Your soul called - are you ready to answer?
Welcome to Your Soul Called. A podcast for those feeling like there's something more. More alignment, more purpose, more peace, more connection, more joy. I'm Nicole your host. Each week we explore the invisible things that shape our lives.
Nicole:Our intuition, our energy, our emotions and the lessons we came here to learn. Through personal stories, meaningful conversations and practical tools my hope is that every episode helps you trust yourself a little bit more, love yourself a little deeper and remember something your soul has always known. So without further ado let's dive in! Week I shared how I became an intuitive, my journey, how I ended up in this place where I could talk to animals and do intuitive reads but after recording that episode I kept thinking what if people listening are like okay Nicole but how do I know if I'm an intuitive? So today I want to show you something I think your intuition has been talking to you all along and you just haven't realized what it was because I know in my journey I didn't understand it either.
Nicole:I didn't understand how to tell what was intuition and what wasn't so today I'm going to talk about 12 ways your intuition has been talking to you all along. Number one: a quiet knowing so not just a thought it's like just this knowing it doesn't make any logical sense you just know and you can't explain why it's just a quiet knowing if you can relate this sounds familiar like oh yeah I've had that that's your intuition right there so for example when I first met my husband I knew he was the one within the first week I knew I want to say even like from the first time we actually spent time together I knew he was the one I knew he was different I could just feel it I just knew couldn't explain it didn't actually say this out loud I just knew I also had this knowing when I got my dog Kaia and if you're following me on Instagram you see a lot of her because she's so cute but she when I got Kaia she's a golden retriever she my husband was like we're not getting a puppy no way we had three kids in three years we had just gotten through like the hardest part of raising three little kids our life feels chaotic a lot because we have three boys they're very close in age there's always way too much to do it feels like there's never any time our house is always a disaster and I was like I'm getting a puppy.
Nicole:He was like no no no no no no and I I put my name on the puppy list and I got a call from the lady saying puppies are born I showed him and he was like no no you better not do this and I just had this like feeling inside like well if I go there and I touch all the puppies I know you're gonna be like yeah everybody feels this but this is not what it was okay I knew that I could go there and I would know because I've always trusted this knowing inside of me when I know I know I've been very very sure about that for as long as I can remember I know things and when I know them I know them like that's the kind of knowing that I'm talking about anyway I went to go see these puppies and I was like carrying each of them and I was like no no no and I was totally fine totally willing to just walk away without a puppy even my kids were with me and I was gonna be like you know if doesn't feel right it doesn't feel right plus I was already going against him he I mean obviously you're gonna get into a fight over this and then I picked up this puppy and she just sank into my arms and I knew I just knew she was meant for our family and before I even got there I told God I told source I was like tell make this clear I need to know for sure that it's right and I'm not going to leave unless I 100% know and I knew I knew it when I picked her up I didn't have any question no hesitation I just knew and it's the same feeling I had when I knew when I met him that knowing so when I brought her home I definitely he was like what the fuck Nicole yeah and we got into it but then he fell in love with her he's so in love with her it's the best thing that's ever happened to our family she's perfect for us she's so easy she's the best but it all started with that quiet knowing so that's the first one that is your intuition talking to you that knowing number two your body speaks first so goosebumps when you get goosebumps that's your intuition when your chest tightens up when your stomach feels heavy you have that like when you get butterflies when you have a feeling of your heart expanding and opening up that's your intuition when you have a feeling of peace that's your intuition your body is constantly communicating to you it's always talking to you and you need to pay attention to your body and what it's trying to tell you everything that happens to your body is constant communication of your intuition talking to you and starting to learn how it's talking to you paying attention to what it's trying to say is using your intuition so next time you get goosebumps next time you feel that pit in your stomach pay attention be like oh what does that mean?
