Step 3: Connect to your Intuition

What is intuition?

Your inner guidance system — the part of you that knows what’s right without needing to justify it.

Signs you need this step

You’re making decisions from fear, logic, or other people’s opinions — and still feel confused, anxious, or stuck.

How I can support you:

Are you stuck between what you want to do and what you’re supposed to do?

You’ve been trained to prioritize the path with the most guarantees -even when it makes you feel a little bit dead inside. So you silence the ideas that actually light you up because they don’t feel practical.

You keep choosing what makes sense... while quietly wondering what would happen if you followed your heart.

In this post you’ll learn:

  • How to stop defaulting to the “safe” path- and start choosing the one that actually feels right

  • Who is actually qualified to help you choose your direction

  • What you need in place to feel grounded- even when the future is uncertain.

What Does It Mean to “Connect to Your Intuition”?

Connecting to your intuition is when you stop outsourcing your clarity- and start looking within yourself for the answers.

You have an inner guidance system. A still small voice inside of you. A gut knowing.

A part of you that’s connected to something deeper or bigger (you might call it the universe, your higher self, God, Spirit, etc.).
That part of you knows your path and is always trying to communicate to you.
The problem is, your intuition isn’t loud.

It’s a calm quiet voice that can get easily tuned out by all the noise of the outside world.

But when you learn how to connect to your intuition, decisions feel calm, grounded, and clear- even if they don’t make sense to anyone else.

Why This Step Matters

If you’re not connected to your intuition…
you’re making life decisions from your mind.
Which means: from fear, from logic, from pressure, from confusion.

You’ll default to:

  • Choosing the safest option (even if it feels wrong)

  • Trying to predict and plan every possible outcome

  • Looking to others to validate your decisions

And that’s how you end up stuck.
Doing things that technically make sense on paper… but don’t feel right.
Living someone else’s version of success.
Wondering why it all still feels off.

Without intuition, you live by fear.
With it, you live by truth.

Signs You Need This Step

Literally all of us could benefit from connecting to our intuition. But here are the clearest signals that you’re disconnected from your intuition:

  • You keep trying to find your answers about what to do next on google, or by crowdsourcing.

  • You feel anxious about anything unknown or unplanned

  • You always choose the safe, predictable option (even if it feels wrong)

  • You’re stuck in “not this, but I don’t know what else”

  • You feel like you have to know what happens next before you can act

What Life Feels Like With Intuition

When you’re connected to your intuition:

  • You make bold decisions — even without guarantees

  • You trust your timing

  • You stop stressing about the unknown

  • You feel calm, clear, and grounded

  • You stop chasing the “right” answer and start following what feels right

Intuition doesn’t yell.
It arrives.
