In this episode of Follow the Pull, Wendy Kim talks with Micaela Belle about intuition, sensitivity, self-trust, and what it means to live in greater alignment with what your body and inner voice are telling you. Micaela shares how her intuitive gifts developed early in life, even though she did not always feel safe expressing them, and explains why she believes intuition becomes stronger the more we practice listening to it.

Micaela describes intuition as a muscle: the more it is used, the louder it becomes, while ignoring it can make it harder to hear. She also talks about growing up highly sensitive, learning to hide what she felt, and eventually learning how to honor signals about people, environments, and situations that did not feel safe or aligned. A major theme of the conversation is learning to ask the right questions. Micaela shares personal stories where paying attention to a feeling that something was off helped her make important decisions, including in work and relationships. She explains that intuition is not simply about having a feeling—it is also about becoming willing to pause, ask, listen, and trust the response you receive.

Wendy and Micaela also explore the tension between intuition and control. Micaela talks about perfectionism, rules, and highly structured environments, and how those patterns can make it harder to access creativity and intuitive thinking. She argues that letting go of some control can create more room for creativity, innovation, and self-trust.
