Welcome to the podcast that helps you BELIEVE the UNBELIEVABLE:
not just intuition, spirits, and signs—but also believe in yourself.
You were taught to doubt your intuition. To question your worth. To play it safe and follow the rules someone else wrote. But deep down, you’ve always known there’s more—more to you, more to this world, and more waiting on the other side of fear (and the other side of the veil)
Trust Yourself! is the podcast for those ready to tune into the unseen, reclaim their inner knowing, and boldly manifest a life beyond logic.
Hosted by sisters Elise AKA Sissy (the grounded realist) and Heidi (the intuitive risk-taker), we blend magic with real talk—exploring the places where energy, mindset, and spirit collide. We’ll guide you through the WTF moments of awakening, the side-eye you get when you follow your intuition, and the exact tools we’ve used to stop doubting and start channeling real change.
From past life regressions and synchronicities to navigating boundaries, burnout, and your own damn rebirth—we go there. With laughs. With tears. With unfiltered truth.
We also read YOUR unbelievable stories—because we know everyone has a moment that defies logic, breaks the rules of reality, or proves intuition is real. Everyone has these incredible innate abilities. Whether it’s a ghost encounter, a psychic hit, or a wild gut feeling that changed everything, we share these stories to remind you: you're not crazy, you're connected. The more we tell them, the more we all start to believe.
If you're craving a sign to trust your path, this is it!
It’s your move, Sis. Make it count.
Subscribe and follow now—because your intuition led you here for a reason!!

lalalalal
Heidi (00:02)
Okay, get it out. do it.
For generations, women were shamed for trusting themselves, sensing things before they happened, and believing in their own power. No one encouraged them to embrace it until now. Welcome to Trust Yourself. ⁓
Elise AKA Sissy (00:20)
Last week we talked about what it means to be an intuitive, a psychic, a medium, or all three, right? But today we're going to talk more about how to hone those gifts and give you some fun examples from stories that you have written in. Thank you so much. I'm actually really stoked to get to this part. So, okay. So our goal of reading these stories is just to, to help you see that these are innate abilities.
Everyone has a story. Some are small, some are big, some are Teresa Caputo size, some are like, this just happened yesterday. I had the little hunch that, you know, something is going to happen and it did. Yay. ⁓
Heidi (01:00)
But here's the deal, no story's too big and no story's too small for us to share it. So true. So send in your stories, please. We love this. This is so exciting to read.
Elise AKA Sissy (01:11)
Right. And like I said last week, I was just a girl drawing building details, but yet I could have dreams and get messages from grandparents. Just trust it. Just believe it. Yes. So let's start first with some games to practice because it's really important that we practice this because we're really pushing the limits of our physical and mental beliefs. And usually
Heidi (01:23)
Suspend disbelief.
Elise AKA Sissy (01:41)
We don't believe what we don't see, so we need to practice feeling is believing, not seeing.
Heidi (01:48)
like the magic of Santa Claus.
Elise AKA Sissy (01:50)
That's actually sadly leaving our house now.
Heidi (01:54)
I know. We won't. Don't tell my kids yet. Ooh, they can't listen to this episode.
Elise AKA Sissy (01:58)
Sorry, kids. All right, so tying into that feeling is believing. There's a really, I think it's a hilarious experiment that was conducted by psychologists Daniel Simons and Daniel Levin at Harvard University to demonstrate change blindness. And yes, Heidi, it was done in 1998. However, however.
I think this study, this experiment is still super relevant and it's really funny.
Heidi (02:28)
⁓ my gosh.
Elise AKA Sissy (02:31)
And you know, we haven't changed as a species since 1998.
Heidi (02:35)
much. mean Pavlov still you know that that experiment still sticks so that makes sense. ⁓
Elise AKA Sissy (02:42)
Epilogical
experiment and it's really interesting. So they started this study. I believe it was at a hotel but an individual would approach the counter to check in ⁓ and then a person behind the counter would give them a consent form to sign and As they were signing that form the person behind the counter would duck down to go get something however a different individual would stand up to continue the interaction and guess what?
So many participants failed to notice that they were now speaking to a different person.
Heidi (03:17)
I have seen like similar studies or similar experiments like that and sometimes it's like a man and then it's a woman and it's completely different and they still don't know
Elise AKA Sissy (03:27)
Well, it is a very compelling example of the limitations of our perceptual awareness and how we overlook significant changes when we don't believe it to be true. Like, oh no, it just, has to be the same person, therefore I don't notice it.
