Shownotes

There is a moment many of us have quietly felt but rarely named. A pull in a direction logic cannot fully explain. A soft knowing underneath the noise. A nudge that keeps returning, gently and persistently, even when we try to talk ourselves out of it.

Ellen Edmondson, award-winning author and intuition mentor, returns to Cosmic Confluence to explore how inner guidance actually shows up in everyday life, and what it can take to learn to trust it, especially when life has already shaken us awake.

About the Guest:

Ellen Edmondson is a multi-award-winning author, spiritual guide, and intuition mentor. A former federal executive, she is the author of A Place of Love and Light and the founder of the Highly Intuitive Kids community. Her work helps people deepen self-trust, reconnect with their inner guidance, and move through life's transitions with greater clarity and purpose.

Key Takeaways:

  • In Ellen's view, intuition arrives quietly all the time; the nudges, impressions, and gut feelings are not rare events but constant companions we've learned to override.
  • Real inner guidance becomes accessible in stillness; even five minutes of daily quiet, asking "what is my soul asking of me today," is a practice in itself.
  • The difference between intuition and anxiety, in her experience, is felt in the body and built through trust over time, not identified in one moment.
  • Life's biggest disruptions (grief, loss, transition) can be the very things that turn us inward and open us to the inner voice we'd stopped hearing.
  • Writing down what you receive and watching it over time is one of the clearest ways to start trusting your guidance, as you see how it has been leading you.
