What if the reason intuition advice has never worked for you is because it wasn’t designed for your brain?

In this episode, Sarah explores the powerful intersection of intuition and neurodivergence — and why so much mainstream spiritual guidance can feel confusing, inaccessible, or even shaming for people with different nervous systems.

Sarah also shares more about her Intuition Series (Secret Studies), a grounded, trauma-aware, neurodivergence-inclusive approach to developing intuitive skills in a way that feels safe, sustainable, and empowering.

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • The difference between top-down and bottom-up processing
  • Why many neurodivergent people experience delayed processing
  • How intuition can show up as anger, intensity, or expansion — not just peace
  • The myth that you must act on intuition immediately
  • Why protector parts can override intuitive hits
  • Capacity, impulsivity, dopamine, and energy miscalculation (especially for ADHD folks)
  • How to take more time and build trust with yourself
  • Take a breath. Slow down. Your intuition doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be real.

    If Intuition Advice Has Never Worked for You & You Are Neurodivergent, Read This

    What if the reason intuition advice has never worked for you is because it wasn’t designed for your brain?

    Maybe you’ve tried to “just listen to your inner voice,” but you don’t hear one. There is nothing wrong with you.

    Most mainstream intuition advice is built for linear, top-down processors. It rarely accounts for the way neurodivergence shapes perception, processing, timing, energy, or pattern recognition.

    In this episode of Moonbeaming, (link) I explore intuition through the lens of neurodivergence and nervous system awareness — and why cookie-cutter spiritual advice often misses the people who need nuance the most.

    This episode we explore:

    • The difference between top-down and bottom-up processing
    • Why many neurodivergent people experience delayed processing
    • How intuition can show up as anger, intensity, or expansion — not just peace
    • The myth that you must act on intuition immediately
    • Why protector parts can override intuitive hits
    • Capacity, impulsivity, dopamine, and energy miscalculation (especially for ADHD folks)
    • How to take more time and build trust with yourself
    • If this resonates, this is also the final call to join Secret Studies: The Intuition Series. (link)

      This is my grounded, somatics-informed, depth-psychology-rooted container for developing intuitive skill in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

      And remember, there is literally nothing wrong with you. Your intuition isn’t broken — it’s just not linear.

      If you can put in a button to the course, do so here.
