Hi, everyone, welcome to Self Love Stories. I'm your host, Jessie Anne Zayas, and I am so excited to be coming through your airways today, through your headphones. I go so old school airways. I feel like I'm on a radio show, I guess, with these podcast formats and seeing this mic in front of my face. But, you know, that's kind of why I'm coming into the space with you today. You know, I really want to share some transformative messages, some messages that are coming in for May. I want to just share how we can work with these. How can we utilize these for our own personal growth, our own path to strengthen our connection to our intuition, to self-trust, and ultimately grow our self-love. And so I want to take a step back and, you know, a lot of these messages are on my mind. I just got done doing my client readings. What I love to do for my one-to-one clients that I mentor and coach and even consult for is I love to give them monthly forecast. And as you can imagine, they are tailored to their own specific charts as well, but it's also kind of a general, more collective as well, because these people are leaders. They're change makers. They're going to be, you know, around the collective as well. So I want them to be aware of what's happening both mrily, around them consciously, collectively, but also, you know, how they can anchor within themselves to navigate and to receive all the potency that's around them. And so I wanted to come in here because I wanted to share some of the really strong messages that were coming through that I think we all can benefit from. And that really have helped me grow my self-love and have been a really big part of my self-love journey. And the first and foremost one being my journey and my relationship to my intuition. And this is something I've always had. I've always had a very strong connection to my intuition. But I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that first as a woman in this patriarchal society. How much, you know, we're told to really lean on facts, on data, on what's in front of us versus our hunches, our insincts, our guts. This intuitive knowing that something is right or wrong or even a knowledge or wisdom that you have that you don't even know where it came from, but you know it to be true. And especially in my corporate life experience, I've even witnessed, you know, being in boardrooms where, you know, we were leaning only into the data, into the facts. And there were some brilliant instincts and intuition and inner knowing that people were receiving that in some beautiful ways we followed and they really allowed us to capture such prosperity in abundance because nobody had ever done it before. And all the data said maybe it wasn't the right thing to do, but we knew in our bones, in our blood, in our intuition that it was the right thing to do. And on the reverse, I've seen us kill our instincts and intuitions and boardrooms and conference rooms as well because we're so focused on the data and we're so focused on what's right in front of us or what can be seen and labeled. And if you're listening to this, my suspicion is you're on your own journey of finding the truth and trusting yourself in your inner knowing and finding ways to integrate it with also the data and all the facts that around us. Like we live in, we're still in this beautiful information age. We have so much information at the tips of our fingertips, which is so beautiful. But just like all things, we can get so consumed by all the information, by all the knowledge, by all the different perspectives and stories out there that we end up not listening to our own story, not listening to our own wisdom, not listening to our own inner voice. And a lot of times when we ignore those within us too, when we don't listen to those hunches, when we don't listen to those god instincts, when we don't listen to that intuitive download, those are the ways that we chip away at ourselves trust. And one thing we know about self-trust, that is a big tenet of self-love is to trust yourself is to honor your intuition, honor that intuitive knowing, and to trust yourself, even if you're right or wrong, too, that's the other part of it. That you're proud of yourself, that you did listen to yourself and you honored yourself. And maybe if you weren't right, how you also were with that moment and what you learned from that and what wisdom you gain from that. It doesn't mean anything about you. It doesn't mean that you are not a good person or didn't do it right. It just means that this intuitive hunch didn't pan out the way that you thought it was going to pan out. Doesn't mean to continue not to use it to grow it, because I will say the opposite of what usually happens is it's usually nine times out of ten freaking spot on and right. And it's also practice of discerning your intuition from your fear, right? A lot of times we think that inner voice is our intuition when a lot of times it's actually our fear speaking or even our inner child trying to communicate to us and trying to speak to us. And this is actually one of the big things that I really dive into in my school of intuition. We spent a whole week or we spent every week actually discerning. Is this my intuition or my ego? Is this my intuition or my anxiety? Is this my intuition or fear? And we find different ways to really tune into that frequency, to tune into the language of our intuition because that's the other thing, our intuition likes to speak in different ways to all of us. Some of us do hear a voice in our minds. Some of us just see signs and synchronicities and symbols all around us. And if we're too busy or not in the present moment or a nervous systems or deregulated and we can't feel the goosebumps that we get or we can't sense the seventh time. I keep on seeing owls, right? But there's a reason why I keep on seeing an owl and I know that it, it's leading me somewhere. You right, down some kind of path and all of a sudden let's