This episode is for you if life feels loud, busy, or emotionally intense—whether it's the holidays, Mercury Retrograde, or just “a lot all at once.”

I’m talking about how to access and trust your intuition when your nervous system is activated and your energetic boundaries feel thin. Instead of spiraling into self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or “maybe I should just quit,” I’ll help you reconnect to the inner knowing that’s always been there.

You’ll be guided through a simple grounding practice, learn why your intuition can feel harder to hear in chaotic seasons, and discover one of the most common intuitive gifts (that you probably already have): claircognizance—clear knowing.

You’ll walk away with practical tools you can use right away, including a tiny pause practice, a hydration ritual for energetic protection, and a fresh way to understand your intuitive language.
