In this episode, I share why your intuition—not another framework—is the method you’ve been looking for. I talk about how A Discovery of Witches helped me see my own magic more clearly, why 2025 has been a year of intense shedding, and how ignoring your body’s wisdom buries your intuition.

We’ll explore:

• Why templates and scripts eventually become cages

• The difference between intuition, anxiety, and projection

• How to read the body and field without overstepping

• What justice-aligned, sovereignty-first intuitive language sounds like

• Why so many intuitive practitioners feel “over-trained and under-trusting”

If you’ve ever sensed more in session than your modality accounts for—and felt unsure how to use it ethically—this conversation is for you.
