A Note on How I Actually Use My Intuition 💜

Lovely friends,

I was thinking about this the other day because someone asked me how I actually use my intuition in real life, and I kind of just sat there for a second because I don’t really separate it out like that anymore. It’s not something I turn on or go looking for, it’s just how I move through things now, and I think that’s the part people don’t always see because they’re expecting it to feel like something bigger or clearer than it actually is.

Most of the time it’s not loud at all. It’s actually really easy to miss if I’m in my head too much or trying to figure something out too far ahead. It shows up more in small moments, like something feeling easy or something feeling off, and I’ve learned to trust that more than trying to get a full answer right away.

There are a lot of days where I don’t feel like I’m getting anything specific, and that used to bother me more than it does now. I would think I was blocked or doing something wrong or not tuned in enough, but now I see that differently. If it’s quiet, it’s usually because I’m not meant to push anything yet, or I’m trying to make a decision that doesn’t need to be made right now.

So I’ve gotten more comfortable just coming back to what’s in front of me instead of trying to reach for clarity that isn’t there yet. That alone has taken a lot of pressure off, because I don’t feel like I have to force anything anymore.

I still catch myself overthinking sometimes. That hasn’t magically gone away. There are moments where I start running through all the possibilities and trying to land somewhere solid before I’ve even taken a step, and I can feel when I’m doing it because everything starts to feel tighter. That’s usually when I stop and just ask myself what actually feels simple here, not perfect, not guaranteed, just simple.

And a lot of the time the answer is something small that I almost overlooked. Send the message. Wait a little. Don’t respond yet. Go do something else and come back. It’s rarely complicated, but my mind likes to make it that way if I let it.

There’s also this thing where the first feeling comes in and then it gets questioned almost immediately. I’ve done that more times than I can count. Something feels like a no, and then my mind starts listing all the reasons it should be a yes, or something feels right and then I start picking it apart until I’m not even sure what I felt anymore.

I’ve gotten better at noticing that part. Not stopping it completely, just noticing it sooner so I don’t lose the original feeling as fast. Even if I don’t act on it right away, I don’t ignore it either. I kind of hold it there and see if it stays steady, and most of the time it does.

It’s actually been a lot more simple than I thought it would be when I first started paying attention to this. It’s not about getting everything right or having clear answers all the time. It’s more about staying honest with what I’m feeling in the moment and not talking myself out of it just because it doesn’t make sense yet.

And I think that’s the part that builds trust over time. Not big moments, just the small ones adding up. Choosing to listen, even when it’s inconvenient or unclear, and seeing that it usually leads somewhere better than forcing things.

There are still times where I go against it, and I know I’m doing it while I’m doing it, which is always interesting. But even that has changed a little because I don’t stay there as long. I notice it faster and adjust quicker, and that makes a difference.

It’s not perfect, and I don’t think it’s supposed to be. It just gets easier to recognize what’s yours and what isn’t, and to move from that place instead of trying to control everything ahead of time.

And honestly, that feels a lot better than trying to have all the answers.

A few years ago, I created a meditation with Archangel Raziel to help strengthen intuition, and it’s actually been one of the most loved ones I’ve ever shared. So I felt like it was time to bring it back here for you, especially if you’ve been wanting something simple to help you connect more clearly with your own inner guidance.

Working with Raziel was a turning point for me. It wasn’t dramatic or flashy, it was steady. He helped me trust what I was already sensing instead of second-guessing it, and that changed everything. Not just in how I experience my own life, but in how I show up for my clients too.

So if you feel pulled to it, I wanted to share it with you here.
