From ‘I’m Not Intuitive’ to Master Intuitive: 3 Women Share Their Journey (part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if trusting your gut was more than just a saying and could be your family’s greatest asset? In this episode, I bring together three women who started as beginners and are now level 3 Master Intuitives guiding their families and themselves with a new kind of confidence. They reveal the surprising ways intuition really shows up (spoiler: it’s more than “a feeling”), the science behind getting answers you can trust, and their most memorable “I can’t believe that just happened” stories. Ready to shift from outsourcing your power to truly owning it, even if you think you’re not “spiritual”? Press play and hear practical proof, real results, and the community that changed everything.
Topics Discussed
- Why everyone has intuition, even if you think you don’t, and how to actually access it
- How real women used science-backed methods to go from self-doubt to self-trust
- Concrete, real-life and fun intuition stories
- The difference between outsourcing decisions and trusting your own inner answers
- How being part of a like-minded community transforms everything for your family and yourself
One powerful realization can change the way you lead your life and your family, forever. Will you honor that nudge to listen in?

Welcome back to the Rooted Within Podcast. My name is Mickey, founder and CEO of Whole Family Health. This is where ancient wisdom and modern science come together, a return to wholeness led by the wisdom that has always lived within you. Welcome back to the Rooted Within Podcast. And I am so excited to share today's episode. Today we are starting a two-part, we're gonna break this baby in half, two-part episode of bringing on some of the new level three master intuitives that have been training their intuition with us for almost a full year. We have brought some of these trained intuitives on today, and I'm going to just start picking their brain a little bit about how the program felt, how their intuition has strengthened, what is their favorite intuition story, all types of questions, and you guys are going to be able to hear from their mouths kind of their experience, how they walked into the program, how they found us, how it's changed their life. It is a juicy episode. So we are gonna get started with our guests today. We've got Ashley, we have Chelsea, and we have Katha. Now we are going to split this episode in half. So come back next week to listen to the last part of this really good conversation. And without further ado, let's get started. We have Katha here. And hi, hello. We have Ashley here. Hello. And Chelsea, Chelsea girl. Hi, everyone. Hi, everyone. So we are gonna get into some questions just about their intuition journey and kind of what they felt like with taking the programs and where they are right now versus where they started with. So, Katha, let's start with you. Do you mind sharing a little bit about your story and kind of what most attracted you to intuition and this line of work? I think if my memory is serving me, had like no intuition background knowledge. Totally.
SPEAKER_01I didn't know you actually before the program started, like two weeks before. Seriously. Really? A friend of mine shared a post you did about child reflections.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And that caught me so so deeply. I felt it so deeply in my heart. And that's when I thought I have to find out who that person is who did that post. And then, well, actually, I'm never looking deeper into who the person is, like going on a website on Instagram, but that was like, I guess, the first time where I thought, I know, I have to find out what that person is doing. And like literally, I guess two or three days after we had a call to see the intuition program is perfect for me, and was like 100%. And then I don't know, maybe one or two weeks later, we started with the program. It was really something I felt so so drawn to, and I actually didn't know when I signed up what I was really getting into, but it was like my heart speaking, it was my intuition, it was my self talking to me. So yeah, I'm so so grateful for that magnetic feeling and drawn to be like at the right time, at the right place.
SPEAKER_00What is so funny about that was that post I remember creating, and you know me, like I just hop on Instagram, I post and I get out and I like don't check it forever. And I came back that day and or the next day or whenever, and it went viral. Like it was literally everywhere. Like it was posting everywhere, people were resharing it, and it's one of those things that you just don't expect. I don't know, I just never go in and check it. And yeah, that was a week or two before we were launching Inner Wisdom level one, and we just had that discovery call. And I feel like we even just hit it off in that call where it was like so natural and calm, and it was a wild journey to just like have you join and you've been with us ever since. But you never like took intuition classes, right?
