Your Intuition

Let's talk about Intuition. We all yearn to establish a deeper link to that 'voice within'. In this episode I unpack why it matters, what might be holding us back and what becomes possible when we begin to live from this intuitive place.

Transcript

Well,

Hello and welcome back to the Maria Aleandra podcast.

My friends,

It has been a minute.

It's been several minutes,

Actually.

I haven't recorded a podcast episode in months,

Since 2020.

Like,

I don't even remember in 20.

.

.

I don't even remember the date of the last podcast.

I've got to go check in.

Anywho,

I am back and really feeling a sense of incredible energy and very revitalized around this podcast in particular.

And other aspects of my messaging and my business in general,

Which you'll hear all about.

But today we're going to dive into a topic that is always on the lips of women and men.

But primarily,

I hear it from women.

I think the guys always benefit from us leaning into these spaces.

But it's all about intuition.

We're going to be talking about intuition today.

And over the next series of podcasts,

I'm going to be bringing in the topics of intuition,

Confidence,

Trust,

These very foundational conversations,

And hopefully some inspiration for you to begin to trust your intuition,

Connect with your intuition at a new level.

I hear this time and time again that that's one of the primary things that we seek.

Also confidence,

How to awaken your inner sense of confidence and really understand it.

So in the next podcast,

I'm going to dive deeper into that.

Make sure you subscribe so you can be notified when that one pops up.

And our sense of trust.

We're also going to be talking later on and bringing in visibility.

We're going to be talking about what it means to work with Kratrix,

All the things.

But really consider this your weekly dose of mindset,

Magic,

And momentum in this space where we can have the conversations around igniting who we are and sharing our voice.

And building and growing really purposeful and profitable businesses that quite frankly,

Just make the world a better place as we light ourselves up,

We light up the world.

So this is what it means to be in that space of activating your,

What I call your Kratrix consciousness.

So without further ado,

Let's play a little music to intro me in,

And then we'll get right back into it.

Okay.

I'm realizing I need a,

Like a intro,

Like a spoken intro.

So here we go.

Let's talk about intuition and intuition.

My goodness.

It's such a juicy topic.

We could dedicate a whole podcast,

Like a whole entire series of podcast episodes to this concept of intuition.

And today,

What I want is to just get back to basics and remind us why intuition is so important and why I believe we are so thirsty for a deeper intuitive connection.

So intuition can also be known,

You know,

Be experienced as that inner voice,

Our gut feeling,

Our connection to the divine,

Our connection to source,

The understanding that we have of our own,

Let's call it our inner GPS,

Goddess Positioning System,

Our inner guidance,

Our,

You know,

That voice inside us that is constantly compelling us to show up in a way that is much more in integrity and congruent with who we are inside.

So there's a couple of layers to this.

First,

There's the act of becoming more and more aware of the connection with your intuition,

Of actually establishing the link to listen to that inner voice.

To normalize that constant connection and tapping into,

You know,

What does my intuition have to say about X,

Y,

Z?

Because we're used to making decisions from a much more logical,

I'm using air quotes,

Logical point of view.

And we have been in many ways given the false idea and indoctrinated into the false idea that your intuition and your imagination and your,

You know,

Your intuition is not you know,

That voice inside is actually not real.

And if this is something that has been a conversation,

An internal conversation for you,

Then this is a great opportunity for you to open yourself up to challenge it and be willing to see a whole through a whole new lens or actually like clear the lens.

Like the lens is foggy right now.

If we're not fully tapped into our intuition,

How do we clear it and how do we repattern and reprogram and recalibrate our mindset so that we release the old ideas of your,

You know,

What feels intuitive is actually not real.

What's real is what's right in front of you with tangible,

What you can see and feel and,

You know,

Not feel,

But what you can see and touch.

What we can feel is intuitive.

So,

And then the other layer of,

You know,

The intuitive path and journey is to then begin to develop the courage and the confidence to take action from that space.

The first layer is like,

Okay,

I'm listening to my intuition and becoming more comfortable with understanding that voice inside.

And then the next layer is I'm actually taking,

I'm taking inspired action from an intuitive space.

And that takes a lot of courage and that takes that awakening of our confidence.

