Shownotes

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about trusting my connection to Source during a major life transition. After receiving notice to leave a home I had finally begun to feel grounded in, my husband and I faced uncertainty, pressure, and the challenge of finding a new place that truly felt like home.

I take you through the journey of surrendering control, following intuitive nudges, and holding faith even when nothing seemed certain. From almost taking the “safe” option to waiting for the place that resonated, this episode highlights the power of trusting the unseen guidance that comes from staying connected to Source.

I also reflect on patterns in my life - how I’ve moved and chased external validation in the past - and how grounding in my energy allowed me to navigate change with clarity, strength, and calm. It’s a real-life exploration of faith, intuition, and alignment.

If you’ve ever doubted your own guidance or felt pressure to make decisions before the timing felt right, this episode offers insight into how trusting your connection to Source can create opportunities, synchronicities, and the right outcomes in your life.

In this episode:

  1. Trusting your intuition when logic offers safer options
  2. Holding pressure without collapsing into old patterns
  3. Letting go of external validation and coming home to self
  4. How surrender creates momentum, clarity, and unexpected support
  5. Finding groundedness, even when everything is changing
