The Magic in the Pause: Reinventing Life at Any Age with Janet Wiszowaty

I Think I'm Intuitive...So Why Can't I Access It?

So many people believe they can’t access their intuition… because they can’t meditate. But what if that’s not the problem? In this episode, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions around intuition and higher guidance—and why forcing yourself into traditional meditation practices may actually be getting in the way. The truth is, most people are already intuitive. They’re already receiving information. They just don’t recognize it… or don’t trust what they’re getting. We’ll explore: * Why meditation isn’t the only (or best) way to access intuition * How intuitive guidance actually shows up in everyday moments * The real reason people doubt or dismiss what they receive * How your natural way of thinking and processing affects how intuition comes through * Why intuition and logic aren’t opposites—and how they work together I also share insights from my own experience transitioning from a highly analytical military background to understanding how intuitive processing was always part of how I operated—I just didn’t have the language for it. If you’ve ever thought, “I think I’m intuitive… but I don’t trust it,” his episode will help you see what’s really going on—and what’s been missing. If you’re ready to go deeper, I’ve created a private mentorship called Applied Intuition: Developing Your Intuitive Intelligence where I help you learn how to access, trust, and apply your intuitive intelligence in real life and real decisions.

The Magic in the Pause: Reinventing Life at Any Age with Janet Wiszowaty

In this heartfelt episode of Finding Focus, Kathleen Davenport sits down with longtime friend Janet Wiszowaty for a rich conversation about reinvention, resilience, healing, and the courage to keep growing at every stage of life.   Janet shares her remarkable journey from high school dropout and young mother to Royal Canadian Mounted Police dispatcher, author, speaker, coach, and retreat leader. Along the way, she opens up about the life events that shaped her—including her husband’s heart attack, her own struggles with fibromyalgia, PTSD, burnout, and the wake-up calls that forced her to pause, listen, and choose a new path.   Together, Kathleen and Janet explore the power of personal development, the importance of the people we surround ourselves with, and the truth that it is never too late to begin again. They talk about how busyness can mask what truly needs our attention, how the body often signals what the soul already knows, and why healing, purpose, fun, friendship, and legacy all matter in building a meaningful life.   This episode is a reminder that your life is not over just because one chapter ended. Sometimes the pause is where the real magic begins.   Episode Highlights * Janet shares how a lack of confidence in her younger years did not stop her from building an extraordinary life. * A powerful reflection on how beliefs about who we are often come from others—and can be rewritten. * Why retirement is not the end for many people, but the start of a whole new chapter. * Janet’s story of navigating her husband’s heart attack and how that experience eventually led to her own physical collapse. * A moving conversation about fibromyalgia, trauma, and how the body stores what we do not process. * Why healing often begins when we stop ignoring the “little taps on the shoulder.” * Kathleen and Janet discuss the danger of staying busy to avoid what really needs attention. * The importance of vision, present-moment action, and consciously choosing how to respond to life. * Janet introduces her retreat, The Magic in the Pause, and the seven life areas she believes deserve our attention. * A conversation about friendship, environment, and why the people around us shape our energy, focus, and possibilities. * Janet shares how she turned a dream of speaking at the United Nations into reality. * A beautiful reminder that no training, teacher, or mentor “changes your life” for you—they help bring out what is already within you. * The episode closes with encouragement to stop waiting, trust the timing of your life, and remember that growth is possible at any age.   Key Takeaways * It is never too late to reinvent yourself. * The body often speaks when the mind refuses to listen. * Busyness can become a mask. * Healing requires attention, choice, and action. * The right people can help you see possibilities you cannot yet see for yourself. * Pauses are not always setbacks; sometimes they are invitations. * Your lived experience holds wisdom that can serve others.   Contact Janet Wiszowaty:  ·     Text: 780 983 0840 ·     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/janet.wiszowaty?mibextid=LQQJ4d [https://www.facebook.com/janet.wiszowaty?mibextid=LQQJ4d] ·     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetwiszowaty/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/janetwiszowaty/] ·     Instagram: NowWhatCoach Here's where you can find and connect with Kathleen in all the cozy corners where she hangs out: https://linktr.ee/kathleendavenport Available on all major podcast stations, Finding Focus with Kathleen Davenport is where transformation stories come alive.

Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychic Detection: An In-Depth Conversation with Todd Segal

In this episode, Kathleen sits down with psychic detective and medium Todd Segal (joining from Williamsburg, Virginia) for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about intuition, psychic detective work, and what it’s like to live with heightened perception in a very “logical” world. Todd shares how his path unfolded unexpectedly--from running a New England bed-and-breakfast on spiritually active land, to giving spontaneous “breakfast table” readings, to realizing (after thousands of “coincidences”) that what he was receiving wasn’t imagination--it was clear, detailed vision. Kathleen and Todd also revisit the real-life cases that first connected them: the missing hiker in Maui and a subsequent search for an elderly neighbor who wandered into dense terrain--cases where Todd’s specific details (including the presence of wild pig trails) matched what searchers found. Together, they explore the tension many people feel between logic and intuition--especially those in the military or law enforcement--along with why intuitive people often struggle to “read” themselves. Todd also discusses discernment, the risks of perceiving what others don’t want known, and why stepping into one’s true work can relieve depression and restore purpose. As the conversation expands, Todd touches on broader themes: intense weather patterns and solar activity, a growing societal divide, and a bigger “cosmic” perspective--suggesting we’re living inside a much larger reality, with human evolution driven not only by technology but by changes in our own awareness and “waking up” over time. The episode closes with warmth and humor, including Todd’s dream of windsurfing as a “retirement career” and Kathleen’s stories from golfing with her 80+ crew—proof that staying engaged keeps us alive. Highlights & Key Moments * How Kathleen and Todd first connected: Todd’s input on a missing Maui hiker case (and later an elderly neighbor search) showcased the kind of precise, location-based detail Todd is known for. * Todd’s origin story: A skeptical carpenter/farmer/artist who began unintentionally delivering accurate insights—then couldn’t ignore the pattern. * September 11th premonition: A striking moment Todd describes as an early confirmation that something beyond “coincidence” was happening. * What a “psychic detective” actually does: Todd compares it to detective work—except the evidence is received internally as clear vision rather than gathered physically. * Logic vs intuition (especially in military/law enforcement): Both agree those environments often rely on intuition, even when people won’t name it that way. * Why you can’t read yourself well: Emotional bias and fear can block self-perception—one reason even intuitives seek other intuitives. * The “cost” of the work: Todd shares the heavy side--gruesome information, difficult energy, and why he’s become more selective with exposure. * Discernment and safety: Todd notes that knowing what others want hidden can create real-world risk, even if people don’t openly believe in psychic perception. * Weather, solar activity, and sensitivity: A practical conversation about energetic “off days,” electronics acting up, and extreme temperature patterns. * Big-picture perspective: Todd frames life as a small slice of a much larger reality--suggesting humanity is reawakening, and younger generations may access different capacities.

Embody the Becoming. Find the Joy in Your Life.

As we step into a new year, this short 5-Minute Focus offers a gentle but powerful reframe: joy is not something you earn later—it’s something you embody along the way. In this episode, I invite you to release the idea that joy is a reward waiting at the finish line. Instead, I explore joy as a quiet signal of alignment—an honest response that arises when you’re living in truth, not striving for perfection. If you’re thoughtful, growth-oriented, or spiritually curious, you may recognize the endless loop of “fixing,” healing, or preparing for what comes next. I offer a compassionate shift from striving to inhabiting—from waiting to Embodying the Becoming. This episode is a reminder that joy doesn’t require denial or forced positivity. It doesn’t erase grief or uncertainty. It simply walks alongside you as you allow who you’re becoming to show up in real life—through your choices, boundaries, relationships, and pace. A perfect pause for the new year—or any moment when you’re ready to stop postponing your life and start living it. Episode Highlights: * Why joy is not a goal or reward, but part of the journey * The difference between joy and forced positivity or spiritual bypass * How joy acts as a signal of alignment and truth * The subtle trap of constant self-improvement and “once I get there” thinking * What it means to Embody the Becoming in everyday life * An invitation to stop waiting until you feel ready and begin inhabiting your life now * A gentle New Year wish rooted in trust, honesty, and alignment Here's where you can find and connect with Kathleen in all the cozy corners where she hangs out: https://linktr.ee/kathleendavenport Available on all major podcast stations, Finding Focus with Kathleen Davenport is where transformation stories come alive.
