Intuition is always speaking to you in subtle ways. Are you listening?

Intuition isn’t a gift that is only bestowed on a special few; everyone can strengthen this muscle—how loudly you hear these signals, and the trust in yourself to take action on the information you’re receiving.

In the comments of a recent ‘D🤦🏻‍♀️h post, Claudia asked:

I read your words “all-in on myself” and how you consciously cho(o)se to believe that the Universe was/is redirecting you, and can’t but think “Jenny’s so in tune with her intuition. No matter what comes, she has this trust muscle that allows her to keep going, to keep betting on herself and her ideas” and I wish I was “better” at it. Is this something you’ve gotten better at with practice? And is there any advice that you would share with us here about how to cultivate this way of being?

In this two-part solo episode, I’m sharing eleven strategies that have helped me build (and trust) my intuition at increasingly subtle levels. As always, I would love to hear from you! How do you practice the skill of following your intuition? Leave a voice note for a future listener-submission episode at http://itsfreetime.com/ask.

📝 Permission

Trust your intuitive hits, even if you do not have a verbal or rational explanation (yet!) to validate the “memos” or make sense of your insights. Oprah says, “Your life is always speaking to you. It speaks in whispers guiding you to your next right step.” Are you listening? What is your life whispering to you right now?

✅ Do (or Delegate) This Next

Review your intuition history: Reverse engineer previous intuitive hits and the action you took; times you listened, times you didn’t. Times it “worked,” and times it didn’t — even then, you don’t always know what the bigger picture might have been. How did your intuition speak to you in these moments (a whisper, a feeling, an image)?
