Welcome to Own Your Intuition, a podcast for the sensitives, intuitives, and deeply feeling ones. Hi, I'm Kelly Rich. I'm an intuitive, CRS, teacher, business midwife, and designer of soul-centered spaces. This is a place to slow down, reconnect to your own truth, and remember what really matters. Through honest conversations and personal storytelling, we explore what it means to live a soulful, multidimensional life, one rooted in inner guidance, devotion, and depth. You don't need to be perfect here. You don't need to perform. You just get to be real, wild, free, fully, unapologetically you. Let's begin. Hi, this week I want to gently return back into this space with you and it's been over a year since I've sat down and talked to you and shared on here and I needed to take some time to move through my life without sharing and without focusing on putting my energy here. I needed to put my energy in other places and It's felt really good to take a break. I spent four years consistently showing up here and I've felt myself shifting and changing and shedding and evolving in pretty uncomfortable, very uncomfortable ways. And in a lot of, some would say in a lot of ways, I still am changing and figuring out who I am now and what I want to talk about now. And I think for a while I was feeling like what else can be said on the topic of intuition. And I've been teaching and sharing and guiding along this path of owning your intuition since 2019. And every year I've taught the Own Your Intuition course and Last year I really felt, it was really around this same time last year when the podcast paused, I decided that I was going to stop teaching the Own Your Intuition course in a live format and spent... many moons reorganizing all of my writing and my teachings transmissions rituals practices everything that lives in the course and making it an on-demand course for you and lowering the price so that it was more accessible for you as well and this is all in service to my heart and what I've been feeling and it was a very scary thing to feel that calling of like okay let the work of Own Your Intuition be. Let the course be for people. Let it really land in this way and pause on the podcast. As I was also feeling here, you know, yeah, what else is there to say? And if you want more, the Own Your Intuition course is there. But I think we can only talk about owning our intuition so much. I think really what I'm wanting and feeling is from the return, the return, the rebirth of this podcast is to embody owning your intuition, to embody this path, to embody this work. And I think we've talked about it enough, but sure. Yeah. Maybe there are going to be some episodes in the future where I am going to be revisiting old topics in new ways or putting it under a different light. But for me, this return feels like a reclamation. It doesn't feel like a comeback. This isn't a comeback. It feels like a homecoming to myself, a return to the wild, my inner wilderness, and really letting myself be free. I think intuition, I kind of put me in a box or I felt like I was in a box for a while. And you know, if you're an intuitive or a serious, like how I identify, I think it can be really easy for other people to put you in a box or to put yourself in a box. And I was starting to feel like I'm so much more than just this one aspect of of my life or even my work. And this podcast has always been a sacred space to me. But now it feels like something new, maybe not new, maybe just truer, a reflection of who I am and what I want to talk about. And, you know, I needed to take a pause because I, like I said, I felt myself shedding and I needed to descend. The act of speaking is inherently an up and out energy and I was feeling called to going down and in. I really needed to walk my talk even though I was really afraid. What's going to happen to the community? People rely on this and they're expecting this and it's a way that I connect with new clients and friends and collaborations and yeah, there was a lot of fear but I knew that I needed I felt the calling even though it didn't really make sense. And now I want to speak from where I am and not where I or anyone else thinks I should be. Not where I think will make you like me. You know, not from that place. Not from the place of like, oh, will people buy from me or understand me or come on retreat with me. I've returned to the mic as the embodiment of my medicine, not just the messenger of it. And I think for a while, especially when I was first finding my voice and my feet here, I really did feel like a messenger. And that was the alignment of the time. But now I know I'm a messenger of my medicine, but I want to embody it in a different way here. I wanna share more of my interests that go beyond teaching you about past lives. If you wanna learn more the steps of owning your intuition and go through the modules and the nitty gritty. I have it all laid out for you in the Own Your Intuition course. But here, I want to be a little bit more unfiltered. I want to talk about fashion and business and my life and what's going on. I want to talk about what's sparking my passion. interest at any given moment in time. I want to talk about what's going on in the world or I don't want to talk about what's going on in the world. I want to have more freedom here. And the four years I spent here were really powerful. They helped me find my voice in a new way and root into my truth. And I moved through some really hairy, holy healings. I'm proud of that version of me. I showed up with my wisdom and my heart and a clear calling to share. I've met hundreds of