S1 | E8 Dr. Therese Rowley - Skilled Intuitive

Author: Matt Kosterman August 15, 2025 Duration: 1:21:26

I had the pleasure of experiencing not one, but TWO sessions with Therese at the very start of my transformational healing journey back in 2019. I was so f-ing excited to sit down with her and talk about her work earlier this week, especially with the vocabulary and understanding I have gleaned about the nature of this work in the intervening years.

In this expansive and deeply personal conversation, I sit down and chat with Dr. Therese Rowley — skilled intuitive, author, and organizational change agent — whose life has woven together mystical experience, Fortune 500 consulting, and groundbreaking work in the realms of healing and multisensory intelligence. Therese shares her journey from a childhood immersed in Catholic mysticism to becoming a sought-after intuitive for individuals, leaders, and businesses. Along the way, she recounts her own dark night of the soul, lessons from chronic fatigue syndrome, and the path that led her to help others navigate spiritual, emotional, and energetic transformation.

We also explore Therese’s visionary reframing of neurodiversity, particularly in children, as “multisensory intelligence” — a paradigm shift that moves beyond pathology to possibility. She explains how so-called “symptoms” may actually be signs of quantum perception and untapped human potential, and how parents, educators, and society can better support these gifts. This episode is a fascinating blend of personal story, spiritual insight, and forward-thinking ideas that challenge the boundaries between mysticism, science, and education.

**Dr. Rowley's Bio

**

A visionary intuitive with over two decades of experience working with neurodiverse youth and their parents.

Therese Rowley, CEO of Accelerated Alignment and Multisensory Intelligence, is a business consultant, intuitive expert, and advocate for multisensory youth. With a PhD in Business Transformation and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, she combines a sharp business acumen with over three decades of experience guiding corporate leaders through strategic and organizational transformations. Her consulting work includes partnering with leaders at organizations like AT&T, Kearney, Inc., and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and transforming legacy institutions, such as the YWCA-Chicago, into thriving enterprises. She has been adjunct faculty at the University of San Francisco, the University of Chicago Graham School, the Booth School’s LEAD Institute, and Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies. She founded the Conscious Business Network of Chicago in 2008 to bring together feisty, leading-edge leaders to stimulate business imagination, advancing a more conscious marketplace.
A skilled intuitive with a focus on transformation, Dr. Rowley has conducted over 12,000 intuitive readings and healings, supporting leaders and others to balance and align their inner and outer worlds. She teaches clients to access and trust their intuition through courses, webinars, and articles, as well as through her book, Mapping a New Reality: Discovering Intuitive Intelligence.
Dr. Rowley also brings expertise in neurodiversity, supporting parents of gifted and intuitive children through intuitive guidance and advocacy. She has long recognized that youth diagnosed as neurodiverse are uncommonly gifted. Her work gives voice to the child’s inner world, offering their parents a deeper understanding of their child’s purpose as well as practical strategies to help families appreciate, communicate with, and support them more effectively. As Executive Producer of The Misdiagnosis of Gifted Children, she sheds light on how gifted children are often misdiagnosed and medicated because the behaviors of profoundly gifted youth and the behaviors defined as ‘neurodiverse” are often identical.

For fifteen years, a deep healing journey has been the central thread of my life, weaving through everything from personal growth books and meditation to psychedelics, bodywork, and Tantric retreats. That path, filled with explorations of chakras, Human Design, and channeled works, is what I bring to The Permission Slip. This isn't a lecture hall; it's the continuation of those spontaneous, sometimes surprising conversations I tend to start with relative strangers about consciousness and transformation. Each episode feels like granting yourself the space to explore the edges of your own understanding. You'll hear genuine dialogues that delve into the practical and the profound, questioning how we heal, grow, and perceive reality itself. The aim of this podcast is to normalize these wide-ranging explorations, offering a sense of companionship for anyone curious about the tools and perspectives that challenge conventional self-improvement. It’s for those who find resonance in spirituality, health, and alternative education, and who are looking for a candid voice that has been there, digging through the layers. Tune in for a mix of personal reflection and external insight, all centered on the idea that sometimes what we need most is simply the permission to look inward and explore.
