Bonnie Casamassima:

Hello, and welcome to the Intuitive by Nature podcast. I'm Bonnie Casamassima, and it's incredible being here with you. In this series, Celeste Page Sample and I are gonna be chatting about all things intuition. What it is, how people connect with it, and how it can be so much more than we've often let ourselves believe.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our 6th and final episode of the Intuitive by Nature podcast. It's so great being here with you and very excited to dive into today. And before we jump in, I wanna say hello to you, Celeste. And how's it going?

Celeste Paige Sample:

Hello. It is going splendid. It's a beautiful spring day, and I'm really excited to be here, as we transition from this beautiful journey into something else. Yeah.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Absolutely. I feel like I'm human for the first time in a while, now that the spring is coming back and our warm weather is coming out. I mean, it makes so much sense. Like, we are nature as humans and it's spring is

Celeste Paige Sample:

our New Year. Exactly. Yeah. Our natural New Year. Yeah.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Well, I'm so excited to jump in to today's episode where we're gonna be unpacking some final key findings from the intuition research projects. But before we do that, I thought it would make sense if we recapped a little bit of where we've been along this journey as we dive into those final ones. So to kick us off with it, I know there's a lot of stuff that we've talked about throughout the series. Right?

Celeste Paige Sample:

Mhmm.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And the first one, as a recap, is that intuition comes in many forms. And I know, Celeste, you and I talk about this a lot and what we saw throughout the research. It comes in so many different ways, right, through vivid dreams, deep knowings, gut feelings. It's pretty powerful.

Celeste Paige Sample:

That's right, Bonnie. And alongside talking about how intuition comes in many forms, we also talked about fear of judgment, and these other feelings that come along with exploring your intuition, talked about lack of self trust and even numbing.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Yeah. Absolutely. I know that was a really big one. You know, people talking about it was so overwhelming at points that they turn to things like overworking or recreational activities or kind of fill in the blank for numbing all the sensations because their intuitive sensations were a little overwhelming. That's really interesting how we also talked about the flip side of that, how as people develop that intentional relationship with their intuition, it most often followed their commitment to their self growth.

Bonnie Casamassima:

So along their journey of really tuning in to, you know, different, healing modalities or different therapeutic practices along their journey of stepping more fully into their self growth, their intuition came online more strongly in that process.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Right. And we also found how having a supportive community was essential to intuition being attainable for a lot of our participants.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And building on that, we learned and talked a lot about how intuition is a practice. So while innates are built in already inside of us, it is something that we found in the research that can be deepened throughout people's journey through practices like meditation or those moments that allow that connection with themselves.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Right. And all those key findings really painted a picture of a really pretty journey that was somewhat typical. Wasn't the exact same journey for everyone, but it definitely presented itself in a way that's very cyclical and easy to see. But we did have 2 findings that were bit of outliers.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Yeah. And those were ones that we saw pretty consistent I don't wanna say pretty. We saw very consistently throughout the research and are in addition to what we've already talked about. And that's what we're gonna be diving into today. Without further ado, let's jump into those 2 final key findings as we round out our series.

Bonnie Casamassima:

The first one we're gonna be diving into today is all around how we found a connection with people's intuition shifting throughout their life. So different ages showed different key experiences most often. The second one is how people's environments had an impact on their intuition connection journey. So these environments, maybe they were physical, such as homes, offices, workplaces, etcetera, or social, personal relationships, their external environments. We'll dive into both of those as we go into today's conversation.

Celeste Paige Sample:

So, as I mentioned a little while ago in the recap, there was somewhat of a cyclical journey for a lot of participants. And although that's not true for everyone, everyone's journey is different and unique. One thing that was very clear was a correlation between shift in connecting with intuition and the participants' age. The shifts didn't always happen at the same age brackets. We talked about roadblocks.

Celeste Paige Sample:

We talked about, you know, connecting and building your own self growth. Like these moments happen at different times through life, but there was always a shift. And even though all around, the shift was something similar to an accordion or a rubber band, we talked about that yo yo And before, when we talked about practices and coming back and being led to practice and moving in and out of practices, we saw a similar trend when it came to how age affected people's ability to connect or even willingness to connect with their intuition. So one of those key moments was in childhood where a lot of participants felt that being able to connect with their intuition was just normal, which is a part of their awareness, whether they were connecting clairvoyantly or whether they were just aware of everyone's emotions. It was not something that was taught to them.