you for soul readings and inside the Own Your Intuition course. Some of you have even traveled from other countries to be on retreat with me. I'm so grateful for you. I'm so grateful for this community and I'm really honored to continue walking beside you. and witnessing you, witnessing one another and our own evolution. And I think the woman who created this podcast, the woman meaning me, the earlier version of me that shared this earlier work in the first years of the Own Your Intuition podcast, she was really shaped by wanting to be understood more than fully expressing herself. And that's what felt safe at the time. And there were times where I shared from a place of wanting to be helpful. Not that I don't want to be helpful. Of course I want to be helpful. But I think there were times where I put that ahead of talking about things I really wanted to talk about out of fear of being misunderstood. And I did start to feel like I was in a box. And the truth is, talking about owning your intuition in the ways I was talking about it, again, was aligned for me at that time. But then I started to feel a shift. Something wanted to change. My multidimensionality wanted to be explored and freed. I have... Every single year of my life since I was five years old, I've been in school in some way, shape or another. And even after undergrad, after the post-bac pre-med I went into, and then into yoga and shamanism and studying to be a priestess, all of these trainings that I've done, I've been feeling over the last year or two that it's time to integrate more instead of learning more and acquiring more in this corner or this facet of my life. And that how I wanted to invest in my own education is through travel and through the fiber arts and creativity and reading different material and putting myself in different spaces and places that really nurture me in a different way than the ways I've been doing, I guess is what I'm trying to say. It's like, instead of allocating funds to acquiring another certification that helps me to be a better space holder or healer or intuitive or serious, I felt my soul asking me to accept how far I've come, to accept the work I've put in, the dedication that I have really been fierce. My dedication and my commitment to this path has been fierce. And I was being asked to soften and to trust. And it's not to say that I won't continue to on studying more along the priestess arts or doing another apprenticeship or whatnot, but I feel like learning can come from so many different ways and from the deepest part of me I am a student of life I love learning and my husband all the time we have a running joke that I ask so many damn questions and I do I'm like the question person and sometimes I catch myself like okay I just asked six questions in a row okay I gotta let's let's like take the answers that I've got and like can they be enough for a moment and can what I What I've learned so far be enough. Can I integrate? Can I quench the thirst that I have in other areas of my life? And, you know, my multidimensionality wanted to be free. It's a long way of saying that. And I can see how I got in my own way and how the cords of perfectionism really wrapped around my throat from time to time. And I'm not reviving the Own Your Intuition podcast from the same soil. It feels... again, like a reclamation of some sort. And I'm letting this space become something wilder and truer and more devotional to my soul, that it's not just about you. And I think I created this, yes, for you and for me, but I think there were times where I put you, the audience, ahead of myself. But I feel like for this to be The space I'm really envisioning to reflect who I am now, this space has to be just as much for me as it is for you. And it's not a place for polished performances or teachings where everything needs to be perfect and edited perfect. I'm, you know, watching my mom's dog and the dog barks like, what if we just left the bark in? What if whatever's happening here in the space just gets to live here and be here? And if I make a mistake when I'm speaking and I say the wrong word, like, what if we don't edit it out? What if I just keep going? What if it's not so polished? You know, what if it's a reflection of the truth of who I am in this moment? These are the questions that I've been sitting with. And I feel like I want to use this space to just express myself and express my interests. And hopefully they, you know, you feel less alone and you feel connected to what I'm talking about. And if not, then I know there will be other people that will. And even as I say this, I can feel my brain and maybe yours too. And start to create a new expectation of how all this is going to go, how this should all be. But this time, this is just as much for me as it is for you. And I wanna make a promise to myself that I will not abandon myself in service to this offering. And I'm open to learning from this promise as often as needed. Even as I make this promise, I don't want to have it be another way that perfectionism can kind of come in and, you know, rule the coop. I want it to be just that. Okay, I'm making this promise and if I fuck up, then okay, I begin again. Something about me that has been difficult for others to digest is the ways I say what needs to be said and not what sounds good or comfortable. I can be blunt. I can be very raw and honest and a straight shooter. And I spent a lot of my earlier years trying to suppress these parts of me. I tried to keep the boat steady, you know, no rocking allowed. But I love that part of me now. Soul readings and this podcast and