Intuition Isn’t Woo-Woo, it’s Your Birthright

Some people think intuition is only for psychics or the “spiritually gifted.” But intuition isn’t some rare talent, it’s something we’re all born with. It’s that gut feeling you get when something feels off. It’s the nudge to call someone right before they need you. It’s the knowing you can’t explain, but you feel it in your bones.

The problem is, we’ve been conditioned to doubt it. To value logic, proof, and external validation over our own inner knowing. But what if the wisdom we’ve been searching for has been sitting quietly inside us this whole time?

Stop Giving Your Power Away

This one is important. In the spiritual world, it’s so easy to hand over our power to healers, guides, and teachers, thinking they’ll have the answers — we don’t. And while support can be beautiful, the danger is believing someone else can “fix” us.

Here’s the truth: no one knows what’s right for you more than you do. Healers and teachers can walk beside you, reflect things back, or offer tools but they are not your authority. Your discernment is. Sometimes we don’t actually need the next workshop, session, or shiny new tool. Sometimes what we need most is to tune back into ourselves.

The Benefits of Trusting Yourself

Here’s where it gets exciting. When you start developing your intuition, everything shifts. For me, decision-making became easier. I stopped second-guessing myself and learned to move with more flow. I found a deeper connection to my creativity, started thinking outside the box, and most importantly, began trusting myself again.

That’s the beauty of intuition — it doesn’t just help with “spiritual” choices. It ripples into every part of your life. Work, relationships, health, creativity — when you trust your gut, you free yourself from the endless loop of overthinking and outsourcing guidance. You stop waiting for someone else to tell you what to do, and start living from your own inner authority.

Learning to Listen

So how do you actually do it? It starts small. Pausing long enough to notice what your body feels when you’re making a choice. Paying attention to those little nudges instead of brushing them off. Trusting that first instinct before your mind talks you out of it.

Like any muscle, intuition gets stronger the more you use it. And yes, sometimes you’ll get it “wrong.” But even then, you’re learning how your inner voice speaks to you. The more you practice, the more natural it becomes.

My Takeaway

Your intuition isn’t some far-off mystical thing. It’s here, right now, waiting for you to remember it. And the more you lean into it, the less you’ll feel like you need fixing. Because you’ll realize you already carry the wisdom you’ve been looking for.

Trust yourself. You’ve got this.

If you’re ready to start tuning into your intuition, try these prompts:

1. Where in my life am I giving my power away by looking for answers outside of myself?

2. When was the last time I trusted my gut — and what happened?

3. How does my intuition speak to me (a feeling, a thought, a knowing)?

4. What would change if I trusted it more often?

Take your time with these. Write, draw, or even record yourself speaking them out loud. Sometimes your intuition speaks clearest when you give it a little room to breathe.
