Are You Actually Gaslighting Yourself?

Have you ever had that feeling that something was trying to get your attention? A nudge. A song. A strange coincidence. A plan that keeps falling apart. That happened to me in a BIG way recently. I was in Boston with my husband during a huge nor'easter and was trying everything I could to leave early. My train was canceled. Then my flight was canceled. And underneath all of it, I kept hearing: Julie, stay. It made absolutely no logical sense. But I stayed. And at dinner that night, I ended up sitting next to a woman who I would not have pegged as being into anything spiritual, yet she casually looked at me and said: "Julie, you're so intuitive." That one comment opened the door to an incredible conversation about her near-death experience, the spirit guide she's been communicating with for decades, and eventually... a message about my own spirit guide. 🤯 I couldn't have orchestrated any of it. And that's really what this week's fireside solo episode is about. Your intuition is speaking to you ALL the time. The question is: Are you paying attention? I also share something much more vulnerable about my mom, an emotional pattern I finally recognized in myself, and the surprising way my body seemed to be saying, "Pay attention." And at the end, I pull a couple of cards for this final season of 2026, and one of the messages gave me chills. I think you'll understand why when you hear it. 💗 My hope is that this episode helps you trust your own intuitive intelligence a little more, because knowing what you want is one thing. Having the courage to listen to what's calling you and actually live it is another. What keeps trying to get your attention?   Takeaways Trust your intuition even when it doesn't make sense Ground yourself through meditation or nature to hear your guidance Process emotions fully without over-analyzing or self-criticism Pay attention to signs and symbols in daily life Community can amplify your intuitive growth and support Kindness and self-compassion are vital for spiritual progress Your inner guidance is always speaking, listen actively Let go of attachment to how things should look or unfold Your power lies in honoring your true self and intuition Small signs like signs, songs, or symbols can be powerful guides   About Your Host, Julie Reisler Julie Reisler is a heart-led intuitive guide, TEDx speaker, author, and host of The You-est You® Podcast.