Celeste Paige Sample:

It just was.

Bonnie Casamassima:

That was such a big trend of what people shared, Celeste. I've got a quote here that articulates that so well. And the participant shared, quote, as a child, you don't think of these abilities as abilities. You don't think of them as special. They just are you, end quotes.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I feel like that really synthesizes it wasn't so much that they thought about these abilities. It just was how they connected with their world around them, both internal and external at a young age.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Right. And that's why I feel like when they spoke about, it's defined or put into the context of quote, unquote, normal because it just was.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Yeah. It just was.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Very foundational.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Yeah. And, again, you know, as you mentioned

Celeste Paige Sample:

earlier, Celeste, this wasn't necessarily everybody's experience, but it

Bonnie Casamassima:

was a very, very, wasn't necessarily everybody's experience, but it was a very, very big trend that we saw. I'll share another quote here along that lines. The participant shared quotes. When I was a child, information would come through and adults would ask me for advice. I'd always be a counselor.

Bonnie Casamassima:

It comes a lot of different ways. Sometimes it's in knowing. Sometimes I see things, end quotes.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Lovely echo back into intuition comes in many forms.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And to keep on with the childhood awareness, I've got another quote for you. Quote, I could see spirits as a child. I'd see swishing out the corner of my eye. Orbs in my room at night. I shut off my gifts because I was afraid of it.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Mostly because I had no guidance, because I didn't know anyone else who had these abilities, end quote.

Bonnie Casamassima:

That's really fascinating and leads us to that next pattern that we saw within how intuition shifted throughout age. And while we saw a prevalence of people talking about their intuitive connection being just was them, was quote, unquote normal in their childhood, we saw over and over and over again how people talked about during their teen years or preteen years, so that kind of 11 to 14 ish years old, how they shut down their abilities, either from not having support, knowing what these abilities were, being too overwhelmed by them, or a deep desire to want to fit in to those, again, quote unquote social norms around them within their peer groups. One experience that was shared in the research, and I'll paraphrase here versus a specific quote, is a research participant talked about how in childhood, they were very, very open, and then they experienced a really rough divorce situation, and they shifted from being homeschooled to going into a prep school during that transition around their teen years. And in their adolescence, those teen years, they shut everything off. And it wasn't until their late teens or early twenties that they found that intuitive connection opening back up when they were doing other healing work to work through some of that trauma that they experienced in adolescence.

Bonnie Casamassima:

So really beautiful journey and experience talking about those trends.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And I think we just look at life, you know, retrospectively, our own journeys in life. I think it makes sense, these trends. When you're a kid, you're very open to everything. You're opening and learning everything. Your imagination is just booming, you know, and you get to those teen years, and I believe that it's the first time in life.

Celeste Paige Sample:

We really started to question ourselves and how we're seen and start thinking about how we want to be seen. So it really makes sense for those to be years where you become aware of, oh, everyone's not seeing orbs like I am, you know. And then, well, how does that make me feel? Who do I wanna share that with people? You know, so it it feels very, natural for this

Bonnie Casamassima:

Mhmm.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Up and down, for this accordion, this in and out, this flow of questioning your relationship with your intuition as you age. And we even see that again further in the next section of life where college years was another shift.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Especially in when we're looking at that shift throughout life, like you're talking about, Celeste, it makes so much sense. And when we look at things like developmental psychology, right, we're we're seeing this similar pattern happening. So while maybe people in teen years aren't talking about experiencing deep knowings or seeing squishes or orbs or connecting with their loved ones who have passed away, it doesn't mean that they're not experiencing it. It just means that they're not talking about it as much or at least they weren't talking about it as much. So, again, these are all people that we interviewed that were adults over the years of 18.

Bonnie Casamassima:

So there weren't people that were actively teenagers with it. So we wanna put a little note there, because we are starting to see anecdotally a little bit of a shift in younger generations being more open to this. But for the sake of our container for the research findings and unpacking it, these are people that were in their adulthood that were talking about their experience in reverse with it. So this is absolutely a trend that we saw. And to pick up where you were talking about, Celeste, in those college years, so even if people weren't, going to college, so those years of kind of 18 ish to 25 ish.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Right? We did see that reconnection trend of tuning back in to their intuition or tuning back into their inner knowings. And, you know, when we kind of pull back, it makes a lot of sense because this is often a time in people's evolution in their life when they are able to have, you know, more freedom, more individual expression. Maybe they're living on their own for the first time, and they're able to really tune into, okay. What is it that I'm drawn to?

