Episode 18: Following Your Heart: The Nudge You’ve Been Ignoring

Have you ever felt a pull in your heart toward something you’re meant to do? That little nudge—your intuition—can be hard to follow, especially when fear, self-doubt, or past experiences get in the way.

In this episode, I share my own journey of learning to listen to those nudges, face discomfort, and step out of my comfort zone. I talk about the challenges of being seen, handling discouragement, and trusting your heart over others’ opinions.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to notice the clues and nudges from your intuition
• Ways to overcome fear, self-doubt, and discouragement
• Why stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for growth
• How to stop playing the “Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda” game
• How following your heart can create positive ripples in your life

This episode is for anyone who wants to follow their heart, live fully, and create meaningful change.