say, all of a sudden I get the job that I ever wanted and they have an out emblem in their logo, right? It's like those little things that in very potent and powerful ways that are intuition speaks to us. And I think a lot of times and our self-love journey, we realize how important building a relationship with our intuition is and growing our relationship to our intuition is as well in terms of a healthy, self- self-love practice, because that is our inner knowing. That is our spirit speaking to us. And we are spiritual beings having a human experience. And so why wouldn't we be getting these downloads? And if you, for example, if you believe in connecting to God or Goddess or source or the universe or the divine, whatever you speak to it, there is a higher source, a higher energy, a higher frequency that we are all tapped into and that we all embody within us. We are all God and goddesses. We are all the divine. We are all spirit and source, walking in this life, in this moment. And so why wouldn't you be receiving downloads from the divine? Why wouldn't you be receiving downloads from the universe? And so how can we listen to those? How can we tune into those? How can we honor them most importantly, when we receive them? So if step one of your journey, and I want to honor that we're all in different stages of our journey, when it comes to growing and listening and honoring our intuition, which is step one awareness. Aareness of intuition in our lives, awareness of maybe in your life where you received intuitive hits or how your intuition came up, take note of that. It's awareness of how you're intuition speaks to you. Maybe even environments it speaks to you. Oh, my intuition actually speaks to me when I'm in the shower, when I'm in relaxing. Maybe when I'm dreaming, I get really profound dreams. When I'm in silence, when I'm in nature, start getting curious in ways that your intuition speaks to because in a beautiful way, you are the master of your light. You're the master creator. You can recreate these environments. Another way to say it is that, let's say you're like, oh, I just get these amazing downloads in the shower. And I don't like have them when I'm outside the shower. Well, how fascinating it is in a place that you're probably feel safe, where you feel probably relaxed, more peaceful. And if we kind of take it a step further, maybe where your nervous system is being regulated. Where it's having a moment to calm down and get back into a safe and secure place, especially water being so therapeuting to ground us and to calm us, that maybe that's why intuition's coming out stronger. So how beautiful is it that you now know how can you cultivate more peace in your life? How can you cultivate more spaces that you feel safe and secure within either in your own home or in different environments? And maybe also, how can you be around water even, right, next to a lake, next to a pond, next to an ocean. or intentionally taking a shower, taking a bath to connect to that divine Spirit that you feel connected to when you're in those moments. So I hope you see it's a both and in both it's a, we can look at this scientifically and we can look at this spiritually and it'll all lead us to the same path, which ultimately is. We all have this strong, inner knowing and all of us. We've called it hunches, we've called it guts, you know, gut feelings. We've called it spidey senses. We have all these names for it in literature, in poetry, and autobiographies. And its intuition and we all have it. And that was one of the biggest downloads that I receiving for this month is how are we all growing and cultivating and most importantly, honoring our intuition. And it's never too late to start growing your connection. Your intuition's always there. It's not something like you got to go find, which how amazing is that? You don't have to go buy this source, this, go find somebody to give it to you. It's in you already. Now, if you're craving some support, right? Because that's the beauty of having human support, right? This is one of the things that I've, you know, even realized that AI just unfortunately can never do for us, which is coregulate. And coregulation just means, you know, being able to hold space for another human being so that they feel safe and secure so that they can actually drop into the space in place where they can feel these intuitive nudges so that they can be fully connected not only with themselves, but all parts of themselves. And so if you want to be in a space that will hold you and that will feed you and nourish you and help and guide you in connecting with your intuition, I would lovingly, love, love, love to invite you to my school of intuition that will be starting very soon. I'll actually drop the details in the show notes here. But I would be honored to help guide you on your path of fully expressing your intuition, fully listening to your intuition, and growing some intuitive superpowers that you probably didn't even have. I won't even get into the different cles that we all have, right? We all have these different clears, you know, one of them being, you know, right, clairvoyance, clear audience, right? Like, there are multiple, even Claires that we all have that we can tap into. There's all different forms in ways that we can grow our intuitive connection into really hear our intuition stronger than ever. And then being held in a space that grows your confidence around it that allows you to, you know, take more agency over your intuition because you won't be doing it alone. You'll be doing it with other so aligned community members as well. And you all will be playing together and noticing together and quite honestly, and this has been the beautiful thing I've already run the cohort before, amplify each other's intuition. It was some wild, beautiful stuff that was going on where, you know, when we were in groups where we were in settings, where different signs and synchronicities even