EP 68: How to Get into a Flow State with Ease
Strategy might build the plan, but flow is what actually moves the needle.
Corinne Morahan challenges the default mindset of starting with strategy and instead makes a case for leading with intuition and flow. She shares how over-optimizing every aspect of her business left her feeling stuck, and how everything shifted when she stopped trying to control every outcome and started listening to her instincts.
Referencing the concept of flow from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s “Finding Flow,” Corinne explains how flow isn’t just a feel-good state. It leads to better ideas, more satisfying work, and faster results. She outlines the signs you’re out of flow (think: decision fatigue, overthinking, and never-ending to-do lists) and offers practical shifts to help you recalibrate, like building in space to daydream and trusting ideas before rushing to execute.
This episode is an invitation to reorder your approach: intuition first, strategy second. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on productivity, and maybe even permission to stop color-coding your calendar.
