Every Leader Has a WTF Moment.
The Walk the Fire (WTF) moment is the crisis, crossroads or catalyst when “business as usual” stops working. It’s when you choose to stay stuck and play it safe...or reinvent and play it big. On Walk the Fire, entrepreneurs and executives get real about how they walked the fire, what burned away, and what changed them as leaders.

Everyone Has a WTF Moment.
On the Walk the Fire podcast, entrepreneurs and executives get real about their Walk the Fire (WTF) moments, what burned away, and how it defined their next chapters.
What if one question could change your life? In this episode, Chicken Soup for the Soul co-creator Mark Victor Hansen and transformational coach Crystal Dwyer Hansen reveal the secret to reinvention, resilience, and unlocking your true calling... by mastering the art of asking.
"Take adversity and turn it into advantage—that’s the pivot."
— Mark Victor Hansen
“There's no mechanism that reveals what’s hidden like asking.”
— Crystal Dwyer Hansen
EPISODE 44
Christie Turley shares how resisting her intuition kept her stuck in formulas, mentors, and external validation until unmistakable signs pushed her to write The Intuition-Led Business. She explains that intuition feels like an electric nudge, often dismissed by logic, but when followed it creates flow, clarity, and alignment.
“Intuition is the easy button for every challenge—press it, and the answer arrives.”
— Christie Turley