started to play with each other. So I just want to tell you your intuition is so strong. It is so powerful. Maybe it just has a little, maybe it's just been calcified and that's totally okay. We can we can take that armor off of it. We can take that calcification off of it and we can allow it to radiate and grow and then we can get better at learning its language because it not only speaks to us, right, through voice or words, it speaks to us in different ways so we can we can figure that out which is a beautiful expression of self-love. That's knowing yourself more, that's getting to fully express yourself to the fullest and highest ability of you. It's getting to understand your superpowers and being able to bring that forth into the world. And it's building self trust with your own self-inner knowing that you don't have to read a book. You don't have to get the boards insight. You don't have to, you know, read the tarot. You don't have to go to your astrologer. You don't have to read another self-help book. It's all within you and building that trust, building that inner knowing, and also healing at the same time, because intuition work, as I mentioned earlier, especially in school of intuition where we discern between anxiety or fear, it alsoows us to heal because it allows us to see and discern. Oh, that's not my intuition. That's actually, oh, that's eight-year-old Jess talking, hey girl, what's up? How can I help you? How can I love you? What are you scared about right now? Let me hold you. Let me be with you. And let me bring the sphere along so that we can help heal it together versus ignore it. Because that's not fair to me and that's not self-compassion and that's not self-love. So I hope you can hear how powerful your journey of growing your intuition can also be a very profound healing journey and be a very profound journey for your self-lo. The last two things I want to mention to that were coming in really strong for the month of May is trusting right timing and being ready. And that again goes back to intuition, right? Sometimes we just know things are off. Sometimes we know we're ready when everybody around us is telling us that we're not and that we need more of this and we need more of that. It's really this message of like trusting that right timing. And I'm not saying right as in there's an answer out there. Again, it's that inner knowing that you just know it to be true. And in a way, it's like universe is coconspiring with you because all of a sudden it's like, you did the thing and all of a sudden the opportunity just meets you at your front door, which then goes into my second part of being ready. It's like be ready to receive the abundance. Be ready to capture or realize what you're wanting to realize in your life. So, for example, if you've always dreamed to be a New York Times bestseller, it's don't wait on writing the New York Times bestseller before you get a publisher, before you get anybody of any interest. It's like write it now. Write the story, write the book, write the thing that needs to be fully expressed that you know will be that New York Times Festeller and trust that and honor that and know that right timing will meet you because you're also ready. And so it can also look like at, you know, getting better at certain skill sets or mastering a certain craft. Like you can be using, quote unquote, this time to be ready for that right timing in that intuition is really going to support you with that, but I'm going to put another word out there, faith. And faith is just the opposite of fear. Fear is just thinking everything, all the badness or all the bad things are going to happen, right? Like, I'm not going to be loved. I will be made fun of. I won't have the success. This bad thing might happen or this can go wrong or I've seen this person get screwed for this thing. So that might mean I might be screwed, right? It's all the fear, it's all the, all the negative that can happen. And all that faith is, is all the good and trusting that all the good will happen. And you get to choose. faith or fear. How beautiful. And a lot of us have really grown that fear muscle, hand included, right? I got my hand raised right now. And actually became my superpower, especially in corporate America, to know every bad thing that was going to happen, every risk that was going to happen, and to be prepared for it. Like, that is actually why I got a lot of the success that I got because I was ready. Like I was ready for anything. But I can also honor that I can just as greatly as I grew that muscle. I can also grow my faith muscle. And that's been another big part of my self-love journey is growing my connection to faith. And talking about how healing that journey can be, it also healed me from realizing I've had limiting beliefs around faith because there was some religious trauma in there, which is a whole nother story for a whole day. So I had to learn and re calibrate my relationship to faith, which is the definition which I just gave you, which is the belief that all the goodness will happen. Just like fear is the belief that all the badness could happen. And once I was aware of that and said, oh, I can do that. It was just a daily practice. And that's all it takes a little by little, every single day. And then one day you're all of a sudden going, oh my goodness, how did I build all this faith? And, and with building all this faith, you end up really amplifying your intuition because fear isn't in the driver's seat anymore. Faith is in the driver's seat. And so faith has all channels on where fear had everything shut off, right? And so to that point, faith even helps amplify your intuition journey. And if with all things helps amplify your self-love journey as well, because you do deserve all the goodness in your life. And the universe wants you to have all the goodness in your life. You deserve to have all the goodness in your life. So why not anchor on that frequency? Why not