SPEAKER_01Like you never had before, no, never ever. Intuition before was like that gut feeling in a voice, like that feeling of a knowing that is a yes or a no. Like, I have to do that, but nothing more. And what blew my mind was like that it's really based in science because I am such an analytical person. You are, yeah. I love maths and all that stuff, so that was perfect for me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I feel like that was a big indicator for you. Like, holy crap, it can be both. So cool. Yeah. Ashley, what about you? You and I go way back. Yeah, we were on the black for a few years. Ashley has seen all the versions of me, all the colors of me.
SPEAKER_02Yes. But yeah, it's been a really incredible journey to witness and then now embark on my own journey kind of alongside of you. So it started with like the health and fitness world, and I've had a lot of different health symptoms, but most recently it started in 2019 when I had some scary symptoms come up. I went through the ringer with testing and surgery to remove some lymph nodes, and I just kept hitting roadblocks of not knowing like what was on, not getting any answers. And then I had, I remember seeing Maggie's post about how she was moving across the country and she was getting into something. We had a really big announcement, and I had thought like it was in relation to like Reiki, some energy work, because I had seen kind of where her journey was going.
SPEAKER_00Behind the scenes, just calculating my moves, like, what is this chick up to over here?
SPEAKER_02And when she announced that it was intuition, it was kind of the same thing like Katha. I knew like the gut feeling. I've always had like a strong instinct, a strong gut feeling, but I've always pushed that to the side, not really trusting myself and really like outsourcing my power to everybody else. And so, like Katha said, leaning into like the science behind what that gut feeling is, really diving into it and really learning that I have everything within me to move forward and I don't need to keep outsourcing. Yeah. So once I started the program, I like can't get enough of it. What's next? What's next? What's next?
SPEAKER_00You're like, where is intuition level four, Maggie?
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Well, I don't want level four. I want the healing program.
SPEAKER_00Excuse me.
SPEAKER_02Yes, I would love the healer program to come out yesterday. Because that's really where I feel led.
SPEAKER_00So definitely just another drop for you. Knock, knock, knock. So with you, we'll get to Chelsea's uh, of course, but with you guys saying this, a question that pops up for me that I know listeners are asking are if they're listening and they're going, I never had that like gut feeling like you guys are describing, but they're still drawn to intuition. Do you feel like that's like a roadblock for somebody that hasn't had like I've heard all of you guys be like, I knew I had something, this like gut feeling, this you know, little inkling. If somebody was like, Oh, I never had premonition or I never had that, would you guys still say they had intuition? For sure. Definitely. Everybody has it.
SPEAKER_03Everybody has it. Chelsea, what were you gonna say? I would have fallen into that category of thinking, like, I don't have that. I definitely didn't think I had anything special or had a calling, or I had tried so many things, and I had gone so many places that my confidence was so low in my ability to pick my next step or know what was best. And what really helped me like latch on was the first time you messaged me about I don't know, something really specific. I had never felt so seen, and I had done six courses, I had gone through holistic health and food and the nervous system, the mindset, but you were different, and it was like a full body stuff. Pay attention to this right now because you were so individualized where everything else was a course for everybody. Everybody needs to meditate, everybody needs to do this. This was no, I see you, I see your exact block, I see what you're struggling with, and I'm here to help you. And that was unlike any other program that I had I had gone through a lot, I had been all over the place.
SPEAKER_00You and I had such a similar journey with that of just like literally being everywhere and being all the things, yeah.
SPEAKER_03The food, the workouts, this. Why don't I feel like it's it? Yeah, and this was the first thing that I felt. Oh my gosh, I feel confident, I feel excited. And I had not felt that in a very long time.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I think you signed up for a free read, if I remember. Was it an audio I gave you or was it a text?
