Major inflection points have a way of cracking things open. They can change your direction - and even prompt you to completely reimagine who you are and how you want to live.
In this episode, you’ll hear from Francesca Brunsden, a clear and thoughtful voice on what it means to navigate deep life transitions and stay rooted in your own sense of knowing—even when everything around you is unfamiliar.
Francesca shares what it was like to move to a new country, rebuild her life from scratch, and give birth to her son prematurely, knowing he wouldn’t survive. She reflects on the experience with honesty and clarity—speaking not just about the pain, but also the presence, connection, and meaning that emerged through it.
We also talk about the synchronicities that continue to unfold in her life—including a moment, just before recording this conversation, that defied logic and offered undeniable affirmation. Francesca shares how these moments have shaped her relationship with intuition and reminded her to trust what she already knows.
Inside this episode, you’ll hear us explore:
• What it means to say yes to the unknown—and stay open to what might happen
• The unexpected miracle that came with the birth of Francesca’s son at 25 weeks
• How identity can shift through motherhood, grief, and new beginnings
• A real-time extra special synchronicity that unfolded just before we hit record
• Why intuition doesn’t have to be mystical—just honest and grounded
• Simple ways to begin noticing what’s already guiding you
