you to just be true a soul -led podcast I am
0:17
Summer and if you were with me on the last episode
0:19
we explored the quiet seasons the moments where
0:23
everything begins to slow down and soften and
0:26
something deeper starts shifting beneath the
0:29
surface but what happens next is something we
0:33
don't talk about enough because there comes a
0:36
moment where the quiet where things don't feel
0:40
intense anymore they don't feel uncertain that
0:42
they feel calm. And for many people on a spiritual
0:48
and intuitive path, that's actually the moment
0:51
that can feel the most unfamiliar. The moment
0:55
where nothing is wrong, but something doesn't
0:58
feel the way you expect it to. Where you might
1:04
start questioning, is this it? Am I missing something?
1:12
And what if that calm isn't the pause in your
1:15
growth? But what if actually it's a sign? A sign
1:23
that you've reached a completely new level of
1:27
your intuition. Something to think about, right?
1:33
We will discuss more when we return after this.
1:44

2:39
in life. So before we dive into our episode,
2:46
I just kind of want to reflect for a few moments.
2:49
So April 1st, 2025, I was laid off from a 22
2:55
year career. I'll be honest, I was Pretty stoked
3:01
when I left there. I felt great. I felt amazing.
3:04
I was on top of the world as I was carrying my
3:08
belongings to my car and leaving campus. And
3:12
the funny thing is is that I had no worries about
3:17
what was next. I knew that the universe and my
3:24
higher self had greater plans for me. Plans that
3:31
I may not have completely known at the time,
3:35
but I knew something amazing was coming And so
3:39
I just stepped into that I followed the breadcrumbs
3:43
I took the actions And I will say a year later
3:50
I look back and I Truly appreciate and honor
3:56
where I am today I wouldn't be here if I hadn't
4:01
gotten laid off and that was a true blessing
4:05
in disguise so and parts of this episode is going
4:12
to talk about that talk about following the nudges
4:15
talk about trusting the path because it can lead
4:19
you somewhere amazing so today we're going to
4:26
talk about choosing calm as a sign of growth
4:30
So what begins to reveal itself here is something
4:33
subtle but powerful, so powerful. It's not that
4:40
calm is hard to access. It's that the calm can
4:45
feel unfamiliar to remain in, to not override
4:50
it, to not question it, to not wait for something
4:54
to disturb it. to not feel like you have to do
5:00
something, to fix something, or to figure something
5:03
out. Because for so long your system has been
5:08
conditioned to equate movement to progress, intensity
5:12
with alignment, emotional highs with connection.
5:17
So when calm arrives, when your body softens,
5:21
when your mind quiets, when your energy steadies,
5:27
There can be a movement where you don't fully
5:30
trust it Where parts of you start looking for
5:36
something like what's missing or what might go
5:39
wrong Where you wonder hmm Shouldn't I be doing
5:46
more right now? This is too still Not because
5:52
something is off But because this way of being
5:56
is completely new to you. The spiritual shift
6:05
into safety is so important. But this is also
6:11
where a profound shift is happening. Calm is
6:16
not pausing your growth. It's evidence of it.
6:21
It is your nervous... learning that it is safe
6:25
to be here safe to receive safe to exist without
6:30
striving safe to be connected without intensity
6:35
and from a spiritual perspective this is a milestone
6:41
because true intuitive and spiritual expansion
6:47
is not just about opening about receiving It's
6:53
about anchoring what has already opened within
6:57
you. It's about becoming someone who can hold
7:01
clarity and not just access it. Who can remain
7:06
grounded in their knowing without needing constant
7:09
confirmation. Because the more grounded you become,
7:14
the more natural your intuitive flow begins to
7:16
feel and softens and steadies. It becomes something
7:22
you don't have to reach for, but something that
7:26
moves through you with ease. And we'll go deeper
7:31
into that in our next episode as we explore grounding
7:34
and the different ways you begin to support this
7:38
within your own lives. So, why can calm feel
7:45
so uncomfortable? There's something important
7:49
to understand here if you find yourself feeling
7:53
unsettled in moments of calm That doesn't mean
7:57
there's something wrong It means there's something
8:00
is changing Your system is settling into a new
8:06
way of being One that is not built on urgency
8:12
or emotional intensity are constantly seeking
8:16
the next answer but instead presence trust allowing
8:26
and in that transition the mind may try to step
8:33
in it's gonna look for problems it's gonna create
8:39
questions it's gonna visit old doubts because
8:43
your system is learning how to exist without
8:45
the patterns it once relied on Patterns like
8:50
looking outside of yourself for validation, not
8:53
fully trusting your intuitive messages, not questioning
8:56
your own knowing. It can also show up in the
9:04
need of controlling the outcome or analyzing
9:07
every piece of information, pulling it apart
9:11
before allowing yourself to accept it. But the
9:19
truth is, you don't need to have the full picture.
