Are We Really in Control? Breaking Free from Autopilot with Stacie Shifflett

Are we truly in control of our lives, or are we just running on autopilot, dictated by unconscious habits and conditioning? In this episode of The Mindful Journey Podcast, host Sana welcomes Stacie Shifflett, a powerhouse of reinvention and the founder of Modern Consciousness. Stacie has navigated career pivots, led a $50M software company acquisition, and even left city life to raise llamas. Now, she helps others break free from autopilot and design lives they love.Together, they explore: The truth about unconscious habits and how they shape our reality How to recognize if you’re living on autopilot The power of listening to your "little voice" and taking intentional action Practical steps to regain control of your life Overcoming fear and anxiety when embracing changeAbout Stacie Shifflett:Stacie is the founder of Modern Consciousness and a master of transformation. She has successfully acquired and scaled businesses, pioneered government tech innovations, and now dedicates her life to guiding others through conscious living.
