How to harness your empathy, recognize your intuitive gifts and trust yourself when a decision gets uncomfortable: You make a decision, and it feels clear. Then someone gets quiet. Someone disagrees. Someone might be disappointed. And suddenly, you're questioning everything.

Is your intuition telling you something has changed? Are you feeling anxious? Are you picking up on someone else's emotions? Or has honoring what you know simply become uncomfortable?

If you're deeply empathic and intuitive, those experiences can become tangled together.

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle explores why learning to harness your empathy can be an important part of developing a clearer relationship with your intuition—and why you may not need to receive more information nearly as much as you need to discern the information you're already receiving.

You'll explore how intuitive experiences can be subtler than their dramatic portrayals on television, why you may trust your intuition professionally but second-guess it in your personal life, and how other people's emotional reactions can feel like evidence that you've made the wrong choice.

Brenda shares a personal decision involving family commitments and POWER, along with a participant's realization that knowing what to do doesn't necessarily make taking action easy.

In this episode:

• Why intuition doesn't have to resemble what you've seen on television.

• The difference between receiving information and discerning what it means.

• How other people's emotional responses can complicate your decisions.

• Why professional confidence doesn't always translate into personal self-trust.

• Four questions to explore when you're second-guessing yourself.

• How practicing discernment may help you recognize your own intuitive information more clearly.

• Why POWER includes a full year of practice and three live cohorts.