choose faith over fear? And this isn't this isn't a conversation about toxic positivity either, right? Where we just bypass fear all along because that's where I go back to this is can be a profound healing journey as well. And what I mean by that is as you're cultivating faith, you're going to realize the things that do bring you fear. And you have another choice to connect with that fear and to really go under the surface and to understand what the root of that fear is so you can finally pull it out from the roots versus just continuing just to trim the weeds, if you will, right? You're actually pulling the root of that fear out and then you're planting a new seed of faith or a new story that no longer allows that fear to procreate, to grow. In your mind, your subconscious wherever it planted its roots in. And so I hope that gives you some hope and faith into this journey in May. There's going to be really big energies that you'll be feeling around trusting your intuition and around right timing and being ready. So that's why I wanted a lovingly, very slimmer to my clients, right, give you that, that forecast to say, hey, practice on your intuition this month. Notice. And step one is just notice your intuition. Notice ways that you can connect with it more. Notice what downloads you're receiving. Like I said, if you're somebody that maybe receives downloads and dreams, have a dream journal. If you're someone that receives downloads while taking a shower a bath, take some more showers and baths and or see in ways that you can recreate that same environment in different ways, right? Going and doing a full, a few laps at the pool or sitting down near lake or a pond and journaling, right? So start getting curious on the ways that you can connect your intuition already. That can also be in ways that you can look into the past and when you heard your intuition and start thinking about the environments that you were in. And if you're starting with scratch, just be playful. Start with maybe five minutes of meditation, maybe start with five minutes in nature, and stillness in silence. And again, I want to honor that a lot of us are operating with a deregulated nervous systems stillness in silence can actually feel uncomfortable for us because that's not the quote unquote natural state we're used to always being in. We might, you know, depending on how we grew up, we could have been raised in a very chaotic or highly stressful environment. So from a scientific perspective, our bodies are actually more calibrated and conditioned to that more chaotic environment versus a safe and secure environment. So I just want to honor that and call that out that part of this journey, you might start seeing ways in which you can heal that, heal your relationship to stillness, heal your relationship to silence, heal your relationship to, you know, productivity. and always quote unquote doing something. And lastly, what I want to say around this too, is how can you be ready for right timing, right? How can you be ready to meet that moment in the future? Maybe there's a new skill. Maybe there's a way that you can start mastering more of what you already know. Maybe it's writing the manuscript. Maybe it's rehearsing the TED Talk. Right. Maybe it's already writing your manifesto. It's getting ready for that right timing. So choose faith over fear. And if you're feeling called to grow your intuition, I would love to invite you to school of intuition. We would be honored to have you in the sacred space and community in just a friendly reminder, you have this all in you already. You can connect to the power of your intuition at any moment and you can choose faith over fear whenever you would like. And if you ever need any help, I am here for you. I can help be your guide, your guardian, as you navigate these depths. In speaking of navigating these depths, we do have a Scorpio full moon coming up, May 12th, which is really going to be shining a light into those creepy crawlers, into the shadows of our psyche, of our subconscious. So this is actually a beautiful time to release any limiting beliefs. Maybe even some subconscious reprogramming, even some beautiful inner child work could be very powerful during this time. But don't be scared of shadow work. We all carry our shadows. We all carry jealousy, shame, fear, embarrassment, anger, envy. Whatever you think your shadow is, I promise you, there are a million more people that have it as well. And so you are not alone. You are a human being. Well, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. So know that the shadows is the humanness of your experience, and it's nothing to be ashamed about or to alienate even. So allow Scorpio protective and brave energy and transformative energy come to you to help you see the shadows that are still there that may be limiting you from bringing in all of the light and all of the light expression of your highest self. So we can all receive it, but most importantly, so you can receive it. This is another important way to grow yourself love is to honor your shadows and to love your shadows and to be with your shadows, but also to transform your shadows. Because that's what you're here to do as well. That's part of your experience. And we'll be doing it every day for the rest of the rest of the time that we're here. It's not a destination. It's a journey. So how can you be graceful with yourself? How can you be nourishing with yourself? How can you be kind and compassionate with yourself? And most importantly, be patient with yourself. Transformation takes time. And then just like that, it happens. It's like both slow and fast. So be patient. Allow the transformation to unfold. I'm so excited to see what Mae brings for you, what it heals for you, and what it shares to you. And I'm sending so much love for your self-love journey. I hope to see you either at our monthly moon meetup or at school of intuition Send you so many blessings. We'll talk soon.
