When You Just Know with Elsa Elbert

When You Just Know with Elsa Elbert15 sept43 min

<p>What does it feel like when you just know?</p><p><br></p><p>Elsa Elbert built a career without ever quite meaning to — fifteen years in healthcare administration, a leap into data center operations, and then a brief and painful (though informative) stint at a financial institution that put her off corporate ladders… perhaps for good. She’s now the founder of Composed Living, a professional organizing business she’s run for a decade and that’s grown from a solo operation into a team of fifteen, complete with a retail storefront in Woodland Hills. She also has her own podcast on the side.</p><p><br></p><p>Elsa is a deliberate, careful thinker by nature — she reads, studies, and doesn’t rush decisions. But she traces nearly every major turn in her life back to something else: a handful of moments that arrived as sudden, whole-body certainty, moments she believes were only possible because of all that quieter groundwork. She talks about what that kind of intuition asks of a person, and a well-worn book of hers that keeps handing her something new depending on where she is in life.</p>
