As a child I dreamt of being an interpreter.
I guess because I always already was.
That someone who translated from one perception and language to another. Transitioning equally between the verbal and the unspoken.
It was there that my fascination started.
For how we come to understand things - not just to know them, but to be them.
In relation to each other, but also in connection with how we choose to live.
With time I sensed - that clarity is often not immediate.
It is edged by confusion and trials and misunderstandings.
And it takes time.
Contrary to many modern books and films and content.
That spoil us with insight on a silver platter.
In the end it doesn’t matter how much of other people’s knowledge we consume.
Of course we would love for someone - or a greater power - to spell out to us what we are meant to feel or understand.
But real clarity and trust in ourselves and our intuition - is built by our actions.
Accumulated in our experiences.
Gathered through our bravery.
Asking us to chafe against the same feelings and questions again and again…and again.
That’s reality.
That way, cultivating our ability to trust ourselves is rarely an experiment of thought, but a commitment that asks us to BE in new ways. However small the steps.
This episode is an invitation to slow down — not as a productivity hack, but as an act of trust in your own knowing.
I am joined by Amanda Parker - the Untamed Oracle, certified coach and reiki master healer - and together we follow the soft whispers and loud messages that we receive through life. Through nature, burnout, career reinvention, and the body’s own signals, we explore what it actually takes to hear yourself in a world designed to drown you out - and why the answer is rarely more information, but more willingness to trust what is already there.
We move through creative overwhelm and the relief (and friction) of committing to our visions and nudges, the slow and sometimes naive accumulation of bravery that leads people out of lives that no longer fit, and the difference between intuition and anxiety when both show up as feeling in the body.
And we close with a practice - hands on bark, to actually learn from trees. To ask questions and listen for what speaks back.
It’s a conversation for anyone who already knows, somewhere, what they need and desire, and wants to start following that calling instead of denying it.