SPEAKER_03You know what? You reached out, I like liked something, not thinking totally. I think you were going to send a like a free information if you comment this word. Yeah, and you like specifically you messaged, which was the first, like, whoa, she's paying attention to me. And you said, I would like to do a read for you. And I had no idea what that meant. I was like, Oh reading, what do you mean? What did I like? What am I doing? But then as soon as I listened to it, I was like, Oh my gosh, this is so unlike anything I've ever heard, but I feel it, I feel the truth so deep that I can't ignore it, even though it's so different than what I'm used to.
SPEAKER_00Right, because you too, if I recall, you weren't into spirituality, were you?
SPEAKER_03Like you had no idea energy work, right? No, I mean everything that you came to us with in like the energetics and the spiritual. I mean, even I was like, wait, I've heard of third eye. What is it? I have no idea. Like, that's real. I was shocked. Like, I thought people were making that up.
SPEAKER_00Making that up. Oh my gosh, that is so funny. Yeah, it's crazy because that I think with it's not crazy because it makes sense of like attracting in similar, like-minded people. But my journey was similar to which I've talked about on the podcast of like, I didn't grow up with anything, like law of attraction, no idea, like had no stinking clue about any of it. And I think it's a really big testament to hearing something for the first time and having it resonate in the cells of your body and being like, I literally don't know what this is. I have no clue. I have no judgment for it besides the fact that, like you said, like full body chills, like full body resonance. And I think that speaks for itself because it speaks that it's not a contagious thought, right? It's not a contagion of being on social media and being like, oh, all these trendy things are happening, I better jump on that train. It's a what the heck is this? And my body feels this, which is so cool. So, so cool. Okay, so Katha, if you could describe what life was like before honing in on your intuition compared to where you are now after almost a full year, what would you say about that?
SPEAKER_01So it's definitely like Ashley said, before I was pretty much a person who was very open to everything, like everyone's opinions, because I thought, like, oh, she could be right, he could be right. I was always outsourcing and thinking like others know it better, and then putting it on me. And that is actually something that changed completely because I now know that everything is within me.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And I just have to look inside of me, and I got every answer that is perfect for me, my daughter, my family. And it's great to listen to other people, but I have my truth. Yes. And that's just so great to know I am in my power.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Absolutely. And I just will never forget your video you posted on school with the colors because I just was dying inside. So we'll link that up in the show notes. We'll put her business on. You guys can see her post she came up with literally the most beautiful video of parenting her daughter and how she really went inward on, you know, talking herself out of comparing her daughter and comparing her daughter to other friends, which we all do as moms, right? We're always kind of looking and scanning. And that's a very natural human behavior habit that we've had for, you know, generations upon generations, like back to the village mentality of, you know, wanting to be inside the village, inside the tribe. And so we'll link that up. She talks heavily about that in that story. And I just think that story was just insanely good. That was such a cool story. Thank you. And a testament to you going inward rather than outward, and not only like the awareness aspect of it of the stop. Oh my gosh, I'm comparing myself, I'm comparing my daughter to other friends, even in that scenario, just awareness is so incredible. And I don't think as mothers, we do that enough, you know, where we stop and we go, Whoa, are these other people's thoughts? Are these my own thoughts? And to witness you do that and go inward and then even crawl yourself out of those thoughts even further throughout the video was really special. Yeah. Ashley, what would you say? You've had just you've all had such incredible transformations. If you could describe what life was like before you trained your intuition versus where you are at now.
SPEAKER_02Outsourcing and trusting others was a significant part of my story. And realizing, like always thinking that somebody knew better than me. And that played a big part in my health journey. And now having a trained intuition, realizing that I have what it takes, I have all the answers. And if I don't, I have a village that is here to support me and help me and are willing to work alongside of me as opposed to feeding their information to me in a dominance way.
SPEAKER_00Which area of life do you feel like it impacted the most? Like health, you're saying, motherhood, like specific choices, daily choices, big choices?