Nicole:Know your body's always speaking to you it's always communicating to you that is your intuition talking to you. Number three: you keep hearing the same message from different people you keep hearing it on different podcasts you keep opening different books keep pulling the same tarot card you keep listen hearing over and over and over the same lesson and it's because it's meant for you it's on purpose that is in your intuition is like hey man pay attention this it's going to keep happening over and over and over until you get it so sometimes like it can be good and it can be bad but it's always teaching you something it's always there for you it's always trying to communicate something to you that is going to help you it's your soul talking to you it's telling you to pay attention to this message because it's there to guide you so an example is like I in my early 20s had bad relationships on repeat over and over and over and it wasn't because I had a bad picker though my sister would disagree it was because there was a lesson there that I needed to learn and I hadn't learned it yet so I it didn't matter if like I just ended the thing with the one crappy guy I was gonna meet another one who was gonna be so hot and perfect and then he was gonna treat me like crap again and I kept on meeting the wrong men over and over and over until I learned that lesson and that was for me it had to keep happening I had to learn how it wasn't outside of me it was inside of me I didn't need something from an external source to be enough That was the lesson I had to learn with that and once I learned that lesson then right after that I met my husband so it was just kept happening over and over it was like on repeat that was a message from my intuition being like pay attention this is something that is important this is a lesson your soul came here to learn.
Nicole:Number four: you can't explain why something feels off but it does it just feels off right the job the relationship the house the business nothing is really wrong but it doesn't sit right it doesn't feel good doesn't feel right like it's supposed to be there it feels like something's just off and you can't explain why that's your intuition talking to you pay attention! Five. Something feels surprisingly easy we're taught to trust struggle but intuition it feels light it feels easy it feels peaceful and the things that feel easy to us the things that like you're just naturally gifted at that feel surprisingly easy and simple and you love doing those are our soul gifts that is our intuition being like hey this is something you were put here in this body on this earth in this time to do something that you know like for me it was art it was intuition was you know helping people it's something I've always been really really good at it's always felt easy it's felt like what I was meant to do those are things pay attention to those are things that you are meant to do they are your soul gifts that's your intuition being like hey I set you up with this talent that nobody else has this is what makes you so special and this is why it's so easy for you you probably aren't even paying attention to it you're like oh yeah that's easy I don't you know that's I just do that well not everybody just does that that's so special and it just yours those things that feel surprisingly easy that your intuition saying hey this is your soul gift number six you feel drawn to someone For no reason you just keep thinking about them.
Nicole:You meet them and you're like oh I like this person. I like hanging out with them for whatever reason they're meant to be in your life. You might not understand it might not make sense but they're there for a reason whenever you feel drawn to someone and whether that's in real life whether it's a teacher a podcast host or you know something that you stumble upon you feel drawn to this person and you feel like you need to learn from them or you need to be with them or like you need to hang out with them that's because you've got something to learn from them and that's your intuition telling you pay attention like this is here for a reason Number seven you can't stop thinking about something. It just keeps popping into your head you're like keep thinking about it and thinking about it like kind of can't get rid of it. It's like a business idea or a move like a big change you feel like you need to leave and you can't like let that go maybe it's a dog you feel like I need to get this dog and I can't let it go maybe it's the country like you need to leave the country and you don't know why you just feel it maybe it's you can't stop thinking about this book that you picked up it just like sits with you in this special way sometimes repeated thoughts about something is inspiration it's guidance it's like your intuition telling you listen up this is something that's important this is something that's special this is something that is here for you For example, I remember a time where I was like could not stop thinking that I needed to start my own business.
Nicole:Just knew and it was something I had to do. I had to have my own business. I had a good job, I was getting paid well and I couldn't let it go. I kept thinking about it, kept popping into my head. Had to do it.
Nicole:That was my path. I was supposed to have my own business. I did end up leaving and building my own business but it was something that was I was meant to experience it was part of my soul's plan to have my own business. I've always known that and my soul was not going to let it go. It wasn't going to be okay with just working for someone else.
Nicole:It was just going to keep popping into my head until it made me so crazy I had to do something about it and if I didn't do something about it it was going to push me to do it which is exactly Number eight your curiosity just won't leave you alone. Pay attention to what you suddenly become curious about or obsessed with. Is it plants? Is it horses? Is it astrology?
Nicole:Like for me it was understanding the universe. It was healing. It was the spirituality aisle at the bookstore. Whatever it is for you. Maybe it's knitting.
