Have you ever had a gut feeling about something—one that felt so clear and certain—but you second-guessed it? Maybe you talked yourself out of it. Maybe you let fear or logic take over. Maybe you ignored it altogether… only to realize later that your intuition was right all along.

This week on She Speaks, I sat down with my friend, Dr. Isabel Meijering, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, life coach, and soul sister, to talk about how our biggest struggles often point us toward our true path—if we’re willing to listen.

We’re diving into:

✔ Why burnout drowns out your intuition (and how to clear the noise so you can hear it again)
✔ The unexpected link between nervous system regulation and trusting yourself
✔ How to recognize the difference between fear-based thinking and true inner knowing

💡 Listen in as we explore:
✔️ [07:45] Why we often ignore our intuition (and how to tune back in)
✔️ [12:30] How Isabel made a life-changing decision based on a gut feeling—and never looked back
✔️ [20:15] The connection between nervous system healing and intuition (and why burnout blocks clarity)
✔️ [30:40] How to tell the difference between fear-based thinking and intuitive knowing
✔️ [42:50] Practical ways to strengthen your intuition & start trusting yourself

If you’ve ever questioned your path or felt stuck in the “what now?” phase of life, this episode is for you.
