Have you ever been smacked with a profound truth that turned your life upside down?
This very thing happened to me in late 2016. I was trying to go to sleep one night, and I suddenly had a vision of my heart (this was before I knew I was psychic). I saw my heart tied up in knots that were getting tighter and tighter by the day. And then I felt the pain of it.
It was like my heart was telling me, “Hey, I’m here, and you’ve been ignoring me. Look at what you’ve done!”
It was true. I had never acknowledged I had a heart that had feelings, or frankly, any other part of my emotional system.
I had shoved down my emotions for so long that I was completely numb to it all.
Is it safe to be me?
About 3 months later, I was at a conference. One of the speakers was talking about how to help your employees feel safe to share their opinions and themselves.
Something happened in that moment.
I had the thought, “Forget work. I don’t feel safe to speak up or to be me at HOME.”
Whoa. I believe now that my throat chakra was raising her hand here and telling me that I had lost my voice, and with it, I’d lost my sense of self.
Shortly after this, I began making plans to move out and start over again.
Even though I hadn’t trusted my intuition when it showed me the relationship red flags seven years before, I at least trusted myself enough to get out of the relationship now.
And when I did get out, I never looked back. It was such freedom.
It’s [not] “cool” to be a zombie
When we numb ourselves, suppress our emotions, and stop trusting our intuition, it’s like our inner compass goes dormant.
It takes something big to recognize what’s really going on around us, because we’ve been settling for s#!t for so long.
It’s not your fault. It isn’t like society teaches us how to trust ourselves. In fact, it teaches the opposite.
Our society as a whole doesn’t want you to know what is best for you, because then you can’t fit in a box. We’re often taught to shove our emotions down deep.
So many people go through life like zombies, doing what they think they are “supposed to do”, living for everyone else but themselves, and faking a smile…while also numbing out with tv, alcohol, and worrying about the drama of everyone else.
But that’s not you. Or if it is now, it doesn’t have to be anymore. I have a solution to completely transform your life. But let me tell you another story first.
My heart in knots (I made this long after my actual experience).
Flies on the wall
In 2021, I was working at a job that was, for a time, my dream job.
I kept telling everyone, “I love my job” and that I thought it was so amazing. There were a lot of pieces of it I really did enjoy, especially the people.
But after a while, something started happening to my body. I was getting panic attacks, debilitating stomach aches, and I felt anger seeping out of my pores. I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Looking back, I know this was my inner guidance system screaming at me! But I wasn’t in tune with that part of myself enough to know what it was saying.
I started getting these other signs, too. If you know me, I’m very in tune with animal symbolism. For months, I started seeing (and hearing) buzzing flies everywhere. On the windows on the 12th floor office, landing on people’s faces, and always landing on me. Buzzing flies means you’re not paying attention to a message. I couldn’t figure out what the message was, though.
Finally, after I got a new boss at work, I really realized what was going on. I had to leave my job immediately. The dream job was up, and it was time to move on. I put in my resignation and relief hit me like a ton of bricks.
Even though I didn’t know what to do, I let spirit guide me. I found contract jobs, kept doing social cooking events as a side hustle, and made it work. When I finally let go and trusted my intuition, life started flowing again.
Okay two more short stories to illustrate the point.
Leaving my office job felt like jumping out of a plane all over again.
I didn’t know what I was going to do, but I figured it out one step at a time.
Your body can sense danger
When I was online dating several years ago, I was talking with some guy on an app. He asked me out and wanted me to meet him somewhere I’d never been.
I agreed, but shortly before the date, I got this really strong feeling that he was not who he said he was. If I went, I would be putting myself in danger. I trusted my gut and cancelled.
I never found out who he was, but I knew it deep in my core that it was the right move.
What’s fun isn’t always fun
I love this workout class called Buti and always have an amazing time. A couple weeks ago, I was signed up for a class, but my intuition was telling me I didn’t need to go. I was feeling a heaviness in my gut, which was surprising.
I went anyway for the exercise. Almost immediately I realized why my intuition had been firing off.
The class started late, and everyone was paired up with the friends which made it awkward because I was alone. I was squished into a corner. It was hard to move fully, and I didn’t have as much fun. To top it off, I felt like I didn’t even get a good workout this time.
I left feeling like, “yeah, I didn’t need to go to this.”
A small example, but a powerful reminder that our inner compass knows what’s right for us!

“Wow, this meditation brought some much needed and, dare I say, bad@$$ relief! Not only did I meet my throat chakra, but she was a warrior, and she stood strong and tall, and she was very brave. [In the meditation], she courageously said and did what she has been yearning to but not knowing how to do for so long.” – C
“[During the meditation], my dad and mom both showed up. But then my middle school track coach, who I actually really liked, showed up. He told me ‘you are a lot better at things than you think you are.’ I guess it was related to not getting picked for many of the track sports.” – E
“My chakra was dripping wet – subdued, skinny, frail. I was not able to identify the 3 people although I still thanked them and released them. The only word that I kept feeling was “Love”. I also did get a slight sense of writing more and speaking less. I am incredibly outspoken and don’t usually hold back my words – unless I’m really angry and then I do because I don’t want to say something I’ll regret later – so maybe that’s the point – learning how to still say the words in a better delivery.” – M
