Ep. 026- Part 2 of solo episode with host, Stefani McCullah on the topic of intuition, how it was the catalyst for deepening her connection to God and the self-trust and confidence that grew as a result of her becoming aware of the many ways she was being divinely guided throughout her life. In this episode, she elaborates on the common misconceptions about intuition, how we often outsource our inner wisdom and the practices and habits Stefani implements in her own life to foster a stronger connection to herself and God's voice. Its through these practices that she has learned the power of surrender when life feels uncertain and out of control, trusting that God's plan and timing are sovereign.

I'm Erin Gilmore. I’m a San Francisco-based teacher with a unique modern style, a love for nonviolent communication, and a specialty in trauma-informed yoga. My teaching method is mixed modality. I take a little from Pilates, dance, barre, and strength training. The vibe is freedom. Feel free to do what you want and ignore what you don't. My ultimate hope is that we remember what's important and what's not and have fun while moving together.
