Welcome to Your Soul Called. More joy. I'm Nicole your host and in this podcast we're going to talk about what it takes to create a life that feels deeply aligned from the inside out because so many of us women especially have become disconnected and just drowning in the pressure of everyday life. I'd like to help you get reconnected with your intuition remember your value learn how to love yourself deeply from the inside out and realign with your soul with the deeper calling inside of you. I'm so happy you're here let's dive in!
Nicole:10 signs you've been intuitive all along. So today we're going talk about intuition. It's one of my favorite topics. And for the longest time, I felt like something there was something more there was something bigger I couldn't explain it I didn't understand like what like I spent so much time just trying to understand what was going on why I could feel things differently why I felt so sensitive why I felt different and I finally figured it out so today we are talking about 10 signs that you've been intuitive all along. How do you how do you know that you are more of an intuitive person and how do you start with that?
Nicole:Where do you even go with it? So first of all, intuition is something that everyone has. It's not because I'm special. It's not because I was born seeing visions or anything like that. It's a part of being human.
Nicole:I don't believe that intuition is a gift that only a few select people receive. We all have it. Everyone has it. The main difference is that some people seem to have the volume turned up a little bit louder. They're more sensitive.
Nicole:They're more aware. They're more connected to what others might miss. And for those people who are naturally more sensitive, who we have the opportunity to develop and grow our intuition further. It's like a muscle, right? You're not born being able to walk.
Nicole:You have to learn. You have to practice. You have to fall. You have to try new things. You have to be willing to see things differently.
Nicole:And the more you learn about it, the more you practice it, the stronger and better it gets. That's the same thing with intuition. So we might be born feeling a little bit more sensitive, more drawn to this spirituality type of things. But when you think about intuition as a whole, it's more than just a gut feeling and it's not just born being psychic, although some people might be that way. That's not the way I fell into intuition.
Nicole:It was more like, I feel like there's something more. I don't know. And I started to learn more about it. I started to practice it. I started to try different things out.
Nicole:And the more I leaned into it, the bigger it grew. But today, I want to spend a little bit of time on uncovering sort of the starting point, signs that you are naturally and incredibly intuitive, stuff that I've noticed since I started hanging out with a bunch of intuitive people, and I've been training with all these intuitives. There's stuff that we all seem to have in common, and these are the things that make you really, really special, really unique, and they're gonna make you exceptional at this kind of work that, you know, developing your intuition. So here are 10 signs that you're incredibly intuitive. Number one, you can feel the energy in a room.
Nicole:So when you walk into a room before you even say anything before anyone says anything, you kind of pick up on what's going on. You can feel tension. You can feel excitement. You can feel sadness, discomfort before anyone says anything. You can tell who's mad.
Nicole:You can tell who's uncomfortable. You can tell who's being authentic and who's not. You can feel who's secretly judging you. You can feel who's secretly judging someone else. You can feel all these things, and you can't explain it.
Nicole:You just feel it. You notice it. You can't not notice it. You're just picking up on this subtle energy, and you can't not pick up on it. It's just there.
Nicole:You feel everything, and you probably feel it deeply. That's the way I've always been and it made me feel uncomfortable in places because I felt the need to fix. So I felt like I needed to fix the person that felt uncomfortable I need to help them out I need to make them feel okay I felt like if one person was sad or if someone in the car or a group of people and someone in the car was sad I couldn't not feel that and I couldn't not pay attention to it. So, being able to feel the energy around you is a huge sign that you're incredibly intuitive. Okay.
Nicole:The second sign is that you're a natural empath. So, you may have already looked into what an empath is and you feel connected to that but I remember first discovering the idea of an empath and I was like, oh my god. That's me. But what it means is that you don't just understand other people's emotions, you feel them. Literally, in your body.
Nicole:So, when you notice that someone else is sad, you're not just noticing it. You're not just aware of it, but you actually feel it in your body, which is crazy. And so that's why it's so hard to ignore. You can't you haven't yet learned how to shield yourself or block it out so you're picking up on everybody else's feelings around you. If friends are sad you feel sad.
Nicole:I mean I would even be able to feel physical pain so if somebody was you know, got into an accident or something and had a broken leg, I would feel that. Like, not physical pain in my body, but it affected the way I felt inside and I didn't know how to deal with it. And it made me feel very uncomfortable all the time, but that's actually a really, really special thing that you can pick up on all of these feelings, on pain, on emotions, and actually feel it in your body because you're extremely perceptive. You can pick up on things that other people aren't even aware of and that's going to actually be a gift. It's something that makes you extremely special and super unique.