Heidi (03:46)
They just bent down and just stood up again. So it's obviously the same human, right?
Elise AKA Sissy (03:51)
So apply this to intuition and we're going to miss so many signs if we doubt or if we assume only what I physically see is really true. So this is why it's really important to just challenge yourself and fun ways to do that are using some games. So Heidi and I do some of these games to practice our intuition and to really hone it. Take what you like. The first one is called feel the text. So anytime you get a text message, if
If you just see the notification pop up on your phone and you don't see the body of the text, just try and get a sense of that text and whether it is going to be a positive or uplifting text, if it's going to make you feel good, if it is maybe a neutral text, or if it's something that's going to stress you out, or if it's negative and really going to bring you down. And just get a sense of it, again, suspend disbelief and see and check yourself. It's a really quick, easy way to
have a feeling, get an intuitive feeling on it and check to see if that was actually accurate. And don't judge yourself if it was right or wrong, but just keep practicing it. See what happens. Another one is the threshold exercise. And this one you can do even in your own house. You can do it when you go to a different building. What it's doing is that every time you walk over a threshold, try and gauge the energy shift in the room because each room may have
a different, like we talked about an energetic soup, a different feeling in that room. Maybe something negative happened in here that somebody just had a really bad conversation and the vibes, the feelings just off versus when you go back to a different office or something, maybe it's a little bit more light and airy. Try and judge the feeling and just notice how it changes with each room that you go into. Then another one is the compass exercise.
So this one's fun if you have a decision that you need to make, ⁓ which I'm really bad at making decisions, so I do this one quite often. It could be a really simple decision. Do I have cake or coffee? Wait, cake or coffee?
Heidi (06:02)
I mean, always cake. And you say, always coffee. ⁓ God, I love cake.
Elise AKA Sissy (06:07)
I want cake and coffee right now.
But if you have to make a decision or if ⁓ there's like a yes, no question that you're trying to answer, visualize a compass in your head and tell that compass, okay, when I see the arrow pointing to the right, that means yes, or that means A in the decision. And if it's pointing to the left, that means no, or that means B in the decision. And then
First, what's really important to do is to let your ego, let your prefrontal cortex decide the decision first. So ask the question and say, okay, logical brain, what should I do? A or B, yes or no? And watch the compass go one way or another because if you let your ego have a voice, then they'll be okay to sit back for a second. they can... Get your ass down.
Heidi (06:58)
sit down and shut up. Shhh.
Spoken now, just be quiet.
Elise AKA Sissy (07:03)
And now let your intuition answer. So then watch again and very carefully judge what your needle is doing in your in your brain as you visualize this needle move watch the very first movement Does it go slightly to the right or slightly to the left? Does it sway the complete opposite direction as your ego? It could do that But take that as your first intuitive hit and then play that out. See what happens
Heidi (07:30)
If
it just sits there and spins around. And then it's like the magic eight ball where it's like, ask again.
Elise AKA Sissy (07:33)
Well then, I don't know.
Could be, yeah. I don't know, I've never had it spin. Great, now it's gonna spin every time I do this. Okay, and another thing is sometimes if people aren't comfortable or don't visualize things very easily, I know it's easier for some to see things in their third eye or in their brain than others. So if you're not one that visualizes easily, try noticing how your body leans instead. So again, the same thing, ask those questions, but notice.
Heidi (07:46)
You're welcome.
Elise AKA Sissy (08:07)
When you ask the question, does your body lean forward or backward and establish a decision for one side or the other. So say, before you do this question, say, yes is forward and no is backwards. And with the very slightest of lean, just feel into your body's gut reaction. What does it want to do forward or backwards? And then another one that we love to do is play psychic for a day with your friends, with your family. And just like I did with Sean, my husband,
Yes, I know almost everything about him, but if you're going to play psychic, ask to receive information about your friend or about your husband that only they know and you don't know and see what happens. See, do you get a visual of something? Do you get a word? Do you get a phrase, a feeling and just let it come out and talk to your friend about it and see what they have to say about it? It might surprise you.
Heidi (09:02)
You know what I was just thinking about back to the study that you were talking about. I just had a thought of, you know, it's almost like a law of assumption. And if you just assume only psychic people can get these things, then you'll never really open up to it. But if you assume that everyone is psychic, maybe then you can actually start receiving things. So just kind of switch it in your brain too of like assume you can instead of assuming you can't.