Bonnie Casamassima:

What is it that I'm interested in outside of the constraints or guidelines of my home of origin, for example?

Celeste Paige Sample:

Right. And then those college years, it wasn't explicitly stated. However, it wasn't for that that reconnection was more internal. Mhmm. And our participants talked more about a very intentional reconnection in adulthood.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And I'm thinking specifically about one participant who shared, quote, I was around 38 years old at the time. My teacher said, oh, you're an empath. I didn't know that word. I ran home and read about it on the internet. And as I read, I felt so seeing what this is me end quote.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And that's just such a beautiful example of this narrative we heard and saw unfold with this very intentional and and action driven, you know, decisions to become connected. The research I talked about doing just defining what is empath and what does that mean?

Bonnie Casamassima:

And how so much of this was lived experience, like, they talked about in childhood. It just was. Mhmm. And then later on, they realized, like, oh, there's words to this. There's a framework to this.

Bonnie Casamassima:

There's research around this. I think that was a really beautiful opening within the conversations and interviews is it was something that was part of people's experience, and then they realized, oh, this is actually a thing, and this is what it's called. And now I'm gonna devour all the resources I can around it to to understand that connection.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And, Bonnie, I don't wanna get lost in the weeds here, but as we're talking about age trends and we're talking about how our we saw our participants become more and less connected to their intuition. I do wanna honor that throughout all of these moments and these transitions, it's it's always a part of you, whether you are fully connected, partially connected, not sure of the connection. It's always there.

Bonnie Casamassima:

You know, Celeste, you're talking about intuition always being there reminds me of this quote that someone shared. They said, quotes, from a very young age, I knew and felt a lot. I just knew. I knew when people were sad. I knew when I wanted to do something, I was gonna When I was young, I was alone a lot, but I never felt lonely.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I used to go out in the woods and have picnics by myself and I'd stay out there for hours and feel like I was with friends. They also shared that around age 10 11, they shifted from that trusting into more of a self doubt, which then led to a disconnection from their intuition. You know, Celeste, it was really fascinating seeing how people talked about their connection with their intuition shifting throughout different age experiences. And while often many people talked about, in their teen years, shutting down their connection because they didn't have other people that they can talk to about this, or maybe it wasn't honored or supported from the parental figures or adult figures in their world. There were a number of people that talked about how these abilities were supported during their childhood.

Bonnie Casamassima:

There's one that really stands out to me here that I'd love to read, and it goes, quotes. It was very accepted to know things and see things as a child. When my grandfather died, he came to me in the middle of the night and said he was okay. It's okay to cry. I woke up and ran into my mom's room saying, mom, grandpa died.

Bonnie Casamassima:

She did not wanna believe it, but she supported me. Then the phone rang, and my father left and went to my grandfather's house. He had died in his chair the night before, end quote. This is such a a big experience for someone to share, and I am so inspired by the beauty at which the mother was able to hold that space for the child's experience even when it wasn't something that she was wanting to be true.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Yeah. This this was a very powerful one for me, and it's interesting. I think I might have blocked it out a bit while we've been doing this work, because I definitely remember that story in the research. This and it's it's also there's something about the fact that it's coming up in this episode where we're talking about age and the connection to intuition, and this experience being shared from a child's perspective. For me, this is very personal because I lived this very similar experience, but in adulthood.

Celeste Paige Sample:

When my grandmother passed,

Bonnie Casamassima:

I

Celeste Paige Sample:

knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I felt it. I felt that she came to me.

Celeste Paige Sample:

I felt so overcome with the most beautiful amount of joy I have ever felt in my life, which was totally out of the blue. I was in my room.

Celeste Paige Sample:

I was laying down. I think I've shared before on this platform that I have a chronic pain disorder.

Celeste Paige Sample:

So I'm literally in a pain episode, and I'm suddenly overcome with contentment and joy, and I feel good, and I'm smiling. I'm like, what is happening? And then my phone rings. And I'm like, I knew she was there with me. Like, I knew she was there with me, but it what it didn't click that she was there with me because she was transitioning.