Nicole:The next thing is you know things before you should and you can't explain them and you don't know how you know things. You just do. So you'll have, like, a gut feeling about something, like, something's about to happen, or the phone's about to ring, or I know I should stay here because a parking spot's about to open or I'm gonna win that contest if I enter it right now. I know I am. Those are some of the gut feeling stuff that I have, but I've always had these, like, knowings, and I don't know how to explain them.
Nicole:I just know. And you'll start to trust them more and more, and you'll feel what it feels like to know that you're right. And people explain it as it being a gut feeling, just a knowing, but that is part of your specialness. It's it makes you incredibly intuitive. You just have this knowing with within you and it's your intuition talking to you.
Nicole:So, the more you become aware of that and you start to lean into it and pay attention to it because it's often very, very subtle. It's just this knowing and your brain, your human self will question it and you'll be like, wait, that doesn't make sense. But you know that that it does because it feels right. Trust that. The more you trust it, the more it comes, the more it opens you up.
Nicole:The next thing, number four, the fourth sign that you're incredibly intuitive is that you are highly sensitive. So, you're probably sensitive to sounds, to loud sounds probably bother you. Messes probably bother okay. These are the things that bother me and make me have actually been beneficial to my intuition, but I thought they were a problem before is that I'm sensitive about everything around me. So loud sounds, messy spaces, bright brightness, big energies.
Nicole:So people that have really big energies, I it's hard to be around uncom like, uncomfortable situations. You are highly sensitive to it. Unhappy people, you're sensitive to. You're just highly sensitive to things. So you need this calmness around you that you have to create because you are just picking up on everything.
Nicole:Colors, sounds, you know, everything that's around you, situations, people, places, things. And that is a superpower. But until you learn how to use it, it feels like irritation under your skin. Like, I can't have too much noise in my house and this is hard because I have three boys who are very, very, very loud. And, a lot of times they have their boyfriends over, and my house is filled with energy, which is fun, but it is hard for me to, like, separate out, and I like my quiet spaces.
Nicole:I need to regroup and come back to myself in quiet. So, that's another thing is you feel like you need to reconnect to yourself alone in quiet in nice clear energy because you're so sensitive to all these energies, sounds, colors, people around you. Okay, number five. This is super interesting and something that I always noticed. I started realizing that this was something that was happening to me all the time.
Nicole:And when I've talked to other intuitives that I've become friends with and other people that I know are highly intuitive, they all have the same thing. So number five is people tell you all their problems. And it it's so weird because it'll be random people. Sometimes, you don't even know them or you barely know them. And the next thing you know, they are pouring out out their heart to you.
Nicole:They're telling you about their divorce or, you know, something that happened that's extremely personal. And, of course, you like listen, you open up your heart, you're there for them, and this is like random person at the park. Right? This or it'll be like someone that's close to you, and they'll start telling you these secrets, all this stuff that you're like, I don't know if I should know this, but it just happens over and over and over again. People will tell you things that they've never told anyone else.
Nicole:And they'll say things like, I don't know why I'm telling you this, but blah blah blah blah. And you'll start to notice that this is happening again and again and again. And it's because they can feel that you can feel them. You get them. You create a safe space for them.
Nicole:You are wide open to the energies of the universe, and there's this caringness about you that draws people in. It makes them feel safe with you. So you become this safe emotional place for people everywhere. That also is a superpower when it comes to being an intuitive. But until you know that, it's kinda crazy.
Nicole:Like, I have had people at soccer games literally barely know them, and they start spilling their guts to me about how, you know, they're going through a divorce with the coach and nobody else knows it and how he cheated on her and blah blah blah. And all of a sudden, I know their whole entire personal history and and then she she'll catch herself and be like I don't know why I just told you all that and I'll reassure her that it's okay but that's how people feel safe around you they will just tell you everything that's that's a great sign and it's something that is a gift. Okay, sign number six. I'm sure if you've gotten this far, this is one you can definitely relate to. It's being called too sensitive.
Nicole:So you'll have teachers, parents, I don't know, coaches. People call you too sensitive and you've probably spent years feeling like it's a flaw. Like, means you're too shy. You're too fragile. You're not strong enough.
Nicole:You're not tough enough. But, really, what I've learned, you know, since getting into intuition full on is that sensitivity is never too much. It's not that you're too sensitive. That is what makes you really, really, really great at this. It is your gift.