And that's where most of us can be like,

Oh my gosh,

Can I trust myself enough to,

To actually follow through with this?

And we might have the,

These like defense mechanisms basically pop up that want to keep us in a space of safety in the default programming of no,

No,

No,

This is how things are done.

This is how things have been done.

This is what I was taught.

Anything else that's in the realm of the unknown is actually not true or real.

And I don't want to be perceived as,

You know,

Not having a foot in reality.

And that sends up all sorts of safety alarms for us because the minute we start doing something from an intuitive space,

It's very much aligned with who you are at the core.

And it will most likely require you to make some decisions,

Make a multitude of decisions that are,

That veer away from the conversation that many other people might be having.

So this is where we're like,

Oh,

You know,

If I say this,

Am I going to ruffle feathers?

If I say this,

Am I going to be,

Basically we're afraid of being ostracized.

We're afraid of being cast off from the collective.

And the thing is that as humans,

We are social creatures and we were,

You know,

We're designed to be in community.

But because we've all been going through the specific,

Like in the specific kind of track of this is how you do life,

This is what you do,

When we begin to veer off,

Which means we're listening to that voice inside of us that says,

No,

No,

No,

I'm,

There's something else here that I meant to create,

Do,

Cultivate,

Be,

Et cetera,

Then it's like,

Wait a minute,

But if you follow that,

Then you're no longer in the collective.

And so that brings up a sense of,

I may not be safe.

And I'm just saying all this stuff to remind us that these are conversations that are very much,

They're very primal.

And so let's acknowledge the fact that being in community is really vital for us to feel held and seen.

The thing here is if you want to feel held and seen on a more regular basis,

Being the woman who you are,

Then you get to find the communities that are having the conversations that you want to have.

You know,

We get to find those outward expressions and representations of the inner realms of what we're living because,

You know,

You're really not the only one and you're not,

You don't have to do it alone.

And personally,

For me,

One of the most massive turning points in my own journey towards trusting my intuition and making decisions from that space,

At first,

It started as a very,

What felt like a lonely journey.

And sometimes it still feels like a lonely journey.

And I want to normalize that because I think for us,

You know,

Many of us like visionary souls,

You know,

You know who you are.

You're a change maker.

You're a coach.

You're a healer.

You're an artist.

You're an activist.

Like you want to,

You know,

There's something that you know,

You're like,

But there's something more that like dot,

Dot,

Dot.

There's something more.

For us,

It can feel like a lonely path because there's so many voices outside of us that might be pointing in a different direction of no,

No,

No.

This is how things are done.

So let's understand that.

Let's normalize that there's nothing wrong with that.

But what we get to do is be in an active quest of finding other voices and spaces where we do feel seen,

Held,

Stretched,

Challenged,

Supported,

Because that in itself will catalyze new things within you and will,

And will support you in building the momentum towards the things you really want to like spark in your life.

So I was saying for me,

A big turning point was feeling pretty lonely in my like vision of what I thought was possible.

And,

But beginning to craft that path,

Beginning to find the spaces where it was like,

Oh,

People here are having a similar conversation.

Let me tune in.

Let me join.

Let me listen in.

Certainly getting coached,

Joining,

You know,

Coaching programs,

Joining masterminds,

Like spaces where that was like,

Like this is what,

And quite frankly feeling like,

Oh,

I found my people like,

Wow,

This is incredible.

I'm not the only one.

And it sounds so basic,

But it's so true.

Whenever we have those moments of like,

Oh my God,

She's like,

She's saying the same thing I've been feeling for a long time.

And so that's why I'm so passionate about bringing women together in community.

That's why I'm so passionate about my free community,

Rise of the Kreatrix,

And then my membership,

The Kreatrix Collective,

Which is a paid membership where we just take things to the next level.

But both of these spaces are meant to support that.

And I'm not the only one.

There are many other incredible women leaders out there who are crafting these spaces.

You listening might be one who already has a space.

You're holding that safe container for a long time.

You're holding that safe container for others,

Or you aspire to be in that space.

And so I know that if you aspire to build community and have a platform where you're bringing people together,

That is part of your,

What I call your divine appointment.

So keep listening to those nudges and keep moving in that direction because you're probably,

You're a weaver.

You're meant to bring people together,

Connect the dots in some way,

And hold space for others who begin to shine their light.

