Learning to Trust Your Intuition: Following the Quiet Pings EP 91
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever had one of those quiet moments where you just knew you were supposed to do something... even though it made absolutely no logical sense?
In this episode, I share the story of an unexpected intuitive nudge at a farewell party, one that led me to give a young girl a small black obsidian crystal. What happened next became a powerful reminder that intuition isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning to trust yourself enough to listen.
As the story unfolds, it reveals something even bigger: how practicing self-trust changes the way we move through the world, how others experience us, and how our younger selves might see the person we've become.
If you've ever questioned your intuition, second-guessed yourself, or wondered how to strengthen that quiet inner knowing, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, we explore:
• Learning to trust your intuition
• Building self-trust through small, everyday moments
• The connection between intuition and nervous system regulation
• Following the quiet "pings" that often get drowned out by overthinking
• A powerful reflection on seeing yourself through your younger self's eyes
Whether you're curious about intuition, personal growth, nervous system healing, or simply becoming more connected to yourself, I hope this story reminds you that your inner knowing gets stronger every time you choose to listen.
If this episode resonates, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone who's learning to trust themselves, too.
Looking for somewhere to have conversations like this?
Every Wednesday at 8 PM EST, I host a free community call for women who are sober, alcohol-free, or questioning their relationship with alcohol. We talk about the stuff that comes with choosing to live differently... the rebuilding, the relationships, the identity shifts, the hard days, and figuring out what you actually want your life to look like now.
You don't need to have it all figured out, and you don't need to be a certain number of days, months or years alcohol-free. Come listen, share, connect, and be around other women who get it.