Elise AKA Sissy (09:28)
% sorry we're starting to say 99 % now because I said 100 % way too much in the last steps.
Heidi (09:36)
99.9
%
Elise AKA Sissy (09:38)
Absolutely,
I agree that that totally makes sense. I love it. So also while you're doing these games, use an intuition tracker and that can be as simple as a spreadsheet, right? Or just mark down
Heidi (09:50)
I'm
sorry, spreadsheet is not simple, Sissy. I thought you were about to say, just use the notes app in your phone, and you're like, it's simple, just use a spreadsheet. We are so opposite. ⁓
Elise AKA Sissy (09:53)
I'm so
⁓
For the type A people that love spreadsheets, it's super simple. Type B, Justin notes app in your phone. Absolutely.
Heidi (10:11)
Yeah, or a voice recorder. That's what I would do too.
Elise AKA Sissy (10:15)
better.
A piece of paper by the side of your bed. Write down the date when you get an intuitive hit. How you got it. What did it feel like? you receive the information as a visual? Did you get a gut feeling? Did you get goosebumps? ⁓ And then what that information was and maybe just some notes like follow through. it play out? Did it actually
lead you to something good or maybe you won't know, but just keep notes on that. And then the more you keep tracking it, the more you're going to start trusting yourself. And again, like these, these intuitive moments are just going to keep happening more often and it's going to be so.
Heidi (10:54)
And then ⁓
Elise AKA Sissy (10:56)
Exactly.
Nice segue, Heidi. And then you can give us these wonderful stories, which we are now going to read because we want you to know that this is for everyone. This first one is from Stephanie in Oklahoma. was driving home and I had this urgent feeling in my gut, like I needed to call my dad right now. We talk maybe once a week and it wasn't our typical day for talking, but I pulled over and gave him a call anyway.
He answered, but something was really off. His speech was slurred. I told him to hang up and call 911. Turned out he was having a stroke. He got to the hospital in time and the doctors said it saved his life. I knew something was wrong before anything happened and now I trust my gut like it's the gospel. That's intense.
Heidi (11:42)
Ugh, that gave me chills.
Man, those little nudges, they make sense.
Elise AKA Sissy (11:48)
Well, and
even little things, like I sometimes get the feeling to call my friend and she'll be like, my gosh, I was just thinking about you, but it didn't save her life, but.
Heidi (11:57)
Well, you can't win all of them. I have one. I have one from Cassie from Boulder, Colorado. She says, kept having the same dream where I was standing in a cabin in the woods looking out at this giant lake. I had never seen this place before, but the feeling of peace was overwhelming. I journaled about it for months. Then one day scrolling Zillow, like we do, there it was the cabin, the cabin. I convinced my husband to take a weekend trip and we ended up buying it.
Elise AKA Sissy (11:59)
Heidi, do you have one?
Heidi (12:26)
I quit my corporate job, started painting again, and now run art retreats from that exact house. That dream changed everything. Ugh, that's like my dream. I want that.
Elise AKA Sissy (12:38)
Cassie, let us know where your art retreats are. I want to sign up.
Heidi (12:41)
I want to go. I'm there. It's amazing. Well, and as you know, we've healed our Colorado aversion. So I'll definitely go.
Elise AKA Sissy (12:49)
All right, this one's from Amanda in Omaha, Nebraska.
15 minutes later, shit hit the fan. This man was standing on my front porch, didn't ring the doorbell, but he was trying to open the door. I froze. He stayed there for about 15 minutes, trying to get in multiple different times, multiple different ways. What the fuck? Terrifying. I called the cops. I'm getting goosebumps all over. He left a sharpened branch, hard candies, and an orange peel on my front porch. The cops eventually came and took him in.
Heidi (13:37)
same. Oh, that's scary.
Elise AKA Sissy (13:47)
And they called me and told me that it turns out he lives in our neighborhood and he is a medicated but paranoid schizophrenic, but sometimes forgets to take his medication. And when he does, he can get extremely violent. He's been called on a few times before. So this was most definitely my intuition screaming at me to be on alert. So glad I locked the door. You imagine.
Heidi (14:07)
Damn, Amanda. you?
Fuck, no, that's absolutely terrifying, but yay intuition. Oh my God. Intuition saves lives, people.
