Merging Logic & Instinct
29 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingThe Merging Logic & Instinct podcast is here to start the conversation around merging two seemingly mutually exclusive ways of being. Nicole Imbriaco is a tech-savvy MBA turned yoga teacher and reiki practitioner who brings mindfulness and intuition into the paths of others who are living less than the whole version of themselves. She also works with purpose driven entrepreneurs to merge logic and instinct to work smarter and expand their impact. Several catalysts in her life dramatically shifted her perspective on the world and altered how she wanted to use her energy and time while in this lifetime. These events led her to stop trying to force these two aspects of herself apart and finally pushed her to start integrating the two.
This show is a combination of solo-casts along with guest interviews with others who have welcomed this balance of logic & intuition into their own lives. Each episode is meant to offer an alternative perspective on life, way of being, spirituality, purpose, and inspire you to live a fuller and more whole life.
