Have you ever had a feeling about something and been so certain you knew what it meant?

Someone's tone changes, and you sense they're upset with you. Someone becomes distant, and you feel that familiar fear of being abandoned. Or an opportunity comes along that you secretly want, but something inside tells you not to take the chance.

And you say, "I just have a feeling."

Not every feeling is our intuition guiding us.

What feels like intuition is an old wound recognizing something familiar. When we've spent years expecting rejection, we can become very good at noticing anything that resembles it. We've learned that trusting others leads to disappointment; we may interpret uncertainty as a warning. And when we've spent much of our lives trying to keep ourselves emotionally safe, fear can become so familiar that we mistake it for wisdom.

This doesn't mean we should ignore our feelings. They are telling us something about our inner experience. But they may not be telling us the whole story about what is happening around us.

This is where discernment becomes such a beautiful part of healing. We begin asking ourselves:

Is this something I know, or something I fear?

Am I responding to what is happening now, or remembering something that happened before?

Is there more to this situation than what I'm assuming?

When we become quiet enough to listen without immediately reacting, something begins to shift. We make room for another possibility.

For me, this is also where my relationship with God has become so meaningful. I've learned that I don't have to force an answer or figure everything out in that moment. I can become still. I can pray. I can listen. And I can allow myself the time to recognize what is coming from love and what may be coming from fear.

Confidence isn't believing that every feeling we have is the truth. It's trusting ourselves enough to question what we're feeling without dismissing it.

And sometimes, that willingness to question the story is the beginning of hearing something entirely different.

When Did You Stop Trusting Yourself?
Have you ever noticed how easily you can trust someone else's opinion while questioning your own?

You might be a woman who has spent years making decisions, raising a family, caring for others, or building a career. And yet, when it comes to something you truly want for yourself, you hesitate.

You ask someone what they think. Then someone else. You replay the possibilities, wonder if you're making a mistake, and sometimes decide it's easier not to decide at all.

But have you ever wondered where that doubt began?

Maybe growing up, your feelings were dismissed. Your choices were questioned. You were told you were too sensitive or that you didn't know what you were talking about. Or perhaps you made a decision that didn't turn out the way you hoped, and somewhere inside, you decided you couldn't trust yourself.

And just like that, another story began:

"I don't make good decisions."

"Other people know better than I do."

"I can't trust what I feel."

Over time, those beliefs can become so familiar that we stop recognizing them as beliefs. We simply call it a lack of confidence or, worse, imposter syndrome.

But what if you were never lacking confidence? What if you learned to doubt yourself because of experiences that made your own knowing feel unsafe or unimportant?

I wonder how many times you've already known what felt right for you, but talked yourself out of it because you were afraid of being wrong.

Healing invites us to become curious about that. Not to blame the people or experiences that influenced us, but to recognize that the story we learned about ourselves may no longer be true.

You don't have to spend the rest of your life questioning yourself because someone once taught you that your voice didn't matter. Maybe confidence begins with something as simple as being willing to listen to yourself again.

A reflection for your heart:When did you begin believing that someone else knew what was better for you than you did?

Let’s talk about trusting that inner voice of yours.

Do you ever find yourself questioning your intuitive nudges? Maybe you wonder if it’s just wishful thinking, or perhaps you can recall a time when you felt deeply connected to your inner knowing, until you talked yourself out of it. It is completely normal to feel uncertain about trusting something you can’t physically see, but learning to listen is one of the most beautiful, personal relationships you can cultivate with yourself.

Here’s the fun part: your intuition is uniquely yours! It might show up as a body sensation, a clear "yes" or "no," spontaneous thoughts, or even repetitive signs and symbols popping up throughout your day.

Building that "intuitive muscle" doesn't require deep, heavy decisions right off the bat. You can actually turn it into a playful game! Try starting small with the low-stakes everyday moments:

"Which seat should I take on the bus today?"

"Which store will have what I need at the best price?"

"Which route should I take to work?"

When you start small, you give yourself space to notice how your intuition speaks to you without the pressure. Over time, you begin to see how allowing things to unfold naturally always serves your highest good, like those random moments you have to turn back around for a forgotten item, only to realize later that a small delay kept you out of harm's way!

This week, let’s clear out the noise. If there’s an old, untruthful narrative or a "toxic seed" you’ve been carrying about not trusting yourself, gently acknowledge it, write it down, and let it go. Replace it with something simple and grounding, like: "I trust my inner guidance."

How does your intuition speak to you? Let’s chat in the comments!

Our wounds have a way of filling in the blanks when information is missing, often leading us to jump to painful conclusions about our worth. But healing invites us to become curious rather than critical. Let’s stop letting old pain dictate a story that was never true to begin with.

There comes a pivotal moment in healing when we shift from asking "Why did this happen to me?" to "What have I continued to believe about myself because of it?" While we cannot always choose what happens, we have the power to choose what we carry forward. You are always worthy, always enough, and you have always belonged.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if the harsh things you believe about yourself were ever really yours to carry? Often, we internalize someone else’s unhealed words and mistake them for our own truth. This week, let’s listen closely to our self-talk—are they spoken with the love you truly deserve?

10/30/2026

Have you been kinder to yourself this week? What has your internal dialogue shown you, and did you find yourself changing the way you use words around you?

At the beginning of the week, we looked at the old stories we hold inside—stories and words planted by others that were never even true to begin with. So often, we carry constant running narratives, letting a toxic seed planted by someone else take root in our being. But as we go into the weekend, I want to invite you to pause and check in.

Find one toxic seed that has been planted by the outside world, something untrue, and examine it. Write down those heavy, toxic thoughts, and take a moment to really reflect on them. Notice where you feel them in your body. Sit with the anger, frustration, or grief that comes up, and give thanks to those feelings for showing you what needs to be released.

When you feel ready, pull that old seed out and replace it with a new, beautiful one. Write it down as an affirmation, maybe something simple like, "I love myself." Say it out loud. It might feel a bit weird at first, and that’s okay. Stick with it until you can physically feel a shift in your body.

Allow this new, beautiful seed to take hold as we head into the weekend, and notice how good it feels to let go of the old story and clear it from your heart.

Choose one toxic seed you are ready to let go of today.