Celeste Paige Sample:

But, yeah, then the phone rang and it's like, grandma's gone. And I'm like, I know because she just said goodbye to me. You know? It's a weird place of I felt so privileged to have that moment, but also, like, you know, following after, like, oh my gosh. That means you're not here anymore.

Celeste Paige Sample:

So so, yeah, this was a very profound, quote and and story to share, and I'm so grateful for this participant sharing this story. Again, because it it empowers me to share my story. And again, it mirrors what we're talking about here, and this child being connected and me being, you know, reconnected as an adult intentionally and sharing these experiences, it's it's overwhelming in a very beautiful way.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Thank you so much for sharing that and for sharing what that experience was for you and feeling that deep knowing and then also the the overwhelming sensation of connection and love. It's powerful how these abilities can, while very, very different than knowing our loved ones in physical something while overwhelming at times, a really beautiful way in which they were able to stay connected with loved ones, when they transitioned from, you know, their physical form. It's really powerful. Thank you so much, Celeste.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Are you okay? Bonnie, are you okay? Okay.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I'm, like, so good. I think it's so beautiful. I'm, like, I'm tearing out now. It's like, that's beautiful. I just I'm, like, I'm so shoot.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I'm, like, so touched at the power of this connection that when the research is showed over and over, we all have. Like, we all have these really beautiful, overwhelming abilities to connect with so much more than we've often let ourselves connect with. Yeah. I absolutely get emotional with it, just at the vastness of the connection

Celeste Paige Sample:

Mhmm.

Bonnie Casamassima:

When we give ourselves permission to connect with it. It's really powerful. So thank you for asking. And, yes, I'm just a highly sensitive intuitive feeling all the emotions over here. Alright.

Bonnie Casamassima:

We are now jumping into the final finding. And this is all around how people talked about their environment and their surroundings impacting their connection and their processing of those intuitive experiences. So let's start to unpack this a little bit more. Celeste, we kick us off.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Yes. And I have to say, I love that this is our final finding and we're wrapping up this series about intuition and it's it's 2 interior designers talking about environment. I mean, come on. What better way to end this whole journey than in environments? And to that end, you know, our participants really talked about, or really shared about the difference of city environments, you know, these spaces we live in, and also nature.

Celeste Paige Sample:

It was very much a distinction between the 2, nature versus city. And when I say city, I'm not I'm not picking them on my city dwellers. We're we're not doing that. We're not throwing any shade anyone's way. We're just painting a a picture literally, like, if you visualize nature, you're probably thinking of trees and forests.

Celeste Paige Sample:

If I say city, then you're gonna think of abundance of buildings and people, and that's literally the distinction we're making here. Our participants shared about the noise and, you know, clustered feelings that come with being in heavily populated areas, whether it be work or home, and what that did for them and their connection to their intuition, versus how they felt and when they how they were able to connect when they were in nature, when there is an opportunity to ground and connect with literally the plants and the birds and the bees. Like when we talked about, practices and taking walks in the forest, you know, really that distinction of those two extremes.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Yeah. What was really interesting with this is it was more about the characteristics of their environment, so be it physical or, you know, such as their homes or their offices or natural environments. It was really around you know, to to echo what you were talking about, Celeste, it was about how they felt in those environments. So did they feel a sense of calm? Did they feel a sense of connection with themselves, or did they feel a sense of overstimulation because there's a lot of people moving around?

Bonnie Casamassima:

It was a little bit harder in spaces where there was more stimulation to really call out the noise, the clutter, the energetic, density

Celeste Paige Sample:

