People Pleasers: Why following your intuition feels so triggering

For people pleasers and highly sensitive individuals, learning to listen to your intuition can feel deeply triggering rather than empowering. This discomfort occurs because tuning into your intuitive voice requires honest self-reflection about where your energy is going, what you truly want, and what you've been tolerating out of obligation. When your intuition asks you to set boundaries or say no to others' expectations, it triggers fears of disappointment and guilt—especially if you've spent years ignoring your authentic desires to keep others comfortable. However, the temporary discomfort of following your intuition leads to permanent freedom: greater capacity, authentic connections, and a life that genuinely fits you. This journey from people-pleasing to intuitive self-trust means developing the courage to create real boundaries and choose yourself—even when it feels uncomfortable.

The Real Secret to Intuitive Living (Hint: It's Not What You Think)

The Real Secret to Intuitive Living (Hint: It's Not What You Think)

I used to watch confident, decisive people make choices and wonder: How do they know? They must be incredibly intelligent, I thought. So I threw myself into university, exercising those brain cells as much as I could, but I only found myself more lost and unsure. All I could see were endless possibilities—pros and cons swirling without clarity.

It wasn't until my mid-twenties, after two relationship breakups instigated by my gut instinct, that I decided listening to my intuition first might be the path to quicker decisions. What I've learned since then has completely transformed my understanding: confidence in following your intuition doesn't come from always knowing the answer, but from trusting the process itself.

How to Be the Opposite of a Perfectionist: An Intuitive Approach to Life

Perfectionism whispers seductive lies: that control equals safety, that flawless execution prevents pain, that thinking harder will reveal the "right" answer. But after years of living imprisoned by impossibly high standards, I discovered something revolutionary—my intuition was the key to freedom.

If you're exhausted by the relentless inner critic, paralysed by decision-making anxiety, or disconnected from your authentic self, an intuitive approach to life might be exactly what you need. My journey began with something as simple as a restaurant menu, where even choosing a dish triggered panic-fueled indecision. This disconnection is no accident—perfectionism creates a relentless need for "proof" while intuition operates on feeling and subtle knowing.

Discover how to break free from the overthinking trap and start trusting your inner wisdom...

How Narcissistic abuse damages your intuition—and how to rebuild it

Your intuition is your internal compass—that quiet voice that guides you toward what feels right and warns you when something is off. It's meant to be your most trusted ally, helping you navigate relationships, make decisions, and stay aligned with your authentic self. But when you've experienced narcissistic abuse, this inner guidance system becomes compromised, leaving you feeling lost, confused, and unable to trust your own perceptions.

The damage isn't accidental. Narcissistic abuse systematically targets your ability to trust yourself, creating a perfect storm of self-doubt that makes it nearly impossible to hear your inner voice. Understanding how this happens—and more importantly, how to heal from it—is crucial for reclaiming your power and rebuilding your relationship with your intuition.

“The secret to happiness is freedom… And the secret of freedom is courage”

— Thucydides

Therefore, in this blog, I want to explore what that is like, why it happens, and how on earth we can navigate this difference.
