    Ep. 105 — How to Access Your Intuition When You Actually Need It

    You know you're intuitive. You receive random knowings, feelings, images, signs or messages when you're driving, falling asleep or just going about your day. But the second you actually need an answer? Nothing. In this episode, I'm sharing what I worked on with several of my clients recently who were experiencing this exact problem and the techniques I use to help them move from randomly receiving intuition to consciously accessing it. We'll talk about why trying too hard can actually create resistance, how to use your body and energy to become more receptive, why curiosity is one of the most powerful states for intuitive connection, and how to begin recognizing the unique way intuition wants to flow through you. Because you shouldn't have to sit around waiting for your intuition to randomly speak. You can learn how to meet your body, open your energy, move into your heart and receive the guidance that's already available to you.

    Ep. 104- You've Been Taught Inner Child Work All Wrong

    Inner child work isn't just about going back into your childhood, digging up painful memories, or figuring out everything your parents did wrong. It's about understanding a part of you that is still very much alive. The part that creates. Desires. Plays. Follows an impulse. Expresses itself before asking, "But what will everyone think?" In this episode, I'm breaking down inner child work in a completely different way and showing you how your inner child can become a symbolic mirror for the unconscious beliefs, fears, and programming affecting the way you show up today. We'll talk about creativity, intuition, self-expression, fear of judgment, and why becoming the safe, grounded adult for yourself may be one of the most important pieces of actually following what your soul is asking you to do. Because healing your inner child isn't only about healing your past. Sometimes it's about finally giving yourself permission to become who you're here to be.

    Ep. 103- Why Your Body Is Blocking Spirit Communication (And How to Fix It)

    What if you're not blocked from Spirit at all? What if your body is simply trying to protect you? Your intuition isn't separate from your body. In fact, your body may be the very reason you feel disconnected from Spirit. So many people believe they need to meditate more, develop their psychic abilities, or wait for a bigger sign. But after working with hundreds of intuitive women, I've noticed something different. When the body doesn't feel safe, it becomes much harder to recognize the subtle ways Spirit is already communicating. In this episode, we're exploring the powerful connection between your body, emotional safety, and intuitive guidance. I'll share why your body can unintentionally block Spirit communication, the signs to look for, and practical ways to help your body feel safe enough to receive the guidance that's been there all along. If you've ever wondered why your connection to Spirit feels inconsistent, this episode may help you stop questioning your gifts and start understanding what your body has been asking for.

    Ep. 102- The Biggest Intuition Mistake I See Every Day

    Most people think intuition is something you sit back and wait for. After working with thousands of people, I've realized that's one of the biggest mistakes I see. In this episode, I'm sharing why intuition isn't simply about receiving messages—it's about learning how to initiate a relationship with it. We'll explore the difference between initiating and receiving intuitive information, why your natural intuitive flow may look different than someone else's, and why waiting for signs could actually be keeping you stuck. If you've ever wondered why your intuition feels inconsistent, why you struggle to hear your guides, or why the usual advice hasn't worked for you, this episode will give you a completely new way of understanding how intuition actually functions.

    Ep. 100-From Student to Psychic Medium: Brooke's Spiritual Awakening

    I honestly can't think of a better way to celebrate 100 episodes, than by sharing Brooke's story. Brooke has been one of my mentorship students for years, and in this conversation, she opens up about what her spiritual awakening actually looked like-from self-doubt and fear to trusting her intuition and becoming a practicing psychic medium herself. We talk about the healing that no one prepares you for, why intuition grows through consistency rather than perfection, and what it really takes to step into the life your soul is calling you toward. If you've ever questioned your gifts, wondered if you're making it all up, or felt like you're standing at the beginning of your own awakening, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone. In this episode, we explore: • Brooke's spiritual awakening journey • Learning to trust your intuition • Healing the fears that keep you stuck • Inner child work and psychic development • What it actually takes to become a confident intuitive Connect with Brooke Minars on IG & DM for a reading: https://www.instagram.com/soulful.and.spiritual11?igsh=OXE2a3loZmloZmpw&utm_source=qr Or through Substack: https://substack.com/@brookeminars Work 1:1 with me in mentorship or session: www.lailataylor.com Thank you for being here for 100 episodes.

    Ep.99- The Process That Finally Unblocks Your Intuition

    If you've been trying to strengthen your intuition but keep feeling disconnected, second-guessing yourself, or wondering if you're getting it "right," this episode is for you. The truth is, most people aren't blocked because they lack intuitive gifts. They're blocked because they're approaching spirituality through control, perfectionism, and performance. In this episode, I walk you through the energetic process I use to move out of fear and into flow, where intuition naturally becomes clearer. You'll learn why trying harder often pushes your intuition further away, how to recognize when you're operating from control instead of trust, and what it actually feels like to become a clear channel for your own inner wisdom. By the end of this episode, you'll have a completely different understanding of what it means to connect with your intuition—and why it gets to feel a whole lot easier than you've been taught.

    Ep.98- The Hidden Addiction Many Spiritual People Have

    Do you ever feel like your spiritual practice isn't giving you what it used to? Maybe the signs aren't as strong. The downloads feel quieter. The connection feels ordinary. And a part of you wonders if you're blocked or doing something wrong. In this episode, we're exploring a hidden pattern that many spiritual people fall into without realizing it: becoming attached to spiritual highs. We talk about why profound experiences aren't the goal of spiritual growth, why your practice may feel repetitive at times, and how true connection is often found in the quiet moments rather than the dramatic ones. If you've been chasing signs, waiting for the next breakthrough, or wondering why your connection feels different than it did in the beginning, this conversation may completely shift the way you view your spiritual journey. You'll learn:• Why spiritual highs can become addictive• The difference between intensity and genuine connection• What spiritual downloads actually are• Why quiet seasons are often periods of deep growth• How to create a sustainable relationship with your intuition and spirit The goal isn't to leave yourself. It's to become more fully present within yourself. Work 1:1 with me at: www.lailataylor.com Follow on IG / TikTok @laila.l.taylor
