For our first Hot Topic episode of 2024, we wanted to shake things up a bit! We often bring on therapists to discuss matters of the mind, but since so many of us struggle with overthinking and analysis paralysis, Sharleen felt it was time for a different conversation. What if we weren't haunted by the choices not chosen, the pros and cons lists, the indecision that keeps us from feeling truly confident in our decisions? What if, instead of attempting to "logic" our way through life, we listened to—gasp!—our *intuition*?

Our guest today is Natalie Miles, acclaimed channel, psychic medium, writer and author of the best selling book “You Are Intuitive. Trust Your Truth. Take Back Your Power.” But whether or not you believe in psychic abilities, this conversation is still for you. Natalie is not here to change your beliefs, but rather to help you tap into your OWN intuitive gifts, the "higher power energy" inside you that is there to guide you towards your truest self and most fulfilled life.

Today, with Natalie's help, we discuss intuition vs instinct, intuition vs hopes/goals, and how to distinguish between intuition and anxious thoughts. She gives us tips on getting out of our head and into our body, explains why Google isn't your friend, and inspires you to notice the part of yourself so many of us have lost touch with. That's right, Shandies, today we're going a bit woo-woo (or as Andy puts it, wee-woo), and we hope you're as inspired by this conversation as we were!