And we do this as we are doing our own inner work.

We,

You know,

You don't have to feel like,

Oh,

I have to wait until I'm at a certain point to hold space for others.

The fact that you're already feeling the nudge to hold space for others is something you can begin to do.

And there are many ways to do that.

I may do another podcast on that,

Actually.

So I'm going to write that down.

So getting back to intuition.

So first,

The awareness of like,

OK,

How do I begin to listen to that inner voice?

And why is that so important?

OK,

Well,

Because we live in a world where there are so many external messages and it's,

It can seem like it can be harder and harder to listen and listen closely to that voice.

There's so many messages from people,

From companies,

From organization,

Like,

You know,

Any kind of organization,

Platforms,

Messages,

You know,

Ads,

All of the things.

Like,

Imagine all of the different touch points where somebody else is sharing their point of view with you,

What they think you should do,

Decide upon.

And this could be very intimate in your home space with your family,

With your partner,

With your colleagues,

Your boss.

You know,

I've certainly experienced and feeling kind of like the odd woman out in a lot of these circumstances sometimes.

And for a long time,

It felt very frustrating for me.

And I felt a sense of constriction,

Inner constriction,

Because I felt like I was kind of the only one or one of the few in certain spaces that was.

Yeah,

It was like my,

My,

The way I was seeing and viewing the world didn't feel like the norm.

And it's,

And it's not because anytime you're wanting to change a paradigm,

Which a paradigm is a set of,

You know,

A sort of set of beliefs.

Anytime you're moving towards that's what I know I'm here to do is to somehow reinvent,

Reimagine,

Rethink,

Come up with new,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

New,

You will be met with some sort of resistance because we tend to go for what's safe and what we know because our system wants to come back to this like sense of balance.

But then what happens is that we keep feeling that inner calling,

That inner spark of you're meant for something more.

You're meant for something more.

And we can go to bed at night thinking or writing in our journals like,

What is this something more?

And does that even exist?

Is it just a dream?

Can I make this a reality?

What does that look like?

You know,

And we have these moments when it feels like we're kind of,

We're getting,

We get closer to that,

Like,

Oh my God,

This could actually be possible.

And then we might flip,

You know,

The next day and just it can all seem like it comes crashing down and we go,

Oh,

You know,

Whatever.

That was just,

You know,

Like a pipe dream.

Like that's never going to happen.

But then we kind of vacillate back and forth.

And,

You know,

I've said before that it's called a calling because it's not going to stop calling you until you answer.

And I think we have this,

We get to also re-establish even the energy of what or in the definition of what a calling is,

Of being on purpose is because many times we associate it with,

I've got to find the one thing that I do,

Like,

What is my purpose?

Let me fill in the blank here.

What is the thing that I do?

And,

You know,

How,

How does that make the world a better place or an impact?

Or how does that make,

You know,

How does that bring me freedom in my life and my self expression so that then I can,

You know,

Become the person I'm meant to be?

But we put a lot of pressure on that definition of I got to find and define my purpose.

And especially when we're starting out on the path of really understanding our relationship with intuition,

Our purpose,

Our divine appointment,

Our calling,

That thing that just comes from within us that's like,

Oh,

Like she's just yearning to be expressed out in the world.

We have to bring the sense of flexibility and grace around it so that it doesn't become this thing that we've got to fill in the blank.

But rather understand that it's a series,

That it's part of a series of choices and moment by moment opportunities where we're leaning into the kind of life and the kind of person that we aspire to be moment by moment.

Following your intuition is one of the things that we can absolutely do in a both a very magical and a very practical way to bring us closer to that space of being able to be closer to that space of alignment.

Ultimately,

We're seeking a sense of alignment,

The sense of freedom,

The sense of living into what matters to you.

And let's be clear that that is not a selfish path at all.

That is a path of,

You know,

When you rise,

Others will rise with you.

When you show up in your fullest,

You benefit your family,

You benefit your children,

You benefit everybody around you,

Even if at first it seems like you're the only one.

This is where we get to stay the course and know that we are in this for the long haul.

This isn't one switch that,

Okay,

Everything is now great.

I'm in alignment.

I'm following my intuition.

Everybody's in agreement with me.

