Founder Intuition, Leadership Boundaries & Building in Silence | Self Care

What happens when your intuition tells you something is off?

In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy explores intuition, energetic boundaries and why founders must sometimes build quietly before they build publicly.

In a business culture that rewards constant visibility and updates, Geraldine reframes silence as discernment. When a project is still forming, when strategy is anchoring and agreements are not yet finalised, premature exposure can destabilise clarity and dilute conviction.

This episode explores:

• Why your first intuitive response is often the most accurate
 • Protecting projects during their conception phase
 • Remaining intentionally vague while direction solidifies
 • Managing projections, assumptions and external pressure
 • The connection between nervous system regulation and leadership
 • Why silence can be a form of energetic stewardship
 • Building with grounded conviction before seeking validation

Drawing from her experience as a founder operating in high-confidentiality environments, Geraldine explains why not everything needs to be shared in real time.

Silence is not secrecy.
 It is maturity.
 It is self-leadership.

For founders, entrepreneurs and leaders navigating early-stage ideas, this conversation offers a grounded reminder: trust your intuition, protect your energy and allow structure to settle before visibility follows.
