Could trusting your gut save your life? For me, it literally did.
When my 4-month-old started fussing during a solo road trip, my intuition told me to pull over for a quick stop. Fifteen minutes later, we drove past a horrific accident that had just happened – one that closed the highway for five hours. Had we not made that unplanned stop, the timing would have put us right at that spot when disaster struck.
This experience sparked a deep dive into how intuition works differently for each of us. Through human design, we learn there are seven distinct decision-making authorities – emotional, sacral, splenic, ego, self-projected, mental, and lunar – each guiding us in unique ways. Some feel answers in their gut, others hear whispers that speak only once, while some need to talk things out or wait for emotional clarity.
The challenge isn’t just recognizing these signals but trusting them in a world that values logic over intuition. My splenic authority comes as a whisper that speaks once and disappears – something that made me feel crazy until I learned to trust it. From small decisions like starting this podcast to life-saving moments on the highway, these intuitive hits have never steered me wrong.
What is your intuition trying to tell you today? Maybe it’s time to start listening.