9:24
You don't need to know exactly what is unfolding.
9:29
Your intuitive knowing doesn't always have to
9:33
come with explanation as it asks for trust. And
9:39
part of this growth is learning to feel comfortable
9:43
in the unknown and to allow what is unfolding
9:48
without needing to force it into clarity. As
9:54
mentioned earlier, for me personally, this past
10:00
year has really been about learning to trust
10:03
the outcome and to follow the breadcrumbs as
10:07
they've appeared. There were many moments where
10:13
the steps didn't seem connected. They were very
10:20
disconnected. They didn't make sense at all at
10:23
the time People were brought into my life and
10:27
left and within such a short period of time But
10:30
each one gave me a little something And I hope
10:35
that I gave each one of them a little something
10:37
in return But looking back now every small step
10:45
mattered Every single one. Because if I hadn't
10:50
followed those nudges, even when they felt uncertain
10:54
or unclear, I wouldn't be where I am today. I
11:00
wouldn't have this podcast. I wouldn't have my
11:03
business. I wouldn't be stepping into a physical
11:07
space to offer this work in a more deeper, more
11:11
tangible way. And what I've come to understand
11:15
is this. Staying in the place of trust of knowing
11:20
That the universe God your higher self whatever
11:25
resonates with you and your beliefs Whatever
11:28
it is. It is always working in your favor That
11:33
you are being guided even when you can't fully
11:36
see where it's leading To trust where it's going
11:41
that each experience each step is unfolding in
11:46
a way that is supposed reporting what you ultimately
11:48
meant to step into. There are no mistakes in
11:52
this world. It doesn't always have to make sense.
12:01
You don't have to have the full picture to understand.
12:06
Not every nudge is meant to become something
12:10
on its own, but each one, each little one, leads
12:16
you to the next. You just have to be willing
12:20
to trust it and take that next step and then
12:23
the next and then the next and to learn how to
12:27
stay calm and grounded and connected to yourself
12:32
through it all. So choosing calm as a practice
12:43
the invitation here is not to chase the calm
12:47
is to choose it when it's already present to
12:55
notice when things are feeling steady and instead
12:59
of moving away from it stay in that moment breathe
13:04
it allow it expand it because every time you
13:11
remain in the calm You were teaching your system
13:14
something new. That peace is safe. That stillness
13:21
is supportive. And that you don't have to leave
13:25
yourself to move forward. Because for a lot of
13:30
us, calm doesn't feel natural at first. It can
13:34
feel very unfamiliar. Even a little uncomfortable.
13:39
You might notice the urge to reach for something
13:41
like your phone, a task, a distraction, something
13:45
to fill that space. But that doesn't mean you're
13:49
doing it wrong. It just means that your system
13:53
is learning something new. So when calm shows
14:00
up and you feel that subtle pull to leave it,
14:05
just what if? Instead of following that pool,
14:10
you got curious about it. What if you gently
14:16
asked yourself, hmm, can I stay here just a few
14:21
seconds longer? I think I can. Can I let this
14:27
moment be enough without adding anything to it?
