    Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. In this Big Ideas episode, Lauren welcomes author and intuition teacher Hilary McCann Crowley for an expansive conversation about what intuition really is and how it relates to consciousness.Hilary traces the word intuition back to its roots as an “inner tutor,” explaining that everyone has intuitive capacity, but each person experiences and relates to it differently. She also explores an important ethical principle in intuitive work: respecting another person’s inner authority rather than projecting fear, shame, or certainty onto them.Along the way, she shares a memorable everyday example, reflects on ancestors, spirit, and the possibility of consciousness existing everywhere. Hilary offers a refreshing perspective on developing intuition which consists of not dissecting it, but instead, giving ourselves permission and unlearning what blocks it.This episode is an invitation to reconsider intuition not as something mystical or exclusive, but as a natural part of being human that becomes clearer when we slow down, listen, and trust our inner guide.
