You Don’t Have to Chase Your Intuition · Just Be True ~ A Soul-Led Podcast

Hello and welcome. So glad you're here with me
0:05
today. So today we're going to talk about you
0:08
don't have to chase your intuition. So have you
0:11
ever felt like your intuition is just kind of
0:14
out of reach? Like you almost hear it, but not
0:18
clearly enough to trust it. Like it's there,
0:21
but just beyond your grasp. And no matter how
0:25
much you try to connect, it still feels a little
0:28
uncertain. Well, if you've ever felt that way,
0:33
I promise you, you are not alone. But what if
0:37
that reason of those feeling of just out of reach
0:41
is not because your intuition is weak or blocked,
0:45
but what if it's because you were taught to look
0:48
for it somewhere it was never meant to be found?
0:53
Because your intuition was never meant to be
0:57
chased. So hello and welcome back to Just Be
1:04
True, a soul -led podcast. I'm Summer and for
1:08
over a decade I have helped hundreds of women
1:11
navigate deeply transformative life experiences
1:15
such as career transitions, grief, healing after
1:19
major life changes like divorce and loss by reconnecting
1:24
them with their inner voice and spiritual awareness.
1:27
through energy healings, meditation, intuitive
1:31
practice, and spiritual teachings, I support
1:34
them in aligning with their truth, rebuilding
1:37
their confidence, and learning to trust themselves
1:40
in a whole new way. And today, we're going to
1:44
talk about something that may shift the way you
1:46
relate to your intuition entirely. You don't
1:50
have to chase it. There's an idea especially
1:55
in spiritual spaces that intuition is some Intuition
1:59
is something that you have to reach for Something
2:03
you have to tap into you have to strengthen you
2:07
have to find and in that process you can unknowingly
2:12
turn in Intuition into something that lives outside
2:16
of us outside of you something distance something
2:21
elusive, something we're always trying to catch
2:25
up to. But what if your intuition was never been
2:28
missed? What if it's something you don't need
2:31
to chase, but something you simply need to notice?
2:38
So let's pause here and take a different perspective
2:41
of our intuition. So imagine intuition as a gentle
2:50
stream flowing through the landscape of your
2:53
consciousness. It doesn't demand attention. It
2:57
doesn't roar like a river. It doesn't force you
3:01
to follow it. Instead, it's quietly nourishing
3:05
the soul of your being, waiting for you to take
3:09
notice of its presence. And maybe that's the
3:13
part of what makes intuition so sacred. It's
3:17
not separate from you. It's not somewhere far
3:21
away. It's not something outside of your body,
3:24
your spirit, or your soul. It is already a part
3:28
of your terrain. This stream is not something
3:32
you need to chase. It's already following you
3:35
through the inner landscape of who you are, subtly
3:39
guiding you with its gentle currents. It nourishes
3:43
the soul by reminding you of what truth beneath
3:47
the noise is. It softens the places within you
3:52
that have been striving for answers. And it brings
3:55
you back into relationship with your own inner
3:58
wisdom. Because your intuition isn't loud. It
4:02
doesn't compete. It doesn't push. It doesn't
4:05
demand your attention. It is subtle. It is steady.
4:10
And it's already there. woven into your everyday
4:14
experience. Many times it shows up in the pause
4:20
between the response, in the feelings in your
4:23
body that something is off, in the quiet knowing
4:26
that doesn't need proof. But here's what happens.
4:32
When we start chasing intuition, we move into
4:36
a state of searching. And searching often comes
4:40
from the belief that we don't already have what
4:42
we need. It can create urgency, it can create
4:46
pressure, and it can create doubt. And in that
4:50
state, we tend to override the very thing we're
4:53
trying to hear. Intuition isn't something that
4:59
responds well to force. It responds to space,
5:04
safety, and it responds to presence. So instead
5:09
of asking, why can't I hear my intuition? Ask,
5:15
where am I not allowing myself to be still enough
5:19
to notice it? Now I will say, I just want to
5:23
take a small little caveat here because in episode
5:26
four, learning to trust the quiet seasons, that's
5:30
much different than this. So when you are in
5:33
a season of change, recalibration and transition,
5:37
you may have quiet seasons where your intuition
5:40
is readjusting to the changes that you are experiencing.