Nicole:Your sensitivity allows you to notice very subtle shifts in mood, in underlying emotions, in things that other people overlook, in things that other people can't see. You're gonna pick up on it when other people wouldn't. So there's no such thing as too sensitive. I mean, it's perfect. Your body, your senses, your soul was built perfect for this one thing.
Nicole:And being too sensitive is a gift. It's something that is going to help you. It's something that is there for you. It's something that's always been there for you, and it's probably a soul gift. So don't take it anymore as feeling like good too sensitive is a bad thing because it's not.
Nicole:It's an amazing thing. It's what allows you to be incredible at this. The seventh sign is that you feel naturally drawn to wanting to understand emotions in yourself and in other people on a very, very deep level. So you start questioning everything. Like, why do they do what they do?
Nicole:Why are they thinking the way they think? Why do I think the way I think? Why am I feeling this way? What does this mean? How is her trauma related to the way she's acting and feeling?
Nicole:You start getting super curious about emotions and feelings and what's going on with human perspective and, you know, how emotions are related to self worth and all of that stuff. You start really thinking about what's underneath the surface, what's happening energetically, emotionally, spiritually. And you can't not want to go deeper with everything. You're just naturally very curious about all of this stuff, and you're drawn to understanding it on a deeper level. Okay.
Nicole:Sign number eight. This one is something that I I used to feel bad about, but now I see it also as a gift and a superpower, and I see it in all the intuitives that I've been around. You care deeply about everyone and everything about you. You can't not. Like, you can't not notice.
Nicole:You can't not feel it all. You can't help yourself, but just be you know, your heart is wide open all the time, and you feel drawn to helping people. You want to help people because you care so deeply, because you feel so deeply. You're the kind of person that rescues an injured bird or brings home that lost dog or consistently checks in on the friend that you know isn't doing so good. You shower people, animals, you know, your garden with extra care and love because that's who you are.
Nicole:And the issue isn't that that's a bad thing. It's that we give out so much of ourself to everyone else because that's who we are. We wanna help people. We wanna give back. We want everyone to feel good, to feel loved, to feel cared for.
Nicole:And the problem is that we don't often know how to give that back to ourself because we're so selfless. We're so wanting to give that out to everyone around us. We also need to learn how to protect our energy, how to shield ourselves, and how to not take in everything and how to give that back to ourselves. So that is one of the things I've learned through intuition training. But the caring so deeply about other people, that is just a natural instinct.
Nicole:You've probably been like that since you were a kid. You are the friend that everyone goes to. You're the loving one. You're the giving one. You're the one that takes care of everybody else.
Nicole:Probably your parents too. And that is a superpower. It's something that is going to make you, you know, an incredible parent, an incredible mother, an incredible friend, incredible wife, all these wonderful things. But you also need to learn how to give it back to yourself because if you're giving so much out and keep giving out and keep giving out, your bucket gets low quick. And learning how to refuel it, how to fill yourself up, how to shield yourself, how to bring your energy in is something that you'll need to learn.
Nicole:But it's actually a really wonderful thing that you care deeply about everyone around you and that you want to help everyone. It is a magical superpower. K. Number nine. Sign number nine that you are incredibly intuitive is that you've probably felt drawn to spirituality your whole life.
Nicole:You wanna know and understand how it all works. You're endlessly curious about, you know, energetics and spiritual teachers and being present, and you've probably found yourself connected or drawn to reading books or watching YouTube videos or listening to audios from teachers like Wayne Dyer, Abraham Hicks, Eckhart Tolle, Thich Natham, you know, all of these amazing teachers that have gone down this spiritual path, feel connected to. You get intrigued by it. It makes you excited. Like, I can remember just back when borders existed, finding the spirituality aisle and just being like, oh my god.
Nicole:This is this this is, like, so amazing. I just wanna read all the books. I'm gonna read all these books, and I'm gonna read all these books, and I'm gonna read like, there. I could not get enough of it. I could just buy book after book after book and emerge myself in, you know, learning about all of these energetic works, how the world works, about manifestation, about horoscopes, about, you know, learning all of this whole spiritual path that other people could care less about, I I could not get enough of.
Nicole:So if you fit have felt drawn to spirituality on this level and you're just curious about that world, you're probably also incredibly intuitive, and you're finding your way back home to something that you you knew in previous lifetimes to a part of you that kinda got lost. You're reconnecting to it. You're re you know, feeling these knowing these understandings that you forgot that you knew, and you're coming back to it. And that's the magical thing about intuition is like everything starts making sense. You're like, oh, yeah.
