Episode 1: Are You Living On Autopilot?

Most of us don't wake up intending to live on autopilot. Yet somewhere between responsibilities, deadlines, expectations, and everyday pressures, we often find ourselves reacting instead of choosing.

In this inaugural episode of Living with Intention, Vernon Roberts and Gieselle Poveromo explore the difference between intentional living and autopilot living. Together, they discuss how scarcity thinking influences our decisions, why so many resolutions fail, and how small, purposeful choices can help us reconnect with what matters most.

You'll discover why resetting isn't failure, how abundance is really about choice rather than having more, and why living intentionally starts with a single decision made on purpose.

• Scarcity vs. abundance thinking