Mhmm.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And tune in to those whispers of their own internal knowing and that intuition. I've got a quote here that I think is really helpful, and the participant shared quotes. I noticed that the environment with no natural light and being around electronic equipment, the negative energy was really affecting me. I found that my training in natural healing was very helpful in my coping and the negative external environment, end quotes. And we love and we love it.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Right? So, again, like, we're not we're not dissing on the city dwellers and saying, everybody go move into the woods or go move to the beach, though that sounds lovely. What we are saying is that people share their environment directly impacted their experience, and they through their practices, you know, going back to our last episode, they were able to really mitigate some of those nor negative experiences within their environments through practices such as, you know, grounding, meditation, finding quiet pockets, going on walks in nature, etcetera.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And along with those spaces, our participants also shared that being in community and in connection with highly intuitive people was also supportive. And that felt more like it didn't matter if it was at work or a place that was very noisy per se. Right? It was more about being in close proximity to other highly intuitive people.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Yeah, Celeste. One thing that was really fascinating with that that it wasn't so much about not ever being around people or being around the city spaces. It was more about choosing what environments made people feel connected and supported versus shut them down. One person shared quotes. Something else I notice is that the more I'm in a high frequency environment, you know, things like lots of meditation, high vibration people, high energy environments, the more sensitive and connected I am with my intuitive knowing.

Celeste Paige Sample:

There was also another participant that talked about going on a trip that was really helpful for them. So I wanna bring that one up. Quote, recent trip to Peru was extremely helpful being in a highly energetic space, regular meditation and being around others doing intuition work daily was incredible for my expansion, end quote. I've really, really loved that. I think that really sings exactly what you were talking about just now, Bonnie, in these these spaces.

Celeste Paige Sample:

I also think about environment being my internal landscape, my energetic landscape. And we did have participants speak to that, you know, when they talk about people and relationships. I'm thinking about this one participant who shared with us, quote. I need to be very aware of who I spend time with more time around radiators versus absorbers in quote. That one resonates with me so much because even if for me personally, if I find myself in those high congested, you know, lots of visual stimulation, lots of auditory sounds and things going on.

Celeste Paige Sample:

If I'm with the right people that I can kinda plug into energetically, then my personal environment is good, and I'm still able to connect with my intuition.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I so resonate with that and completely agree. You know, I can be highly sensitive to a lot of simulation and, you know, pulling and when I'm traveling, for example, or or at the airport, for example, you know, I'm pulling out all the stops. I'm working on my breath work. I'm listening to calm music as I'm walking through. But if I'm if I'm with the right people, like my family, for example, my chosen family, then I feel very grounded.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And, you know, Celeste, you're talking about how they described as radiators versus absorbers reminds me of another quote someone shared around how they noticed the big shifts in how their environment impacted them and the people within those environments. Quotes. I just sort of learned over time that some things suit me and others don't. I thought I was just an introvert, and I was kinda down on myself about it. But now I realize I'm an HSP, a highly sensitive person, and I'm super connection focused and super chatty as long as it's aligned with my energy.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I'm always way more comfortable in the background versus public speaking. Your house party is my idea of a living hell, but I love that for you. The concert has to be one that I really resonate with the music. I can literally feel the music move through me, End quotes. This one really, I felt like, summarize how that journey of, you know, being highly sensitive or highly in tune with your environments and what people shared throughout the research about how they would sometimes beat themselves up over it.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Like, why can't I just quote, unquote be like everybody else? But what kept coming up over and over in the research was how people who were more in tune with their sensitivities, with their intuition, did have a heightened sense of how environments impacted them and an awareness with them. And they can use this awareness to, if they still had to be in those environments, you know, what practices could they do to set up themselves for success? Maybe it was more time to kind of peel away if they love live music. Like, for me, I love live music, and I also feel everybody around me when I'm in that music venue.

Bonnie Casamassima:

So for me, it's really essential to, you know, sit in my car before going into the concert venue and taking a few deep breaths, kind of grounding into my own energy. So when I go into these public spaces with a lot of people and a lot of stimulation, I'm really anchored in myself in that grounded presence, and it allows me to just have a much better time with it.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Yeah. I love how this part of the conversation about environment feels like it's gone full circle back into really honoring the truth in that description of a highly sensitive person because you are highly sensitive.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Mhmm.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And it it seems to be an un spoken understanding that when you are intentionally connected and are consciously intuitive, that you are extremely sensitive to your environments. 1 of the participants described it as a secondary sensory system within your body, and I love that because it was that was their way of describing intuition, and how they received it. And I I I absolutely love that because that's exactly how it feels. And what we've been talking about today and wrapping up with environment, like I said, just feel like it's come full circle, and I really love that.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Yeah. You know, I'll use my example. I love live music. I love dancing however my body wants to move. It's very meditative for me.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And, before really knowing how all of this was working, it was very, very overwhelming. Right? Mhmm. So it was this it was this kind of tear of, oh, I love this thing so much, but I don't quite know how to do it in a way that isn't completely draining for me.

