Episode 25- Learning to Trust Your Intuition
Get the free Prompts to calm anxiety
When you've spent years—or decades—being told what is right, what is true, and what is best for you, trusting yourself again can feel disorienting. Many women raised in high-demand religious systems were taught that external authority is more trustworthy than their own internal wisdom. So when they leave, they’re left asking: What do I actually believe? What do I want? And how do I know if my intuition is something I can trust?
In this episode, we talk about the process of rebuilding self-trust after religious conditioning. We look at why intuition can feel confusing, how emotional suppression plays into it, and why it’s common to fear making the “wrong” choice once there’s no longer a clear rulebook to follow.
You’ll learn how to relate to your intuition in a grounded, steady way—without needing it to be perfect or magical. Inside this episode: How high-demand systems train you to defer to authority Why intuition often goes offline when your nervous system doesn’t feel safe
The fear of getting it wrong, disappointing others, or making a choice you can’t undo Why intuition is quiet and subtle—not dramatic or urgent How to begin repairing the relationship with your inner voice through small, consistent acts of self-honoring
The difference between intuition and anxiety (and how to tell them apart) What it means to let yourself experiment without self-punishment Trusting your intuition isn’t about always knowing the answer. It’s about building a relationship with yourself that can tolerate uncertainty and still move forward. This is how personal authority is reclaimed—gently, slowly, one self-honoring decision at a time.