SPEAKER_02I would say family has been a big thing for me because I always felt around my family I was never good enough. And so now being able to stick up for myself and say no to things that don't feel aligned, or standing up for myself if they say something that I don't agree with, or now being able to voice what I'm doing with the intuition programs, kind of my thoughts and feelings towards it, different things that I've learned has really just given me the confidence that I've lacked for my life.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Yeah. So it's really super life-giving. Yeah. And that confidence you can just see exude from your energy every day. Like it is just remarkable to see kind of where you started. And like I said, you and I have known each other for a while, you know, to see the transformation between that time is just so beautiful to witness.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, it's been incredible. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Yes. Chelsea, what would you say? Before, you know, taking these programs, just like the girls, I was constantly chasing answers, constantly trying to learn more information and trying to learn something that stuck and that felt like it was it, and it was a very lonely feeling, feeling like I would never figure it out, feeling like not only my own health things, but then I was seeing it in my kids, and that was a very scary, very fearful feeling. So then one of the biggest things that I cherish right now is this group and the you know, the family that we have built, and knowing that no matter what happens, and something terrible could happen in our family tomorrow, a tragedy, and I would have this group to come to and help me through it, and knowing that they see me and it wouldn't be a blanket answer. You guys could help me through anything that came, and that is such a comforting feeling to not feel so lonely and so scared and like this isn't it, I don't know where it is. Yeah, that has been so huge, and then I had another really Ashley said something that made me think and I lost it. That's okay.
SPEAKER_00I couldn't agree more, you know. This line of work is so vulnerable, you know. It's like you are with other individuals hashing out your shit. You know what I mean? Like you are talking about, you guys hear me all the time talk about the embarrassing stuff, the things that I've held tight to my chest until I've been able to work through it, family dynamics, like different neural pathways of feeling like I was stupid and feeling like I was unintelligent and how I've been able to crawl myself out of that. But I think this group is so special because when you are able to be with a group of women that are all taking their masks off, like you are taking your masks off, you are being vulnerable to people that are halfway across the world, you know, and you are going, my kid's dealing with this, I'm dealing with this, my husband. And when you have the right tools and the support, I think, and the space to be held in those moments, it is relationships and connections that you will literally have for life. And people search, I think, for life too, to have people that see them for who they really are, you know, like a sisterhood behind them that are like, I know her to her core, you know, I know her for everything she is. And I think even having that source-like view of like unconditional love for each person too, and knowing they may have a flaw here and a strength here, and just loving everybody for who they are, I think that is one of the most powerful things that have come from this program, like you said.
SPEAKER_03That sparked what I was going to say. Not only having people who see you, but also seeing yourself more clearly than you have in your entire life. I understand and see who I am as a person the most clearly that I ever have in my entire life, or just understanding why I am the way I am in the bigger picture, why I am here, why I'm going through the things that I'm going through, and then feeling empowered in that and being able to. I mean, at the end of the program, I thought it was gonna be a magic wand and I would know everything and I would be fixed, you know. And it's not that you're ever going to be perfect or fixed, but knowing that you have the power to work through it and always I kind of always have the next step, you know. I always know what I'm going to be working for and why I am working towards it. Having that why piece is so huge because it keeps you motivated to keep going and it gets you excited, like knowing what's out there and what you can become. That is really exciting and really fun.
SPEAKER_00Absolutely. And I think even too with how close the community is, it seems like from what I'm watching with the energy, you guys are like ping-ponging energy off of each other. You know, it's like what Chelsea's going through, Katha's just starting to go through, Ashley's already been through, and vice versa, you know, even widespread in the community, the things that we talk about, the webinars we do, the QA's, it's really beautiful to see the inner connection between all of you and how you guys all bring such different, beautiful gold nuggets to the table, you know, that just help one another. And like you said, no matter what happens, you know that you have people in your corner if you're too emotional, if life's too hard, if it feels too overwhelming. Like I just love that group chat we just had this weekend where it was like, our house is a shitshell. And everybody in the group chat is like, this is my kitchen table. Ashley was saying, this is my living room. Everybody's just being vulnerable and really lifting each other up, you know? And I think also vice versa, you guys aren't afraid to be like, hey, girl, that is your weakness right there. That's your limiting belief that you guys call each other out on your stuff, too, of like lovingly, you know, giving you a nudge of like, oh, that might be an energy leak. Like, let's look into it. It's just such a beautiful thing to witness and to be a part of. Because I think, like I just said, people search their whole lives for things like this that feel this close, you know, and be this vulnerable with.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. And I was gonna say that it's really cool to be a part of a women community where there is no comparison. It literally is your it is what it is. Let's do what we can. And with everybody at different levels, everybody has different skill sets, everybody has different like niches they're going into.
