Day 93: Learning to Trust Your Intuition Again

Most women don’t know how to listen to their intuition.

Not because it isn’t there.

But because they’ve been taught to ignore it.

Or override it.

Or question it.

From a young age, we’re guided to be practical.

To make the “right” decision.

To think things through.

To consider what makes sense.

And while all of that has its place, it often comes at the expense of something quieter.

Something deeper.

Your intuition.

And the truth is, your intuition doesn’t always sound logical.

It doesn’t always feel comfortable.

In fact, a lot of the time, it asks you to do something that feels completely counterintuitive.

Something that stretches you.

Something that takes you outside of what you know.

And because of that, it’s easy to dismiss.

To second guess.

To talk yourself out of it.

But here’s the part most people don’t realize:

You learn to hear your intuition by acting on it.

Even in small ways.

Even when it doesn’t fully make sense yet.

Because the more you listen, the clearer it becomes.

And the more you override it, the quieter it gets.

I believe your intuition, your gut, is there to guide you.

Not perfectly.

But honestly.

And if you look back, you can probably see moments where it was there and you didn’t follow it.

And you felt that.

Not as failure.

But as a quiet knowing.

A sense of, “I knew.”

I’ve had that in my own life.

And I’ve also had the experience of listening.

Like when something in me told me to leave the small village on the ocean I had called home for almost a decade… and move to a city in the desert.

That was the last thing I wanted to do.

It didn’t make sense.

It wasn’t comfortable.

But I trusted it.

And it led me into the most expansive and fulfilling chapter of my life.

Or when my intuition told me that the cancer diagnosis wasn’t a death sentence.

It was a wake-up call.

A moment to listen more deeply.

To change the direction of my life, even though from the outside, everything already looked good.

That’s what intuition does.

It doesn’t always guide you toward what feels easy.

It guides you toward what is true.

And learning to hear it isn’t about getting it right every time.

It’s about being willing to listen.

To pause.

To notice.

And then to trust yourself enough to follow it, even just a little.

Take a quiet moment today.

Think of a small decision in front of you.

Nothing big.

Just something simple.

Pause.

Take a breath.

And ask yourself:

“What feels true here?”

Notice what comes up first.

Before your mind starts to explain it.

You don’t have to act on it right away.

Just begin by noticing.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear if there’s a moment when you felt your intuition… and what you did with it.

With you,
