Back to EpisodesLeading Into the Unknown: The Courage to Trust Intuition Over Safety w/ Corissa Saint Laurent
Description
This is the last episode recorded from Corissa’s home studio before she embarks on a nomadic journey around the world with her husband and son. But this isn't just a travel update…it's a masterclass on why we cling to the familiar and how to break free from the frame of safety that limits our reality.
In this intimate solo cast, Corissa explores the terrifying but necessary act of stepping into the unknown. She argues that staying at home base isn't preservation…it's stagnation. By moving into unfamiliar territory, we force ourselves to stop living on autopilot and start engaging with the raw truth of the world.
Corissa dives deep into the metaphor of Life as a Creative Act. She compares the modern human experience to Artificial Intelligence, warning that if we aren't careful, we spend our lives just prompting our past traumas and repeating old loops. This episode is a call to pick up the pen and write a new character for yourself.
In this episode, we cover:
- The Nomadic Shift: Why Corissa is trading a settled life for a life on the road, and why travel is the ultimate tool for stretching your concept of truth.
- The Frame of Safety: How we build prisons out of comfort, and why the messy parts of creation are where true aliveness exists.
- The AI Metaphor: Why most people live like machine learning algorithms, simply copying the past, and how to break the loop to become a true Creator.
- Authorship vs. Character: Moving from being the subject of the story to the writer of it, actively deciding where the character goes next.
- The Messiness of Creation: Why the messiness of life isn’t a sign of failure, but a necessary part of birthing a new version of yourself.