a lot of other places of my work where I've channeled my energy have have been these safe havens for me to learn to love this part of me. And I think I have to give a lot of credit to my clients in Soul Readings because that is a place where I really get to share whatever I'm feeling and seeing for them. And it can be, you know, there's no fluff included and it can be a I don't want to say shocking, but it can be an experience that is very different from the norms, I think, of life where we tend to not say exactly what we're feeling or seeing or sensing at any given moment. It's like we almost filter it through the river within us that is the societal norm river, you could say. But In these spaces, I get to really express the raw, honest Kelly. This is what I feel. This is what I sense. This is what I see. This is what I want. This is what I want for you, if it's okay for me to share that with you. You know, in this part of us that can be very raw and honest and blunt, what if there's What if they've always been there, even though maybe you did try to suppress these parts at some point in your life? And for me, I realized that that suppressed pattern was just trying to keep me safe. But as I walk the never-ending path of learning to feel safe in my body and in my mind, accepting who I am as I am, I'm learning that it's time for me to be wild. It's time for me to be free. And I know that a part of my mission here, not just on this podcast, but in the world is to help you rewild. It's to help you reclaim your essence. It's to help you live a life you love to be free. And I know that how I succeed in my mission is by rewilding myself, reclaiming my essence, living a life I love and freeing myself. Because if I don't do this work too, then it's all a bunch of bullshit because it's all talk. I know what it's like to... crave the feeling of being free. I have felt very trapped at earlier points in my life. I felt trapped in my body. I felt trapped in circumstances. And I learned to trap my voice down, down, down until I really needed to get free. And what I really needed was a safe space. I needed a safe space for someone to say, you don't need to be good. You don't need to be quiet. You don't need to be complacent or perfect or small. You get to be you. You get to be you, exquisitely you, just as you are. You get to be the fire that you are. You get to discover who you are. Go on, go ahead, go be yourself. You are so wildly capable of freeing yourself. You're wild. You've always been wild. Be wild. And I will love you no matter what. And the return of me to this microphone feels like a walking embodiment of becoming that person I needed growing up. And then I get to be me now. I get to discover me now. And that this gets to be a place that I do that. And what a beautiful gift that is. There were so many times in my life where I felt anything but free. And like I said, it was quite literally trapped. And I've come to... somewhat painfully see these wounds as some of my gifts and that they are places of power. They help me to hold space for you to free yourself because it's hard to understand what it feels like to be free when you've always been free. But it's when freedom has been taken and suppressed or is at risk of dismantling or being dismantled, that's when its value really reveals itself. And in the descent inward, into your pain, into the ache, into the wound, that's where the magic happens. That's where the magic happens. That's where the opportunity is. That's where transformation begins. And this podcast, this return, this rebirth, feels like a facet of my own treasure of rewilding, of freeing myself again and again and again. And I'm not always going to get it right. It's not how it works, but I am in the conversation. And that famous saying, I can't remember, was it Brene Brown, something with the arena? I am in the arena. I feel myself in the arena. Not just because I'm back, but because I have an actual calling to be back and I decided to follow it. And I'm so happy I get to share this with you right here on the Own Your Intuition podcast. This space feels like the place I come to be real, just to chat and share, maybe teach, explore, have conversations, to speak about what I want to talk about and to the parts of you that are rewilding and remembering and aching for freedom. The podcast isn't perfect, but I promise it will be real. And it's true and it's raw and it's messy and it's mine. It's ours. So if you're looking for perfection, I really hope you don't find it here. I've held a funeral for perfection and I'm rebirthing my wild. And just because I've laid her to rest, just because perfection has been set down, doesn't mean she won't try to resurrect herself. I'm aware. Because she probably will. But I know freedom is found in being fully expressed, not fully approved of. This is my second calling, you could say. And that the path of owning my intuition has been my midwife. I can't quite see where I'm going yet, but I trust. I trust in the call to arrive here with you. I trust again and again and again. I try to trust. And I walk away from the old version of myself and I rebirth myself over and over and over again. You, my love, are not crazy. You are rewilding yourself. You're remembering. It's time to remember. If you're here, if you're listening, it's time to return and reclaim you. Return to you. Reclaim your essence. It's time to free yourself and share your magic all the time, everywhere, with everyone. This next chapter of Own Your Intuition feels like a living fire. And I'm ready. I'm ready to tend it well. Until next time, stay wild.
