I always want to make sure this podcast is an incredible resource for you – I want this to be a space where I’m really nurturing things that are important to you and this community!
As I was thinking about what I wanted to share with you here, I reached out to my masterminds, as well as the brand NEW private panel on Instagram (which I’m loving!), about what they would like to hear, and what would be most helpful right now. I received a variety of responses, but there was definitely a common thread in there. It seems that many of us want to better learn how to know, love, and trust ourselves, and be able to listen to our inner voice (aka our intuition). I’m excited to chat more about all of this, and since there is quite a bit to cover, this episode will be part 1 of a 2 part series!
In today’s episode, I want to talk about WHY developing your intuition can be challenging, and really, how to rebuild and reconnect with yourself so it doesn’t stay that way. I’ve talked about this a little bit on the podcast before, but as I’ve continued going deeper on my own journey, I’ve found that coming home to myself and knowing, loving, and trusting myself is such a spiritual experience that transcends consciousness. Intuition isn’t ‘flighty’ like the typical dictionary definition makes it out to be, but rather, a beautiful GIFT!
Being able to tap into, recognize, and then act on your inner knowing is totally possible, but..how often have you gone against your intuition, instead of leaning into and acting on it? I’m sure you’ve experienced that multiple times – I hear this often from women in my masterminds and community, because we’ve been conditioned for SO long to go against what our intuition is telling us!
No, we don’t need to know #allthethings or feel like we have everything always figured out – that’s not realistic, and that’s way too much damn pressure on ourselves. We SHOULD feel confident enough to ask questions about the world around us, and then tune into our inner knowing, because it’s never going to lead us astray.
One of my biggest action steps for you from this episode is to FEEL your feelings. I know it is freaking HARD, but you’ve got to give yourself permission to fully ‘feel your feelings’ (instead of shoving them down like they never existed). Doing this will allow those feelings to fully move through you so you can move on, and continue going on the path that you’re meant to be on, friend!
In this episode, Part 1: Why You’re Disconnected from Your Inner Knowing, How to Know, Love, and Trust Yourself, and Developing Your Intuition, I cover:
- Why intuition isn’t ‘flighty’, but is actually a deeper, spiritual experience that transcends consciousness and allows you to come home to yourself
- Thinking about times you tuned into and acted on your intuition versus going against it
- Why SO many women struggle with the concept of knowing, loving, and trusting themselves
- Being okay with not knowing/having everything figured out and asking questions about God, spirituality, religion, etc.
- The very ‘mixed’ messaging we receive regarding health and wellness, motherhood, business, and more
- The obsession we have with right versus wrong + actually ‘feeling our feelings’, so our emotions can move through us
