29. How to Trust Yourself: Navigating the Four Stages of Human Consciousness and Intuition with Branislav Vukojevic
Have you ever thought you were following your intuition—only to realize later it was just fear, conditioning, or ego in disguise? In this episode, I sit down with my husband Branislav Vukojevic to explore the four stages of human consciousness and how they impact our ability to truly trust ourselves.
We talk about our own experiences moving through these stages—from blindly following false “gut feelings,” to overthinking everything, to finally finding grounded clarity and embodied awareness (still working on it!). Together, we unpack the difference between false and true intuition, and how belief systems shape our inner compass more than we realize.
If you’re navigating a spiritual awakening, questioning old patterns, or struggling to discern what’s truly right for you, this conversation will help you come home to yourself—and deepen your self-trust along the way.
🎧 Hit play and join us for a real, raw, and revealing journey into the evolution of consciousness.