Nicole:Maybe, you know, it's massage I don't know whatever it is whatever you're super curious about pay attention to it because curiosity is often pointing you towards growth it's your intuition saying hey this is going to help you to grow in some way! Nine- You keep on delaying something. It's not always a bad thing if you're delaying something that's usually your intuition helping you on your path in this perfect timeline. We can be so hard on ourselves sometimes in saying like oh I know I have to do this, I have to do this, I have to push myself to do this but maybe it's not time yet, maybe the universe is setting you up in some way you can't see yet and sometimes procrastination it's not fear right sometimes it's just not time yet because when it's time you're gonna get pushed to do it trust me your soul like is gonna push you over the edge you're gonna have to do it but if you're not there yet if you keep on delaying it maybe there's lessons there still to learn and your intuition is like okay something's holding you back right that's your intuition number 10 your dreams feel different okay I'm not talking about all dreams but some dreams they just feel different and they just stay with you for years and you remember them so clearly those dreams are part of your intuition they're part of your connection to energy they're there for you they're telling you something so like for example I used to have this crazy dream where I was being shot in the head and it would wake me up and I'd wake up screaming in my sleep and my husband would wake me up and be like WAY UP!
Nicole:WAY UP! Because I would be screaming and this crazy weird sound would come out of my mouth and he'd have to wake me up and pull me out of the dream and this has happened my whole life. I never understood what it meant but it was actually when I got into this whole intuitive world training my intuition we learned how to do past lives reads and somebody one of my classmates did a past life read on me and I had actually been shot in the head in a previous lifetime and that energy was still in me and I hadn't released it and once she gave me tools to learn how to release all of that I've been holding on for lifetimes I was able to release it and I stopped having those dreams which was crazy because I've had them my whole life and I've always had people wake me up telling me I make this shrieking crazy screaming sound in my sleep and that you know that was a part of me of my soul so dreams are important pay attention to them they're always telling you something they are part of your intuition number 11 you feel energy around different places.
Nicole:If you really tune into your body and start feeling the energy around you in different spaces it feels different. For example, some homes just feel warm, some feel heavy, some rooms feel heavy, some beaches feel healing, some feel overwhelming, some forests feel alive. Different spaces hold different energy and if you start paying attention to how it feels in your body in different spaces you'll be able to feel the energy in that space and really take it in and experience it that's intuition and last but not least number 12 You become less interested in proving yourself. If this path is meant for you you have probably found yourself becoming way less interested in proving yourself to other people that's intuition. You're no longer chasing validation you're listening inward you're starting to pay attention to yourself to what you need to what you're feeling to how your energy is picking up on everything that's around you and you don't need to prove anything to anyone Not anymore.
Nicole:This is different. This is you starting to use your intuition in a real way. This week I want you to become an intuition detective. Don't try to be psychic I'm not expecting crazy out of you. Just want you to start paying attention.
Nicole:Notice what your body says. Notice who pops into your mind out of nowhere. Notice when you get that hunch to do something. Start paying attention to what you're feeling. Notice what keeps repeating.
Nicole:Notice when your heart feels open and when it feels closed. Notice what feels heavy. Keep a note in your phone and just track it and then at the end of the week go back and read it and I have a feeling that you'll discover that your intuition has been talking to you far more often than you've realized and it's been with you all along because as I said previously intuition isn't something that I have because I'm special I'm not special we're all born as you know intuitive beings our human bodies were built this way they're so incredibly receptive we can pick up on everything we are like antennas we are magical and it's hard to explain like how much power we have in these abilities and we were just never taught to pay attention to them so listen to how your body is talking to you, start paying attention to little things that pop up during the week, keep track of them, keep a little note in your phone and then at the end of the week check back and see how all of this has been communicating with you and once you start paying attention a little bit then you get more and more and it starts opening it's like a muscle that you're training at the gym you don't just show up and you can't just like do a 95 pound snatch.
Nicole:I don't know if that makes sense to you because I do CrossFit but you can't just show up and like lift a heavy weight without training that muscle it's something you need to practice over and it's the same with intuition the more you practice the more you pay attention the more you open up to it the easier it gets the more it talks to you the more it shows you the better you get at it so that's what I have for you guys today I hope you found this helpful and have a great weekend I will see you next week bye for now
