I’m curious if you relate with this: You know there’s this *thing* inside of you that sometimes churns when you’re standing next to someone who drains your energy, or lights up when you see Christmas lights for the first time all year because it reminds you of when you were a little kid, and you’re wondering what the heck it is?
Same. I always knew I had something inside of me that was guiding the way, I just had no idea what the heck it was - until I ignored it one time.
Rewind to when I was 20 years old. It was summertime and I was visiting my then-boyfriend. I lived with my parents, he lived with his and distance-wise we were about an hour away from each other. He was walking me out to my car that morning so I could head back home and I noticed my tire was flat.
This *thing* inside of me told me to call my parents for a ride and tow the car because the tire needed to be changed. He told me it was fine and that all it needed was air at the gas station.
I listened to him.
Less than 30 minutes later I was spinning around I-95, almost flipped my car, and was less than a foot away from flying into oncoming traffic because the tire exploded.
I quickly learned that the *thing* that was telling me not to drive was my intuition (also referred to as your gut). This kickstarted a 10+ year journey of healing my relationship with myself and learning to trust my intuition.
Since then, I’ve been on a journey of alignment and allowing my intuition to guide my life and business. Now I’m going to teach you how to do the same.
Your intuition is the main communication channel your highest self uses to guide you to your path of least resistance. Your highest self knows what your soul's purpose is and it knows everything you’re trying to manifest and have already manifested. It’s constantly trying to guide to those goals in the least disruptive way possible.
Your intuition is also one of the main things I connect to when I do channeling sessions with clients. It’s an incredibly powerful guidance tool.
I know this term is a big ole buzz word right now, and there’s a good reason why.
Being in alignment means that you are aligned with your soul's purpose and who you truly are on a soul level. When you’re in a state of alignment, you’ll notice how easily things happen for you. The clients come hassle-free, the opportunities flood into your inbox, your video goes viral.
The tricky part is making sure your ego doesn’t get in the way of you staying in alignment.
As a channeler I can see what someone's soul's purpose is, who they are down at a soul level, and anything they’ve picked up in their human experience that’s hindering their alignment.
When it comes to life and business, I’ve learned that it really is 95% energetics and 5% strategy. The hard entrepreneurial work is the emotional journey and healing anything that’s standing in the way of you stepping into your full power.
Great question. It comes down to three main things:
Right now, you may feel like you are doing ALL the right things and yet your efforts aren't creating more money for your business. Today that changes! Our free 90-day profit planner has helped hundreds of creative entrepreneurs transform their income goals into an actualization strategy since 2019.
When you fully trust yourself, you fully trust your intuition - which means when you get an intuitive nudge (think back to my car story where my gut told me not to drive), you follow it without hesitation.
Instead, SO many of us have bruised relationships with ourselves because of the way we were raised, our relationships, our teachers, our parents, etc. and we’re taught to trust others over ourselves.
It can be as simple as your body telling you that you’re full as a kid and your mom making you finish your plate. In that moment, you were taught to not listen to your physical cues and instead please someone else.
One of my favorite quotes from my friend Katie Parent who is a medium and a licensed therapist is, “What happened to you is not your fault AND healing is your responsibility.” I couldn’t agree more.
The moment you choose to come back home to yourself and release everything that’s standing in the way, you commit to a state of alignment. Beautiful things manifest when you’re in alignment.
So, how exactly do you begin your healing and releasing journey?
There are so many different ways, and the most important is finding the way that works for YOU. Here are some suggestions:
The receiving mode is going to be your best friend when you’re ready to kickstart your alignment and intuitive journey.
What is the receiving mode? It’s a non-resistant state you get yourself into where you can clearly receive the messages and downloads that your higher self is sending to you via your intuition.
Most people choose to do this through meditation but that’s certainly not the only way; and honestly, you may not be ready for meditation depending on where you’re at in your healing journey. Movement, nature, focusing on something you enjoy are other great ways to get into the receiving mode.
Don’t force this part too much - you’ll know when you’re in the receiving mode because you’ll feel light, your mind won’t be running a mile a minute, and you’ll get clear guidance on what to do.
It may take some time and healing to work your way up to the receiving mode. Surrender to it.
When your intuition sends you a nudge, it’s super important that you act on it for two reasons:
Fair warning, some of the intuitive nudges you’re going to get are going to sound wild.
For example, one Monday morning I was doing the dishes at 10 am and got this really clear nudge to take a nap. My ego was like, “What? A nap at 10 am on a Monday? I need to get to work.” The healed part of myself said, “Weird, but let’s do it.” As I was waking up from that nap, I got a nudge to check my phone. I had two inquiries from people who just happened to follow me on Instagram and both paid in full within 24 hours. My jaw was on the floor.
Commit to not letting your ego win. You’re not going to know how it’s all going to unfold for you, and that’s the fun of the journey.
It’s surrendering and going and knowing that everything is already done for you, and trusting yourself enough to be in alignment and take action.
I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
