S2 EP16: When to Trust the Nudge & When to Let Go - Intuition, Boundaries and Discernment

If you’ve ever had a gut feeling about someone else’s life and wondered whether to speak up or stay silent—this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, I cover one of the most essential (and nuanced) practices for intuitives, sensitives, and impact-driven humans: how to trust your inner nudges while staying grounded in discernment and respect. We explore why your intuitive hits matter even when they’re not “right,” and why protecting your energetic boundaries—especially when it comes to other people—is a sign of intuitive maturity, not fear.

Whether you’ve had a dream about someone else, received a spontaneous download, or just want to deepen your self-trust without causing harm, this episode will guide you back into your centre.

In this episode, I explore:

• What neuroscience tells us about gut feelings (and why they’re real)

• How intuitive self-trust is like training a muscle—not about being 100% right

• Why not every intuitive message is meant to be shared

• The difference between emotional discernment and energetic projection

• A 4-step process to handle intense intuitive downloads

• How to hold space for others without trying to solve or forecast their lives

• The quiet responsibility of living in a quantum world of infinite possibilities

• When (and how) to ask for consent before sharing intuitive insight

If you’ve ever struggled with how to navigate:

• A dream about someone else’s future

• Receiving intuitive information without being asked

• Feeling responsible for others’ outcomes

• Discerning what’s yours and what isn’t

…this episode offers grounded, real-life guidance for honoring your sensitivity without overstepping your role.