Celeste Paige Sample:

Yeah.

Bonnie Casamassima:

So looking at tuning into it in a way that is really empowering and acknowledging, like, what is it that you need, you know, if you do enjoy these larger spaces?

Celeste Paige Sample:

Exactly. And whether it be kind of a energetic pregame,

Celeste Paige Sample:

like you described in your car,

Celeste Paige Sample:

or like me and my post be kind of a energetic pregame like you described in your car or like me and my postgame. It's really important for me to have a place to discharge all energy. Like, I can walk into almost anything as long as I know that I can totally discharge it all.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Oh my gosh. Absolutely. That reminds me of one other specific example that I'll share from life is, my partner and I, we really love throwing parties. We love, like, creating connection points where, like, all these people from all walks of life are coming in and seeing that magic happen. So we can we can throw some pretty large house parties.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And, we're really intentional, parties. And, we're really intentional to make sure that there are spaces for gathering and connection and music and then throughout. So maybe there's, like, a little seating areas outside or, you know, one of our workspaces or offices, home office is a quieter space. So there is this ecosystem of different types of environments for either that energetic pre gaming or that, energetic discharge, to use your example, or that nervous system down regulation. And people have come up to us and share, like, how supported they felt because of those different types of environments that were created.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I didn't even know that I was so overwhelmed until I went and sat down in that calm space upstairs with the calm music and the lower lights, and then the whole world was good again. It's really wonderful. Celeste, it's been really wonderful looking at the patterns around age trends as well as how environment and surroundings impacted people throughout their journey. One final thing that people shared frequently in the research, and I think really ties back to ultimately our why of the podcast. We can consider this almost an added bonus finding here is people shared how they really wished they had more resources to support them on their intuition and that connection when they were

Celeste Paige Sample:

younger. And I wanna point out that we're calling this a bonus finding because we had one question at the end of our open discussions with each participant where we asked them, what else do you wanna share? And nearly everyone had the same sentiment of, I wish I had resources or I want there to be resources for younger people, or I want to encourage parents of young people to be more open. Like all of the responses were so centered around having available resources. And so, like you said, this was our response to that.

Celeste Paige Sample:

This podcast, literally this journey was our response to how do we honor that? How do we share this amazing journey that we've been on? How do we share the opportunity we've had to hold space for our participants and do our part to create a resource.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I think this quote that someone shared some set up beautifully and they shared quotes. I just think about how different a life I would have had had the people in my life accept my abilities from a young age. My hope is that people will open their minds a little bit and, at the same time, their hearts will open too. I feel like this quote really synthesizes what our overall hopes and intentions were in creating and sharing this podcast in the first place. The podcast very much was a desire based on the powerful findings that came out of this research around people's journey connecting with their intuition, following so many similar patterns of each other.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And it's our intention to support that expressed desire to add with more resources in sharing these abilities.

Celeste Paige Sample:

We want to respect and do the utmost justice we can to the incredible experiences we were honored to witness throughout this research.

Bonnie Casamassima:

And in honoring those sacred experiences, our hope is that sharing this synthesis helps to open the door just a little bit more to a broader audience to have a little better understanding of some of our shared humanity and experience around connecting with these intuitive abilities that many shared we all have innately within us.

Celeste Paige Sample:

And at the very least is our hope that you realize you are far from alone on this journey. Oh my gosh. That's it. We did it. That's it.

Celeste Paige Sample:

That's all of it. That's all the key findings. That's all the discussion. That's that's it. Can you believe it?

Celeste Paige Sample:

I I'm kinda can't believe we're at this point already.

Bonnie Casamassima:

Oh my gosh. I cannot believe that we're already here. It's really incredible. I think this is a really important spot to share our immense gratitude for this project and the honor of getting to share it in the world. I wanna make a special note to thank all of you who were part of this research project for sharing your experiences and your journey.

Bonnie Casamassima:

I also wanna thank all of you listening along, our community, for joining and following us throughout this journey. It's been really incredible being here with you and getting to share this in our beautiful world. So as we come to a close, remember to follow what resonates with you, and lovingly dance on past the rest.