Awesome.

The path of following your,

You know,

Beginning to understand your purpose,

Calling divine appointment,

Making decisions from a place of intuition,

Making decisions from your vision rather than the circumstances is a path that you step on and then walk,

Start walking on.

It's not the destination.

It's the path.

It's the actual path.

So you get to be the woman who is willing to walk the path of aligning to her purpose more and more each day to a deeper and deeper degree each day.

And that,

And the beautiful thing about being on the path rather than seeking the final destination is that along the path,

Lots of things will and do change.

Your perspective will change.

You will grow.

You will ebb and flow.

There's so many,

You know,

One of the things about working from the space of creatrix consciousness,

And I do mean working like literally like working like a creatrix,

Is this understanding of becoming more self-aware of the cycles that we go through,

You know,

Day by day,

Week by week,

Month by month,

Year by year,

So that we're looking at things from a different space of,

Again,

Not going for the result piece,

Which is more of a masculine way of approaching things and success and metrics and results absolutely have a part of the conversation.

The thing is,

They've had an overwhelming majority of the space in our brains and in our conversation collectively for so long that we lost sight of the fact that the way we've been told to work up until this point,

What's been modeled for us,

May not be in the highest good for anybody.

And so are we willing to reinvent how we show up in our lives and in our work and taking the path of deepening your connection with your intuition is,

I think,

A beautiful and radical act of saying yes to yourself and saying yes to what's possible for so many others.

So it's such a,

Again,

Fruitful and worthy path to be on.

Let's look at intuition not as a final destination,

But as literally a path that we step on or a stream of a water stream that we flow into that we then decide to have that permeate our lives so that we're in a constant state of questions and curiosity and that we're in a constant state of questions and curiosity around what does it mean for me to follow my intuition in this point in time?

You know,

What is my intuition telling me in this moment?

Even the idea of pausing before every decision you're going to make,

Whether it's a really big decision that has to do with your life,

Your business,

Or it's what snack am I going to grab from the fridge or the pantry.

Begin to train yourself,

Your mind to pause and just check in.

And,

You know,

Just check in from the standpoint of like,

We ultimately want to make a decision,

Right?

The decision making is very powerful.

But the pause around what does my intuition say in this moment is a great way to practice that connection.

And the more you do that,

The more it'll become just secondhand,

Like,

You know,

Just like organic to your day to day and your flow.

So,

Yeah,

I mean,

Again,

I'm going to continue expanding on this for sure.

But today I at least wanted to set the tone for why intuition is so valuable and such a worthy and why we're all seeking it.

You know,

It's a question I get asked all the time and it's a request that I hear from my community all the time in terms of I really want to learn how to trust more of my intuition and make decisions from that space.

And I think that's the key.

Like,

If I can help you in any way,

Because this is how also the conversations I have daily,

If I can support you and actually,

You know,

You're already you're listening to some degree to your intuition.

I think the leap for us is actually taking action from that space.

It's in the momentum.

And then,

Of course,

A bunch of,

You know,

Old belief systems,

Triggers,

Obstacles might show up resistance points that tell us why that's not a good idea.

So we get to look at those and then also learn how to dissolve them,

How to begin to move through them and build the momentum from an intuitive space.

And it's such a really cool conversation to have as we are expanding into a whole new way of how we do business,

Of how we build our businesses,

How we grow,

How we prosper,

How we allow our divine feminine energy to impact our decision making,

To impact the world in a very,

Very real way.

I'm all about connecting the cosmic with the earthly,

Like the ethereal with the corporeal,

Your inner drive with your divine wisdom,

Your strategy with your intuition.

And creatrix consciousness is this,

You know,

Sits at that at that sweet spot between those two energies as we bring them together to make decisions that empower us and to light us up in terms of our confidence,

Our visibility,

How we trust ourselves and our ability to make decisions and move in directions of actually doing the things that are in our heart.

And that's the leap we get to take.

So I would love,

Love,

Love to hear from you and what your current relationship is with intuition.

You know,

How do you relate to that deep inner voice?

What are you looking forward to in terms of expanding your relationship with your inner relationship with your intuition?

I would invite you to join me in my free community,

‘Make decisions from your vision rather than your circumstances’ is masterful.
