“Once I put the plan in place, I have to let go of it, meaning that there needs to be space in my life to listen to my intuition.”
–Dr. Mary Sanders
You are highly intuitive. Are you listening and trusting the golden nuggets you are receiving? I’m talking with Dr. Mary Sanders, a chiropractor, a medical intuitive, and a positive psychologist about intuition, energy, and grounding.
Mary’s story, like most, isn’t linear. She takes us around the globe and through many years of learning and opening up to her gifts.
We agree that planning allows you to be more in the present — even when things don’t turn out as you planned. The plan allows you to keep moving and the movement opens up new channels.
We talk about:
- Mary developing different ways of perception due to her hearing deficit
- How travel can be disorienting (and what else can disorient us)
- What can ground you anywhere in the world
- Long spiral routes to what you are meant to do
- Centering our energetic body in the present, not the past or future
- How planning and intuition can work together.

DOABLE CHANGES
At the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Change comes from action.
Sometimes action gets a bad rap. You can be kind to yourself. You can practice being AND doing, but for change to happen you have to take steps. The way we take care of ourselves is making the steps doable and focusing on one thing at a time. We take time to integrate the change and then move on to the next one. Pick a Doable Change that resonates with you the most to start from.
Here are three Doable changes that we chose from this conversation.
- CHECK YOUR RESOURCES. At one point Mary refers to chocolate and red wine as resources — right before burnout. Sometimes we do rely on resources that aren’t really serving or helping us. What are you using for “resources” right now? Are they helping?
- WHAT GIFT HAVE YOU IGNORED? What is something you are good at or meant to do that you haven’t studied or tried because it wasn’t practical? How could you explore this gift — either a giant leap or a tiny step? Journal things you could do.
- PRACTICE PLANNING AND PIVOTING. Do you avoid planning because too much seems up in the air? Or create a plan and hold onto it rigidly? What if you made a plan and acted on it, with room to adjust and change? Check in before your next step. Is your intuition on board? Go for it.