SPEAKER_00Seriously.
SPEAKER_02And everybody is there just to build each other up. So it's like once you find that, and once you're actually a part of a sisterhood like that, it's so hard to like push it away and not want to dive in more and be a part of it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, absolutely. I just love it. I love everybody. It's so cool to see how things unfold every single day in the chats and in school and even the QA's. It's like, it's so insane to see intuition continue to unravel for literally everyone. I feel like in the QA today, even Ashley was there. It was like she said something that inspired something I had a conversation with another person about yesterday. And it was like this huge thing that everyone was like, yeah, oh my gosh, same. And intuition just never fails to literally impress the crap out of me. Well, with that being said, Katha, tell us a cool intuition story that blew you away. Like if you had to think of one, which you have millions, probably. But what was like the icebreaker or the deal breaker, more like not an icebreaker, of you being like, oh my God, there's no way this could have been formulated. This isn't a coincidence. Like intuition is real. If there was ever a moment or an experience you had that was like, there's no way this is fake. Like this is so real. What would that be?
SPEAKER_01There are two coming into my mind. The first one was actually like when we just had class one, like in May, and you said we shall ask only very, very easy questions like, should I have a turkey sandwich now? But I was actually very brave and asked the question about if I should give my daughter a vaccination because it was time again. And my initial intuition form is imagination. And I had this like huge picture of a red fence and fire behind it, and it was like so 100% clear for me that it was a no, I shouldn't do it. And still I see this picture in my mind, and I'm so so grateful. And also like within week two, I was able to do that and to see it and like listen to my intuition, and I'm still so amazed by it that my higher self was speaking so clearly to me without like really knowing where I'm getting into it.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, it was early in the program. That is so cool. Yeah, and well, I just think of you too like you have such a strong imagination that you have been using your imagination intuition for all of your entire life. I think you just needed that step one. You needed structure to be like, how do I even activate it? You know, but yeah, your intuition and imagination intuition has been so strong from the get-go. That was so cool.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's just so great to like how fast I got back to it because I didn't really use it or like wasn't aware of it. It was so great, like how fast it got activated, you know, like I could use it, and that's just amazing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00So for those listening that are like, okay, she uses imagination, being this far and having completed level three, do you feel like you still use imagination often, or do you feel like you've advanced and like kind of prefer other forms of intuition that you have learned?
SPEAKER_01Right now I'm pretty much into percentages. Yeah. But I started stacking up different forms. So I'm seeing different things at the same time. I'm using percentages, then I'm seeing my ping pong ball imagination and also a green or red light sometimes. So it's like multiple stuff all at once. Does that feel overwhelming?
SPEAKER_00No, it's amazing. It's amazing. I love it. Yeah, totally. It really, like when you get back down to the science of it again, like you said, you were so drawn to, and I was so drawn to. It's so cool to get such accurate answers, which is how we've been able to teach people is by stacking forms and it's no longer this, oh, I think I felt this or my body swayed a certain way, or whatever. It is like so precise because you're able to use so many different forms on top of one another. And I think it's been cool to watch you add them as the levels have stacked, you know, because I think level one, that would have been overwhelming. But level two, you have been able to just blossom and keep pushing, you know, more on that it feels very natural. Totally. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Did you have another story or was that the one you wanted to share?
