Intuition & Ego?
Trust Your Intuition
Next time you want to make a decision, quiet your mind. Come to the present time. Hand on your heart, what’s important to you about this decision? Breathe and listen to that humble inner knowing. Your intuition is the first answer when you ask yourself a question. For example, “What is it like if I go down this path?” a ‘yes’ will feel light, excitable, or like a gentle warm nudge. A ‘no’ will feel heavier or dull.
Keep in mind that if you ask yourself, “What is it like if I go down this path?” your ego will be quick to justify, make excuses, and explain why you should do what is familiar. But that’s usually why we try to engage with our intuition. Our intuition drives us to grow and reach our potential—this can mean doing something different than what has been done before! This is why people engage with coaching. They are looking for clarity moving forward.
Following your intuition means being clear about what’s important to YOU – not what other people have told you that you should do or want. People often won’t listen to their intuition because they fear trusting themselves and are stuck in a pattern of relying on external validation. (This can easily be resolved in a coaching session).
We can all relate to those moments when we say, “Oh, I should have listened to my intuition”.
It does take time to train your intuition. Be easy on yourself as you learn to tap into this powerful part of you.
What is your Intuition?
Did you know your intuition is NOT:
- Self-talk & inner dialogue.
- Voices from the past.
- Logical.
- Talking in sentences.
- Emotional.
- Judgmental.
- Loud.
- Your beliefs.
- Adamant in its strength.
Your intuition comes from:
- Your heart.
- Within the core of you.
- Your “Gut”
- It comes from your 6th sense, rather than your logical 5 senses.

Intuition & Vulnerability
I used to think my intuition would lead me down the ‘right’ path and steer me away from the ‘wrong’ path. I assumed that the right path was the easy path and the wrong path was the challenging path. It was an ah-ha moment when I realised that your intuition motivates you to be your purpose.
If you have a purpose to step onto the stage, stand in the spotlight and inspire people by speaking your truth, then you will have to work through all the ego conditioning from where you currently are to where you want to be. You must work through the fear of being judged, the low self-worth of ‘why would people listen to me’, and any other limiting emotions that allow the ego to grip you to stay the same.
Your intuition will require you to be vulnerable and create an entirely new path that requires change. That’s why it can be hard to follow intuition, as we have an instinct to pull away from unfamiliarity.
If you can get comfortable with being uncomfortable, your intuition will lead you to be in alignment with your purpose. So, if your soul’s purpose is to learn about self-empowerment, your intuition will move you towards obtaining this.
Your Ego will go against your intuition and will use whatever it can to keep you from changing. It will trigger the emotional body and release fear. It will drive up your anxiety, causing your logical mind to race with all the reasons why you shouldn’t go ahead.
There are so many aspects playing out, such as the emotional body, the mental body, your instincts, your ego, your intuition, your psychic senses, and your instincts.
This is why coaching is so powerful. Coaching will help you resolve old limiting patterns and familiar outgrown habits so your Intuition can lead you forward to manifest the best version of yourself.