5:44
And these are moments of intuitive growth. And
5:47
yes, it can feel very off. So I would say if
5:52
it would be beneficial, go back and listen to
5:55
episode four. because if you're going through
5:58
a transitional season and you're having those
6:01
quiet still moments there's something happening
6:04
there and in season four dives deeper into that
6:08
but if you're chasing your intuition you know
6:11
it's a completely different thing if you're searching
6:13
for it and wondering where it's at because intuition
6:17
gets drowned out not by his absence but by noise
6:23
They can get drowned out by mental noise, emotional
6:26
overwhelmed, external opinions, and the need
6:31
to get it right. And in intuition, I'm going
6:33
to tell you the one thing you have to know is
6:36
that there's no proving anything to anybody.
6:39
It either it is or it isn't. They either believe
6:41
or they don't. It's not your job. It's not my
6:44
job to make them believe. The only thing we can
6:48
do is present them the information and it's up
6:51
to them whether or not they want to accept it.
6:54
So, you know, all in this space is not about
6:57
making someone to believe, right? There should
7:00
be no pressure on getting it right. It is what
7:02
it is. And also understanding that especially
7:06
the pressure of making decisions quickly, but
7:09
your intuition doesn't rush you. That urgency
7:12
you feel, the urgency that you feel around that,
7:15
that is not intuition. That comes from fear or
7:19
conditioning or a need for certainty. Intuition
7:23
is grounded. Even when it asks you to take a
7:27
leap, it carries a sense of knowing, not panic.
7:31
Think about a time when you made a decision or
7:34
took an action and somewhere deep within you,
7:38
you knew it was the right step. even if your
7:41
emotions were still catching up to it, even if
7:44
you felt blind in the moment. For me, opening
7:50
up this physical space for my energy healing
7:53
and for my intuitive work has been one of those
7:56
moments. There isn't complete proof. There isn't
8:01
full certainty. And I don't exactly know how
8:04
every piece of this will unfold. But underneath
8:10
the fear, beneath the questions, beneath the
8:13
human uncertainty, that's where the steadiness
8:16
is. That's where it feels quiet. It's a quiet
8:20
knowing. It says that each step is aligned with
8:23
the next. I don't have to understand it. I just
8:27
have to follow it and I have to take the action.
8:31
We can know, we can be told, you may hear your
8:34
guides or your intuition tell you you're going
8:37
to do great things. You're going to be amazing
8:39
at this and amazing at that. But you can't just
8:41
sit there and wait for it to happen. You have
8:43
to take action. That's a part of being in the
8:46
physical is being able to take action. So just
8:53
know that often, you know, intuition speaks.
8:57
It's not about removing doubt. It's not about
9:01
handling handing us and the entire path of how
9:05
to move forward. It's about giving enough giving
9:09
us enough inner knowing to take the next step
9:12
to trust and Honestly, if they gave you BAM everything
9:16
all at once Like how everything is gonna work
9:20
and every step you would be extremely overwhelmed
9:22
They give you enough to they give you enough
9:26
information enough nudges enough hints along
9:29
the way To allow you to trust the process and
9:33
move through it and that's what it's all about
9:36
There's also this belief that intuition should
9:39
always be clear. I have to laugh because many
9:43
times intuition is not clear. It should come
9:47
that you some people believe it should come in
9:49
full sentences or even like full paragraphs like
9:51
a whole story laid out in front of you. Our direct
9:54
answer are the perfect path forward but often
9:57
not and many times not. It's just the next step.
10:02
or it's a nudge or a feeling or a soul redirection.
10:07
And when we're chasing that clarity we're going
10:10
to miss the simplicity of what's already being
10:12
shown to us. So you don't have to chase your
10:17
intuition. You don't have to prove that you're
10:20
intuitive. You don't have to force connection.
10:23
You don't even have to be perfect at it. Your
10:27
intuition is already a relationship within you.
10:31
The real question is, are you creating the space
10:36
to listen? And are you open to building that
10:40
relationship between you and your intuition?
10:46
Think about it. All of this is akin to cultivating
10:52
a garden within yourself where silence and stillness
10:56
allows the seeds of intuition to sprout. It's
10:59
about recognizing the nonstop internal commentary
11:03
that often drowns out the whispers of your inner
11:06
voice. The planning, the analyzing, the second
11:10
guessing, the repeating of every possible outcome.
