Have you ever come through something difficult and felt like you had to just carry on, even though you were forever changed by it? You kept going — for your family, your work, your responsibilities — but deep down, part of you wondered if the strength you built in silence counted for anything. If it mattered. If it meant there was more waiting for you.
Here’s the truth: It absolutely does. In fact, some of the most powerful breakthroughs come not from pushing harder, but from pausing, tuning in, and asking:
“What is my deeper wisdom trying to show me?” There is a moment when you realize they haven’t lost yourself… you stopped
listening. You can reconnect with your own innate knowing and intuition. The deeper wiser part of you that is always available.
What Is Intuitive Guidance?
A great way to learn how to trust yourself in any situation. It’s not a mystical experience reserved for a chosen few. It’s practical, natural, and completely human.
It’s that gentle nudge that tells you when something feels off — or when something lights you up for no logical reason.
It just requires a willingness to listen and trust yourself.
Let’s Begin with You: A Practical + Intuitive Reset
- Reclaim Your Resilience
Start with a “Resilience Inventory.” List three difficult experiences you’ve come
through. Then beside each one, write the qualities you drew on — courage,
patience, problem-solving, empathy. These are signposts to your inner strength. - Use Your Body as a Compass
Your body responds before your mind makes sense of things.
Ask yourself: Does this feel light or heavy?
Does this feel like relief, or like resistance?
Intuition often speaks through the body — in sensations, not sentences. - Notice the Nudges
Is there a word, image, or phrase that keeps returning?
A book you keep meaning to pick up.
A topic that won’t leave you alone?
These subtle nudges often carry guidance that your logical brain hasn’t yet
caught up with. - Journal With an open mind
Ask: “What does my wiser self want me to know today?”
Then write freely for five minutes without editing or censoring.
Trust what flows.
Insight often shows up when we get out of our own way. - Honour Your Emotions
Feelings aren’t here to derail you — they’re messengers.
Sadness may ask for compassion.
Frustration might point to where you’re out of alignment.
Instead of shutting them down, ask: “What are you trying to teach me?”
Why This Matters — Especially Now
So many women reach midlife feeling worn out, overlooked, or behind. That is an illusion or limiting belief that can be changed. You’ve already lived through so much. Now is the time to take all that experience and alchemise it — into clarity, into self-respect, into your unique next chapter. Let your own inner voice guide you. Take one step that feels right to you. Your strength is not lost — it’s simply been waiting to be recognised, not just as survival, but as wisdom.
Be Kind to yourself
“You’ve carried more than most will ever know — not because you had to, but because you chose to keep going. That quiet strength. It’s your superpower. You’re already stronger than you give yourself credit for.” — Liz Hopkins
So today, listen. Not to the loudest voice, but the truest one. The one that’s always been yours.
