Podcast Episode S1:E1 “Trusting Your Intuition”

Welcome to Listen to Your Soul,🎙✨ the podcast where we explore self-discovery, intuition, personal growth, and living a life aligned with your true purpose. I’m excited to dive deep into a topic that’s close to my heart – trusting your intuition.

If you’re here to connect more deeply with your inner wisdom or find more flow in your life, you’re in the right place. In this episode, we’ll explore what intuition is, how to recognise it, and, most importantly, when to trust it.

What is Intuition?

We’ve all heard about intuition, but what does it really mean? Some might call it a gut feeling, others an inner voice, and some refer to it as divine guidance. Regardless of the name, intuition is your deepest knowing, without the need for logical proof. It’s that voice or feeling inside you that knows what’s right even when your mind is filled with doubt.

Think about a time when you had a strong feeling about something, but didn’t act on it, only to realize later that you were right all along. Maybe you sensed something about a person before you met them, or chose a different route home only to find out you avoided an accident. That deep knowing, without any proof, is intuition at work.

However, the challenge is that we often doubt it. Society conditions us to trust logic and evidence over feelings, but intuition doesn’t always follow logic—it’s all about energy and tapping into something bigger than ourselves.

Intuition vs. Fear: How to Tell the Difference

How do you differentiate intuition from fear or anxiety? Here are a few key signs to look out for:

1. Intuition Feels Calm: It brings a sense of certainty, even when it doesn’t make logical sense. It’s calm, not panicked or frantic.
   
2. Intuition is Persistent: Unlike fleeting thoughts, intuition keeps nudging you in the same direction over and over, offering quiet, steady guidance.
   
3. Intuition Comes in Stillness: You’ll find it when you create space for quiet—whether it’s through meditation, journaling, or even a simple moment of silence. Personally, I get most of my intuitive insights when I take a shower, as my mind is free from distractions.
   
4. Intuition Aligns with Your Truth: It’s not about what’s easiest or most convenient—it’s about what feels right for you, even if it’s challenging.
   
5. Intuition Shows Up When You Need It Most: In moments of uncertainty or danger, intuition will guide you in ways that protect and serve you.

On the flip side, fear feels frantic, urgent, and panicked. It stirs up self-doubt and often brings up thoughts like, “What if I fail?” or “What if I embarrass myself?” This energy is very different from the calm, steady nature of intuition.

How to Strengthen Your Connection to Intuition

Now that you know how to recognise intuition, how can you strengthen it? Here are a few practices that have transformed my own journey:

1. Slow Down and Listen: Intuition can’t speak if your mind is too busy. Create quiet moments for yourself to hear it. Meditation, time in nature, or simply sitting with a journal are great ways to reconnect.
   
2. Listen to Your Body: Intuition often communicates through physical sensations. Pay attention to your gut feelings, tightness in your chest, or subtle sensations that arise in your body.
   
3. Follow the Energy: Notice what excites you, what flows easily, and what feels heavy or forced. Intuition often speaks through ease and inspiration, so trust what feels light and expansive.
   
4. Trust the Small Nudges: Start by trusting small, everyday intuitive choices. Whether it’s deciding what to eat or who to call, the more you trust your intuition, the stronger it will become.
   
5. Journal Your Intuitive Messages: Record moments when you’ve felt strongly guided by intuition. Over time, you’ll notice patterns and become more aware of your inner wisdom.

Trusting Your Intuition When It’s Challenged

Trusting your intuition can be tricky when it’s challenged by others. People around you may not understand your choices or may try to redirect you based on their own perspectives. But remember, their path isn’t yours. Trust that your journey is unique, and stick to what feels true to you.

I’ve had my own experiences where following my intuition led me down unexpected paths. When I started my first business during a recession, I had to block out all the conflicting advice and trust my gut. Had I not done that, I wouldn’t be here today, sharing this with you.

When I began writing my latest book, I was tempted to over-plan and over-edit, but I trusted my intuition to allow the project to flow naturally. And that’s the key: trust the process, trust your timing, and trust your intuition – even when others don’t understand or agree.

Why Your Intuition is Your Greatest Guide

Intuition isn’t loud -it’s a subtle, steady whisper. It doesn’t demand attention, but when you listen, things start to fall into place in ways you can’t logically explain. In a world that often values strategy, logic, and evidence over instinct, there’s something sacred about following your inner knowing. When you trust your intuition, you align with your deepest truth and begin to live in harmony with your soul.

Intuition guides you toward what’s right for you, even when it doesn’t make sense on the surface. It helps you break free from fear, self-doubt, and external validation. The more you trust your intuition, the more you build your confidence and alignment with your true self.
