The Re-Root to Rise Summit

May 1 to 3, 2025

Where I'll be debuting a brand new talk called "I had to lose her to find me." It chronicles my journey of going no contact with my mother in order to pursue peace, trauma recovery, and embracing my authentic self. It's also the portal where I began to have compassion for my mother and release the need for approval, validation, or shame.

The Power of Intuition: trusting your inner knowing in a noisy world

The Power of Intuition: Trusting Your Inner Knowing in a Noisy World

Introduction:

In a world filled with constant noise—news, social media, advice from friends, family, and experts—it can be hard to hear the quiet, inner voice that whispers to you. Yet, this voice, your intuition, is your greatest ally. It's the compass that points you toward your true path, even when the outside world feels chaotic. But how do you learn to trust your intuition in the midst of all the noise? In this post, we'll explore the power of intuition and how you can start trusting your inner knowing today.

What is Intuition?

Intuition is often described as a gut feeling, an inner knowing, or a sense that something is right (or wrong) without having any concrete evidence. It's that deep, instinctual voice that guides you toward the right decision, even when logic or reason might suggest otherwise. Some people call it a sixth sense, while others see it as a direct line to their higher self or spiritual guidance.

The Challenges of Listening to Intuition:

1. Noise from the Outside World:

- In today’s world, we are bombarded with information. Everyone seems to have an opinion about what you should do, how you should live, and what decisions are best for you. This external noise can drown out your inner voice, making it difficult to hear your intuition.

2. Self-Doubt and Fear:

- Trusting your intuition requires faith in yourself. Unfortunately, many of us struggle with self-doubt, second-guessing our instincts, and worrying that we’re making the wrong choice. Fear of failure or judgment from others can lead us to ignore our inner knowing.

3. Overthinking:

- The mind loves to analyze, categorize, and rationalize. While this can be helpful in many situations, it can also overcomplicate things. When we overthink, we often lose touch with the simplicity and clarity that intuition offers.

How to Strengthen Your Intuition:

1. Quiet the Noise:

- Creating space for stillness is essential. Whether through meditation, time spent in nature, or simply disconnecting from digital distractions, making time for quiet reflection allows your inner voice to emerge.

2. Practice Listening:

- Like any skill, intuition gets stronger with practice. Start by paying attention to the small, everyday decisions you make. When faced with a choice, take a moment to tune into your gut feeling before making a decision. Over time, this practice will help you develop greater trust in your intuition.

3. Trust Your First Instinct:

- Your intuition often speaks to you in an instant. That first thought, feeling, or nudge you experience is usually your intuition guiding you. Resist the urge to overthink and trust that initial instinct.

4. Reflect on Past Experiences:

- Think back to times when you followed your intuition and it led you to the right outcome. Reflecting on these experiences helps reinforce your trust in your inner guidance.

Why Trusting Your Intuition Matters:

Your intuition is a direct line to your inner wisdom and spiritual guidance. It transcends the noise of the world and connects you with your higher purpose. When you trust your intuition, you align yourself with the flow of the universe, allowing opportunities, connections, and growth to come naturally. Trusting your intuition isn’t about abandoning logic or reason—it’s about balancing both and allowing your inner knowing to guide you toward your highest good.

Conclusion:

In a noisy world, your intuition is a beacon of clarity and truth. By learning to trust it, you unlock the power to navigate life with confidence, grace, and alignment with your true self. Strengthening your intuition takes time and practice, but the rewards are profound—guidance, peace, and a deep sense of purpose.

Inclusion & Accessibility starts on the inside

Imagine feeling grounded in who you are and knowing that your choices are aligned with your values. Imagine navigating your day-to-day life with clarity and confidence, supported by tools that empower you to show up fully for yourself and those you care about.

The gap between how you feel now and the above statement isn't as vast and wide as it feels. I know, because I led myself through this process first--and I do it every single time a new avenue of making myself wrong or not enough pops up.

What if you have a hard time wrapping your head around inclusion and accessibility because at no fault of your own you've absorbed beliefs, conditioning, and thought patterns that have unattainable perfectionism and ableism at their core?

In a capitalist society when people are valued based on their contribution to society, their ability to perform, garner success, and attain wealth and notoriety, being unable to function in a so called normal life without considerable stress, anxiety and guilt feels like a failure.

Working together to unpack internalized shame, homophobia, white supremacy and other debilitating frameworks with compassion and often play (because humour is a pathway to joy) you can begin to separate other people's beliefs and opinions from your own, learn how to define your own value, take back your power and provide yourself with what you need most: self acceptance.

We do this using body based practices, also known as somatics, subliminal recoding tools like visualization and theta wave meditation, and client centred support structures where what's most pressing for you is the focus.

This work is not a replacement for clinically trained trauma specialists. It is complimentary to clinical therapies as they are largely framed in a colonial binary perspective and fail to look at you as a dynamic complex person. Queer Alchemy does not believe in pathologizing you...aka making you disordered or wrong or mentally ill simply for having a nervous system that responded to trauma in the way it was designed to. Instead, Queer Alchemy uses compassion and empathy based person to person support to gently bring you back into cohesion with your sense of self and purpose.

Inclusion & Accessibility for Practitioners

Let’s get real for a second—our industry, the spiritual and wellness world, is buzzing with potential. There’s a huge opportunity to create businesses that truly reflect the values we talk about: unity, abundance, and authenticity. At the heart of that is inclusion. When we embrace diversity, we open doors to connect with more people, deepen our impact, and grow our businesses in ways that feel aligned with the new paradigm we’re co-creating.

But here’s the thing: making your business more inclusive isn’t always straightforward. Maybe you’re unsure where to start or afraid of making a misstep. That’s completely valid. The systems most of us have been navigating weren’t built with inclusion in mind—it’s not your fault. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

That’s why I created Inclusion Illusion

—a workshop to help leaders like you step confidently into this work. This isn’t about a checklist or slapping a rainbow on your logo; it’s about building a business that resonates with the energy of collective care and abundance.

For years, I’ve been working with spiritual entrepreneurs who are ready to do better but need a clear, compassionate path forward. I get it—this stuff can feel overwhelming. What you’ll find in this program is space to ask questions, learn, and grow without judgment. We’ll reframe inclusion not as a burden but as a natural extension of your values—and yes, when done authentically, it also happens to be great for your business.

I know what you might be thinking:

What if I get it wrong?

Mistakes are part of the process, and they don’t define you. What matters is that you’re showing up and committing to growth. Together, we’ll explore practical steps, unpack limiting beliefs, and build strategies that align with who you are and where you’re headed.

Ready to stop leaving this work for "someday" and start building a business that feels expansive, inclusive, and abundant? I’d love to walk this path with you.

Join the next cohort today!

Let’s create something beautiful together. One step at a time, we’re changing the game.

Cheryl has been amazing in helping me tap into my own energy and really get the most out of our sessions. What's really cool about them is how they make everything super inclusive and easy to get into. They've gone out of their way to make sure everything we do fits what I can do and where I'm at, creating this super welcoming vibe that makes it easy to just be myself and open up.

They've got this knack for making you feel seen and heard. No matter what we're working on, I never feel judged or out of place. Cheryl's makes sure you're comfortable and uses strategies that are actually doable for me. It's been a game-changer, honestly. Having their support and knowing they're always there to guide me, but in a way that feels more like a partnership, has been huge for my personal growth. I'm really thankful for how they've helped me and made this journey so much more manageable and meaningful.