Nicole:This is how it works. This is why I feel so drawn to this. This is this is all starting to make sense now. I don't feel so disconnected, so lost, so not, you know, enough. I'm starting to feel like this is exactly what I was put here to do.
Nicole:And this is why I know that I didn't know why I felt connected to all of these teachings, these teachers, but it was opening up parts of me that I had forgotten, parts of me that got lost, you know, parts of me that were always a part of me, and intuition was always a part of me. I just needed to reconnect to it. Okay. Now number 10, the tenth reason why you know that you are incredibly intuitive is that you've gotten this far, and you are listening to this podcast, listening to me ramble on about reasons why you know you're intuitive. What that is telling me is that you are meant to be here, that there's a pool.
Nicole:And if there's a pool towards this world, towards understanding how it works on a bigger level, towards learning more about intuition than it's meant to be, then this is a part of who you are. Because most people have absolutely no intuitive sensitivity, and they aren't spending their Friday, Saturday, Sunday listening to a podcast to see if there's an are an intuitive. They don't care. But if you you feel connected to this, you're like, oh, yeah. That's me.
Nicole:That's me. That's me. That feels like home to you on some level, then you probably are, you know, a natural intuitive, and it's probably worth your time to to look into it a little bit more. And the reason why I am recording this podcast is because for a long time when I first started my spiritual journey, I didn't understand where to go with it. I didn't know what to do with it.
Nicole:I knew there was something more. I knew that there were all of these teachers and teachings and understandings about how the world worked that I was drawn to. I could tell which were true and which weren't. I had, like, a really good ability to decipher through bullshit, and I knew I could feel things that other people couldn't feel. But I didn't know what to do with it.
Nicole:And it wasn't until I started really working with other intuitives and developing my intuition on, you know, on this level that that I felt like, oh, this is this is what I meant to do, and this is why it all makes sense. And everything started making sense and falling into place, and I felt so much more connected to my soul soul calling in a way that I didn't before. So intuition, it's not about having psychic visions, predicting the future, or having a crystal ball, which is what I used to think intuition was all about. I used to think, oh, if someone were to say, I'm a trained intuitive, they would be like Tyler Henry, like a psychic that just sees things and is like, oh, you. You're going to get divorced in two years, and you're gonna get hit by a car or blah blah blah.
Nicole:But it's not really like that. Intuition, I mean, maybe it can be, but in my experience, intuition is a lot more subtle. It's about remembering how deeply connected you are. It's about renoticing that connection. It's about celebrating it and seeing it as a gift, a superpower, and not something that's bad or too sensitive or not good enough.
Nicole:It's it isn't a part of you that's weird or too woo woo or bad or, you know, something that should set you apart from a group and and make you not a part of everything else. It's actually the best part of you. It's what makes you special. It's your gift. It's here for you.
Nicole:It's who you always were, always have been, and you just forgot. And you're just finding your way back to it. And congratulations because that is amazing. It's so awesome that you found your way back, and you are starting to reconnect with this part of you that's been lost for a little bit. And you knew it because it felt like something was missing.
Nicole:It felt like there was something more. It felt like there was something bigger, and you were right because you're always right. You always know. You know in your gut, and you just need to trust that a little bit more. So it's this intimate knowing, this wisdom inside of you that's always been speaking to your entire life.
Nicole:And it's time right now to start connecting to it again. And the more you lean into that, the more you open up to it, the more you get curious about it, the more you get back from the universe. Because the universe, god, source, energy, people, everything around you is constantly communicating to you, and you are going to learn to trust what's coming in. And the more you trust it, the more you celebrate it, the more you acknowledge it, the less you make it bad, the less you push it away, the more it opens up. And it's really a a magical thing.
Nicole:So I thought this was going be really short but ended up being almost thirty minutes. So sorry! I ranted on a little bit but I wanted to give you a feel for what it feels like to be a natural intuitive and if you've related to any of this this is probably a big part of who you are. And I'm so happy you're here, and I'm so glad you get to celebrate this a little bit more in upcoming episodes. I'd like to talk a little bit about how to shield your energy, how to cut cords, how to deal with, you know, big energies around you so that you aren't constantly being pulled in all these energetic directions, How to use your intuition, how to to trust it more, how to open it up more.
Nicole:And if you're loving this kind of stuff, definitely follow me on Instagram. I'll link it in the show notes. And that's it guys. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I will see you again next week.
Nicole:Bye for now.