SPEAKER_01Um, actually, just like two weeks ago, I went to a concert and we booked only two weeks before. So my sister and I didn't got seats right next to each other. And I used my intuition, and she said the people who are supposed to sit right next to me are not gonna come. And like the stadium was full with people. There was no free seat, but uh three seats right next to me were free. So my sister and I got to sit together and we had four seats, like had space to dance, and like we had the greatest time. And actually, at the beginning, my sister wanted to go to the concert, and I wasn't sure because like dark forces and all that stuff, but intuition told me I should go there because I'm gonna have fun and a great time, and it was like just perfect. Really, I was so amazed by it because my brain at first thought, like, oh, is it gonna be good? Is it gonna be okay? Yeah, but it was just so so great to have this clarity of what I should do and that it's gonna be amazing, and it just came out perfect. Oh my gosh, that is so beautiful.
SPEAKER_00That is such a win, not only that you like over your human selves, like, oh my gosh, I'm nervous, you know, and were able to like get there, but that you were able to see that nobody was gonna sit next to you. Yeah, that was amazing. Oh, that sounds amazing. I'm all up for a good concert. I remember too, refresh my memory. I feel like in level one, you were asking questions about going to a swimming pool and it kept saying no, no, no. And then didn't you get there and it was closed for the day? Isn't that true? Wasn't that the story? Like you were like, why is it saying no? And then it was like all locked up. That was like brand new. That was like you were real, real beginner at level one, I feel like.
SPEAKER_01So that's when you know it just works.
SPEAKER_00Like intuition is never ever wrong. It's just hilarious, isn't it? It's almost like comical, and you learn over time, you're like, I can't not listen to her. Like, she is such a good track record. I just can't live my life without her. Oh, that's so funny. I don't know why that swimming pool one just popped into my head. That's it. This is the one I thought Katha would share too, because I loved that one.
SPEAKER_03That was one of our first big wins that we shared. And I still think about that. Like, oh, I love there's how funny it can be when you go, oh, yeah, that was why. Or like around that same time, I asked, like, should I go for a walk? And it said, I got no. That why would she tell me no? I'm gonna go anyway. And it started raining. Yeah, it's like raining on you. It's so funny when you get those answers and you're like, Okay, you're looking out for me.
SPEAKER_00I get it. Okay, I'm listening. Oh, it is so funny. It's so comical. Like the language is so hilarious when you learn, you know, the two-way dialogue. It really is. It's just funny. It's funnier than I'll get out. Oh my gosh. Ashley, what would be your story?
SPEAKER_02I think the biggest thing for me is percentages and clacking consciousness has been a big thing for me because I would get so frustrated when I'm trying to explain something and people are not listening, they just don't get it. And so that was one of the big skill sets for me that I've really put into play a lot, especially with my family, that none of them understand it. My sister had a really scary experience with somebody that claimed to be a psychic at her high school all-night party and gave her like this horror story about how she was gonna die and all this stuff. My family really like turned their back on it. I never really paid attention to the story, but I've more so the last, I don't know, seven or eight years, I've really gotten into the more spiritual world. And when I heard about intuition and what it was, and then learning the science behind it and the accuracy and the percentages and the consciousness of people and where they're pulling their energy from and stuff like that was really a big thing for me. So I think that's been like my biggest takeaway is just like clocking people's consciousness and realizing like who is into the information, who really doesn't understand it, and allowing that to just be what it is and not get frustrated about it. They don't understand.
SPEAKER_00And it's okay. All right, we have so much more to talk about, but we are going to stop here so that we can continue on next week and you can hear the second half of this conversation. So we are excited to continue on. There's a lot of really good, juicy stuff we're gonna get into next week. Be sure to join our email list, be sure to hop into our webinars, be sure to hop into our live QA's. We have been having so much fun. All right, you guys, hope you're having a wonderful week, and we will see you next week for part two.
