Episode Description

If you feel like your intuition is confusing, inconsistent, or just not as clear as it “should” be… this episode is for you.

Because most of the time, it’s not actually an intuition problem.

It’s a self-trust problem.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why we second guess ourselves, how we override our own inner knowing, and what’s really happening when your intuition starts to feel “off.”

I also share real-life examples of how this shows up (not just in spiritual work, but in everyday moments), and give you grounded tools to start rebuilding trust with yourself in a way that actually works.

We talk about:

How we gaslight ourselves out of our own intuition
Why comparison quietly destroys your trust
What happens when you override your internal signals
The “kink in the hose” effect (and how to clear it)
Why grounding and nervous system regulation matter
How to start trusting yourself—even if you might be wrong
The role of mentors and aligned community in building confidence

Your intuition isn’t gone.

It’s just being disrupted.

The work is learning how to come back to yourself.