Elise AKA Sissy (14:15)
Intuition for the win!
Okay, another t-shirt. ⁓
Heidi (14:22)
Tuition
saves lives. Who wants to buy that tea? I'm gonna rock it for sure. do. I'll buy it. I'll buy it for myself. Okay, next one. This is called the lavender warning from Danielle in Minneapolis. I never thought of myself as psychic. I'm a therapist, pretty rational, and always chalked things up to coincidence until this happened. A few years ago, I started randomly smelling lavender in my house. It would hit me out of nowhere in the hallway, the kitchen, even the car.
No one else smelled it. I don't wear lavender perfume. I don't even like lavender. I love lavender. But every time I smelled it, it reminded me of my grandma who passed. I started journaling each time it happened just to track it. I even joked that this felt like she needed to tell me something. One night after a particularly strong lavender wave hit me while brushing my teeth, I had a dream about my sister getting into a car accident. It was so vivid, I woke up sweating. ⁓
Elise AKA Sissy (14:56)
I'm
Heidi (15:18)
I called her the next morning and begged her not to drive to work. She laughed it off, but promised to take the light rail instead. That afternoon, she called me really shook up. She'd left work early and saw a huge accident on her normal route. Three cars were involved. After that, the lavender stopped. Just gone. I haven't smelt it since. It could have been a huge coincidence, but I certainly don't think so. That was the moment I stopped doubting myself.
I still don't know how it works, but I now pay attention to the subtleties, the sensations, and the nudges. You go Danielle. Intuition saves lives. I think we need to make it a shirt. That's insane. These are so cool.
Elise AKA Sissy (15:55)
Yes.
They're sisters for real.
These are so good, you guys. Here's another one. It's not about saving a life, but it is just as good. And I might tear up reading it. ⁓ okay. This is from Michelle in Seattle.
Heidi (16:17)
my god, she's already crying.
Elise AKA Sissy (16:19)
It's called the dream that waited 19 years. Okay, I'm fine. I'm fine. You're fine.
Heidi (16:25)
I'm gonna cry aren't I? If you're gonna cry, I'm gonna cry.
Elise AKA Sissy (16:28)
Okay, when I was pregnant with my fourth child, whoo, good job, girl. I had the most vivid dream. So real, it felt like a memory. In it, I was standing on a beach laughing with my husband and four daughters. The sun was golden, the water was calm, the girls were twirling around so happy. I saw all of their faces in detail. I knew they were my daughters. A family of six, four beautiful girls. I woke up.
beaming and told my husband, my God, it's a girl. saw her. She's so beautiful.
Heidi (17:02)
⁓ I'm not crying, you're crying.
Elise AKA Sissy (17:06)
But, spoiler alert, it was a boy. A beautiful baby boy, and I was a little confused, but I loved him fiercely, and of course I couldn't shake that dream. I even felt a little guilty for mourning a version of our family that never came. I packed it away and chalked it up to pregnancy hormones.
Heidi (17:26)
Yeah, they got some weird ass dreams when you're pregnant, so...
Elise AKA Sissy (17:29)
Yeah,
flash forward 19 years. My fourth child, my boy, came up to us and explained that he was transgender and that he would now be a she, that she'd always known that she was finally ready to live as the girl. He's crying.
Heidi (17:46)
It's okay. I love it.
Elise AKA Sissy (17:49)
that she was finally ready to live as the girl she is inside. ⁓ The moment she told me that that old dream hit me like a tidal wave. I saw her face and suddenly it all made sense. Today, I'm looking at a framed photo sitting above our fireplace, our whole family standing on the beach, arms wrapped around each other, four beautiful women, one deeply proud dad, and me, the mom who knew all along.
Heidi (18:18)
Okay, we are not using this clip video because we are just blubbering over here.
Elise AKA Sissy (18:24)
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, not out of sadness, but out of awe. Intuition is real. It's not just a gut feeling. Sometimes it's a whisper that stays with you for two decades, just waiting to be understood. I trust it now more than ever. Michelle!
Heidi (18:41)
Michelle, so many hugs. I just want to like have a cry hug circle with you because not of like sad tears again, like just these happy tears. is so cute. I love that. Okay, you saved like the most emotional for last, which I'm glad because I don't think I could read anymore after that. ⁓ That was amazing, you guys. Thank you so, so much for sending those in.