11:14
And by quieting this commentary, even just a
11:18
little, you open yourself up for impressions
11:21
of the moment. Untainted by perceived notions
11:28
or fear or the pressure to make everything make
11:31
sense right away. This doesn't mean you have
11:34
to have silence in that external world completely,
11:40
but it means learning how to find peace within
11:43
yourself even amidst the noise. It means creating
11:47
moments where your soul can breathe. Where your
11:51
body can soften where your inner knowing can
11:54
rise naturally without being forced You can you
12:03
can definitely embrace practices that foster
12:06
inner quietude by meditation mindful breathing
12:12
walking journaling, placing hands over your heart,
12:18
simply being present in the moment and fully
12:21
being embodied in a moment, listening and feeling
12:24
and comprehending. These practices are not about
12:29
trying to make intuition appear. They're about
12:33
creating the kind of inner environment where
12:35
intuition can be noticed because when your nervous
12:39
system feels safer your awareness becomes clear
12:42
when your awareness becomes clear you begin to
12:46
recognize that your intuition has been communicating
12:49
with you all along you you just have to be aware
12:53
of it and allow that to be brought to your attention
12:57
and sometimes listening doesn't look like sitting
13:03
in meditation for an hour Sometimes it looks
13:07
like taking a breath before responding, pausing
13:11
before saying yes, noticing how your body feels
13:16
when you walk into a room, letting silence exist
13:20
without feeling it, giving yourself permission
13:26
to wait before deciding, and honoring that subtle
13:31
not yet that arises in the body. trusting the
13:37
soft yes that doesn't need to explain itself
13:40
to anyone else just to you just right here you're
13:45
gonna know it right here because intuition lives
13:51
in those in -between moments not in the chase
13:55
but in the presence so If you've been feeling
14:04
disconnected from your intuition, I want to offer
14:07
you this. You don't need to search for it. You
14:11
don't need to try harder. You don't need to become
14:15
someone different. You simply need to come back
14:19
to yourself again and again, gently, without
14:23
pressure, and without expectations. Many times
14:28
we are way harder on ourselves than we need to
14:31
be. Allow yourself to give yourself some grace
14:34
and some patience. And a simple knowing that
14:40
that intuition is there. It's just touching it.
14:44
It's tapping into it. It's feeling it. The more
14:52
you're grounded in your body, the more you allow
14:56
stillness, the more you soften the need to control.
15:01
That is when the clearer your intuition becomes,
15:06
when you let go of all of those things. In reality,
15:12
intuition often communicates through subtle nudges
15:16
and feelings. It's like a soft breeze that gently
15:20
redirects you on your path, rather than a gust
15:23
that forces you into a new direction. It's the
15:26
gentle signals that may always come without full
15:29
explanation. And you may not always have logical
15:33
sense in the beginning. They simply arrive as
15:37
a feeling, a pull, a pause, a quiet knowing,
15:42
a sense that something is aligned or something
15:44
is not. And that is where the trust begins. Not
15:50
because you have every answer, but because you
15:53
are willing to honor the wisdom moving through
15:56
you. Not because intuition suddenly appeared.
15:59
but because she finally gave it space to be heard.
16:04
And that, that's the shift. It's the shift from
16:08
chasing to allowing, from searching to noticing,
16:12
from questioning to trusting. Intuition thrives
16:16
in the environment of trust and presence. It's
16:19
not about proving your intuitive abilities or
16:22
forcing a connection. It's about allowing intuition
16:26
to naturally integrate into your life, like a
16:29
melody that harmonizes with your daily rhythm.
16:33
It becomes part of how you move, how you choose,
16:38
how you pause, how you listen, and how you return
16:42
to yourself. Isn't that beautiful? And from that
16:49
place, your path doesn't feel forced. It feels
16:55
aligned. It feels natural. It feels like something
16:58
you don't have to chase because it's always walking
17:03
with you. Not beside you, not outside of you,
17:09
within you. Thank you for being here with me
17:18
today. If this resonated with you, please take
17:22
a moment to reflect where in your life you've
17:25
been chasing something that's already right there,
17:28
right there. And what would it feel like, you
17:33
know, think about what it would feel like to
17:35
stop chasing and just start listening. Just start
17:40
allowing. Give up the control. I know it's hard,
17:47
but you can do it. If you're a woman moving through
17:54
change and remembering who you are while learning
17:57
how to fully embody that in your life, I want
18:01
you to know you are not alone in this journey.
18:04
There's space for you here to be grounded, to
18:07
be supported, and to come home to yourself in
18:10
a deeper way. And in this work, we walk together.
18:14
You're not alone. You're fully supported. And
18:17
if you're feeling called to go deeper into this
18:20
work and the connection with me and my work,
18:22
you can find all of my current offerings and
18:25
resources and ways to connect with me in the
18:28
show notes. Everything is there for you to explore
18:32
in your own time, in your own way. And honestly,
18:36
only take what resonates with you. And if you
18:40
feel if there's something there that Doesn't
18:43
connect with you leave it set it to the side.
18:46
You do not have to pick it up And you don't have
18:50
to do it all at once just trust what feels right
18:53
for you So I will see you on episode 8 which
