012 - From the Neck Down: Learning to Trust Your Intuition

In leadership — and in life — we’re taught to rely on logic. To analyze. To plan. To make the “right” move.But there’s another kind of intelligence that doesn’t come from your résumé or your head. It comes from the neck down.This week I talk about intuition. How to recognize it, practice listening to it, and distinguish it from fear or impostor syndrome.The inspiration came after my presentation for the Chicana Latina Foundation’s Semillas Leadership Program, a powerful community of comadres who are growing, leading, and lifting as they climb.In this episode, I share:🌿 How the universe sent me three signs and some tequila that led me to my graduate program🌿 The difference between gut knowing, fear, and intuition — and how to tell them apart🌿 What happens when we override our inner knowing out of fear (hello, Sunday scaries)🌿 Simple ways to reconnect with your body’s wisdom through nervous system regulationBecause your intuition isn’t a mystery — it’s a skill.Learning to trust yourself might just be the most important leadership work you’ll ever do.And if you’re a Chicana or Latina student, I can’t recommend the Chicana Latina Foundation enough.Applications for their 2026 Scholarship Program open this January: chicanalatina.org🎧 Subscribe and share with anyone who needs this.💬 Connect with me on IG @_colibricoaching and let me know what lands for you.Thanks for listening.