Elise AKA Sissy (18:51)
In awe. ⁓
Heidi (19:07)
Please continue to do so. Email us stories at trustyourselfpodcast.com. Link is in the show notes. Send us a DM or email us. It doesn't matter. Either way, we'd love to hear your stories, big or small, long or short, whatever you'd like to do. But this is something really fun that I hope we get to continue to do because I think everybody is gonna like hearing these, but you can really help somebody, right? Just you write in one story and
a listener will hear it and maybe that is what they needed to start trusting themselves or maybe they have a very similar story and then it gets them to open up and talk about it. So you never know who you can help with your stories but I truly believe sharing stories is how you help other people.
Elise AKA Sissy (19:52)
Well said, Heidi. I totally agree. So now I think it's time for our Tarot
Heidi (19:59)
Okay guys, let's see what we've got. What is our energy of the week? What do we need to focus on as a collective?
Elise AKA Sissy (20:08)
My energy is on intuition, saving lives.
Heidi (20:12)
Seriously, my energy this week has been on Divine Feminine and just really engaging in that. I got a new goddess necklace, the goddess Yamaeya. Gosh. Or Yamaya. I'm just totally saying that wrong. It's Yamaya. But yeah, Divine Feminine, Mother Goddess of the Ocean. Definitely. Anyways, so we got a few cards that came out. All right, so we got four cards. Okay, let's see. this is beautiful, actually. So the first card...
that we got was the Emperor, which is all about focus and stability. And the deck that I'm using has animals on it. And this is a cougar, right? That's a cougar. All right. So, you know, focusing on stability, to me, it's also showing a lot of power, like your own inner power as well. ⁓ And then three of acorns, which is the traditional three of pentacles, which is shown as a giraffe here.
Elise AKA Sissy (20:50)
good guy.
Heidi (21:08)
all about foresight and exploration. And this one, like giraffe is my spirit animal. So to me, it always is about kind of leading with your heart, but holding your head high and having enough foresight and vision. Cause you know, your giraffes are the tallest animal, right? So they can, they can see for miles and miles. So to me, it's all, it's, this is my intuition card. So this is telling me we need to focus on our intuition, hold ourselves tall and go forward with our heart.
And then we got the Sun, which is beautiful, all about vitality and joy, represented here by a hummingbird. It's a beautiful card as well.
Elise AKA Sissy (21:47)
Isn't that also a yes card? Like if you have a decision, it's like, yes, do it.
Heidi (21:52)
It is a yes card. Absolutely. And it's all just about that joy and then feeling that happiness and that light inside of you. And I love that we're ending this poll with a transformation, this transformation card. It's number 13 represented here by a cicada. Obviously cicadas, they go hibernate for a while and then they come out, they transform, they shed their skin, all about transitions, liberation.
So to me, this is all saying like own your power, tap into your intuition, let your joy shine and watch how you transform. So, ooh, I just got chilies again. Goosey!
Elise AKA Sissy (22:32)
And speaking of transformation, you're watching on YouTube, you can see Heidi's wearing a butterfly sweatshirt, which I just realized.
Heidi (22:40)
Yes, radiate ⁓
Elise AKA Sissy (22:46)
anyone's looking for a butterfly sign. This is
Heidi (22:48)
That
you guys, transformation is happening on such a massive level. I can just feel the shift of all of these women starting to embody this divine feminine power. And it's not necessarily to like take over and just be like women everything. think it's. I'm OK with that too. But I like what I've been hearing and what I've been talking to other people about too is like.
Elise AKA Sissy (23:05)
just because. No, I'm okay with that. Yeah.
Heidi (23:13)
The divine masculine has been out of balance for a little too long. And so now we're kind of all being called to bring in that divine feminine and just get into balance. Like we don't have to fully, you know, take over, but you know, let's just balance some shit this way.
Elise AKA Sissy (23:27)
And if we take over, we take over because we're pretty cool.
Heidi (23:30)
And I think that's okay too.
Elise AKA Sissy (23:32)
Well sis, the best way to help our sisterhood grow is to share this episode with someone who you love, who you think could really hear something like this at this time. Maybe it's your sister or your best friend, your mom, someone who's going through a tough time and may need to hear this. Text this episode to them right now. And also don't forget to send us your stories. We'd love to hear them. Until next time, it's your move sis.
Heidi (23:55)
Make it count Bye!
