I'm your host, Karin Calde. I'll talk with people about how we can strengthen our relationships, explore who we are in those relationships, and experience a greater sense of love and connection with those around us, including ourselves. I have a PhD in clinical Psychology, practiced as a psychologist resident, and after diving into my own healing work, I went back to school and became a coach, helping individuals and couples with their relationships and personal growth. If you want to experience more love in your life and contribute to healing the disconnect so prevalent in our world today, you're in the right place. Welcome to Love Is Us. Episode: [00:49] Karin: Hey, everybody. Thanks for being here. Today I'm going to be talking with Kristen Bush, who is a coach, and one of the things she specializes in is helping people connect with their intuition. I don't think intuition really gets its due. It can really be a powerful way for us to engage in our lives, engage in our relationships, connect with ourselves, make good decisions, and so, so much more. I loved hearing Kristen's perspective and her wisdom on this topic and just loved connecting with her. As you'll notice, there's lots of laughter during this episode. It was a lot of fun for me. So we talk about, again, intuition and what that has to do with relationships and what that has to do with boundaries in relationships. And we talk about how people pleasing can really get in the way of intuition. So you'll learn more about that. You'll also get a lot of really practical tips toward the end, Kristen makes some really great suggestions and so I hope you'll stick around for that. I thought they were really fabulous and ones that I think I will use for me and my clients, too. So take a listen. I hope you'll share. And thanks for being here.   Karin: Kristen, welcome.

We've actually been talking for almost 15 minutes now. We're just talking about all kinds of stuff that's been coming up for us in the other realms. So it's been really fun to connect already. But tell people where you are in the world. [02:37] Kristen: Yeah, I was looking at that question. I was like, well, this is a deep question, but I am in my boyfriend's house, his family home in Houston, Texas, Sugarland, Texas, to be exact, in the United States. [02:53] Karin: Why did I think you were in New York? [02:55] Kristen: Because I lived in New York for, like, ten years. Yeah. And my whole calendar is
