduces the powerful Law of Subtraction, the idea that becoming who we are meant to be may require removing limiting beliefs, expectations, and stories that have covered up our natural abilities. This conversation is an invitation to listen more closely, trust your inner knowing, and ask what you might need to remove rather than what you need to add.