14:31
Absolutely. Because calm isn't something you
14:37
have to create it's something you begin to recognize
14:42
in the spaces where you already are in the breath
14:48
you're already taking in the moments that isn't
14:51
asking anything from you the more you allow yourself
14:56
to stay even just a little bit longer each time
15:01
the more your body begins to trust it trusting
15:06
that hmm this is safe I don't have to leave this
15:10
I don't have to become something else to be okay
15:14
and over time calm stops feeling like something
15:22
you visit and starts feeling like somewhere you
15:26
live because calm is embodied intuition and this
15:36
is where your intuitive growth deepens in a different
15:39
way because intuition is not always loud not
15:46
always expansive not always a strong pull or
15:51
a clear message sometimes it's a quiet knowing
15:57
it's being neutral it's the absence of urgency
16:06
Is the ability to sit in a moment and feel grounded
16:10
in your awareness without needing to change a
16:13
thing? That's not disconnection. That's embodiment.
16:23
That's you living fully in your intuition. Not
16:28
something you have to step into, but something
16:30
you're already within. Because your intuition
16:36
is embodied. You already have it. It's right
16:41
here. It doesn't rush you. It doesn't pressure
16:49
you. It doesn't create noise in your system.
16:55
It feels steady. It's the moment where nothing
17:02
is pulling at you. You're not searching for the
17:06
next step And instead is questioning that you
17:13
you trust it You trust that not having an immediate
17:22
answer is not a lack of guidance It is guidance
17:28
Because embodied intuition doesn't always say
17:32
go here do this do that sometime it simply says
17:37
stay be here this is enough for now and that
17:50
can be one of the most unfamiliar things to learn
17:54
especially if you're used to your intuition feeling
17:58
like movement like duration like the next step
18:01
to follow There's a deeper layer of intuition
18:05
That isn't about where you're going It's about
18:13
how fully you can be with it where you already
18:17
are fully embodying Your intuition and the more
18:28
you allow yourself to rest in that your intuition
18:34
becomes something you lives inside of you not
18:38
something you're constantly trying to access
18:41
it becomes your baseline your nervous system
18:46
begins to recognize I don't have to chase clarity
18:50
I am connected even here even in the quiet and
18:58
from that place when guidance does come it feels
19:05
clean it feels simple it feels undeniable because
19:11
it's not layered with urgency or noise it rises
19:17
from calm and you trust it not because it's loud
19:21
but because you are grounded enough to hear it
19:32
and what this does this creates a new relationship
19:36
with yourself as this becomes more natural you
19:43
may begin to notice something else you're not
19:47
reaching the same way you're not searching the
19:49
same way you're not questioning yourself in the
19:51
same way there's a steadiness a quiet self -trust
19:57
and from that place Decisions become clearer
20:02
Boundaries become easier Alignment becomes something
20:06
you feel instead of something you chase Because
20:10
you're no longer trying to find your center You're
20:15
operating from it and that is powerful And what's
20:21
really shifting here I Love this one. It's the
20:26
relationship with yourself the most important
20:29
important relationship you're ever gonna have.
20:37
You're no longer looking outside of yourself
20:40
to confirm what you already know. You're no longer
20:44
needing to over explain your decisions or justify
20:48
your boundaries or make everything make sense
20:51
to feel secure. There's less internal negotiation
20:59
less back and forth less of that quiet questioning
21:03
of Is this okay? Am I allowed to choose this?
21:08
What if I get it wrong? And in this place, there's
21:14
a calm knowing not rigid not forceful Just clear
21:26
You begin to trust the way your body responds.
21:30
You trust what feels open and what feels connected.
21:37
You trust what drains you and what sustains you.
21:41
You don't need to rush to act on it. Because
21:48
even your timing begins to feel aligned. And
21:55
this is where your power softens, but deepens
21:59
at the same time. Because it's no longer coming
22:03
from control, it's coming from connection. Connection
22:07
to yourself, connection to your body, connection
22:10
to your own inner knowing. And from that place,
22:16
you don't have to hold yourself so tightly anymore.
22:24
You don't have to monitor every decision You
22:29
don't have to stay on high alert You can actually
22:36
be with yourself In a way that feels supportive
22:41
in a way that feels safe You need to be your
22:48
best friend what changes everything because when
23:01
you trust yourself life doesn't feel like something
23:05
you have to manage it feels like something you're
23:10
in a relationship with and you meet it from your
23:17
center and from that place Decisions become clearer.
23:28
Boundaries become easier. Alignment becomes something
23:32
you feel instead of something you chase. Because
23:37
you're no longer trying to find your center you're
23:40
operating from it and that is so powerful. And
23:47
as you begin to live from this space you may
23:50
notice something. It feels really good, I mean
23:55
really good. It's a sense of ease, a sense of
24:00
steadiness, and surprisingly, a deep sense of
24:04
security. Not the kind that comes from controlling
24:10
everything or having all the answers, but the
24:15
kind that comes from knowing. I trust myself
24:20
here. Be whatever arises And that kind of safety
24:30
It changes how you move through everything everything
24:39
So in closing if you find yourself in a space
24:46
right now that things feel calm When there isn't
24:54
any urgency or emotional intensity or constant
24:58
seeking Please consider this This may not be
25:04
a pause It may be your system learning what safety
25:09
feels like It may be your growth taking root
25:14
within you It may be you stepping into a new
25:22
way of being. Where peace is no longer something
25:26
you visit, but something you remain calm in.
25:32
And the more you allow yourself to stay here,
25:37
the more it becomes who you are. People ask me
25:44
sometimes, are you always this calm, this laid
25:47
back? and I mean I must say there's a part of
25:51
me that still pauses for a moment when I hear
25:54
that because the answer is yes this is who I
25:58
am this is my natural state of being but I promise
26:04
you it hasn't always been this way there were
26:09
times in my life at least 15 20 years ago where
26:14
I lived on edge emotionally you know physically
26:21
all of it I mean I was there right everything
26:27
felt heightened everything felt urgent and it
26:30
didn't take much for me to feel overwhelmed or
26:33
pulled out of myself or feel like I was spiraling
26:36
out of control I didn't even realize how much
26:41
of it that I was carrying in my system until
26:43
I started letting it go Let it go. And over time,
26:53
slowly, some little things started to shift and
26:56
change. I mean, it wasn't all at once. It wasn't
27:00
a big, dramatic way. It was all in quiet moments,
27:05
in small choices, and learning to respond instead
27:08
of react. I began to find that calm. And at first,
27:14
yes, it felt very unfamiliar. And it took me
27:21
a while to accept it and to be in it. But now
27:28
it feels like home. It's my natural state of
27:32
being. It's who I am. And I can honestly say
27:38
that it changed everything for me. Everything.
27:42
I love who I am today. I love the way that I
27:47
move through life. There's a steadiness in me
27:52
a softness and a trust And if I had not been
27:57
in this calm state a year ago That layoff would
28:03
have sent me into a tailspin. I Would have gone
28:08
into panic mode and I I wouldn't be here that's
28:14
for sure I'm no longer on edge. I'm not waiting
28:22
for something to go wrong. I feel at ease within
28:27
myself and that is something I never thought
28:32
I'd be able to say. So embrace the call and let
28:38
it change you into something amazing. Like I
28:44
wish I had a friend on here that I've known for
28:47
years that could really tell you the change that
28:51
they've seen in me in the last two decades because
28:55
it's been huge extremely huge I've stepped more
28:59
into myself I've learned to trust myself more
29:02
I've learned that calm is an amazing place to
29:06
be and it's so simple once you allow yourself
29:10
to get there I no longer over analyze stuff and
29:15
believe me I'm analytical I mean for years it
29:18
was my job to analyze things to break it down
29:21
to make sense of it and when my intuition started
29:24
opening up I wanted to break it down and make
29:26
sense of it but the thing is you can't do that
29:30
because nothing about this space makes sense
29:32
the only thing about this space that really makes
29:35
sense is trusting it embodying it and being one
29:41
with it Because, you know, it's an amazing space
29:51
to be in and your intuition is a beautiful gift.
29:56
But you have to trust it, not analyze it, not
29:59
question it, not tear it apart. And you learn
30:02
to be calm with it. And when you can get to this
30:08
calm state with it, it's amazing. Embrace it.
30:14
Love it. So I want to say thank you for being
