  How to Strengthen Your Intuition & Trust What You Know | Ep 26

  Sep 2, 202636 min

  Ronnie Ryan is an intuitive coach who has spent decades exploring intuition, energy, past-life work, and the unseen wisdom that lives within us. What makes her perspective so refreshing is how grounded she is in it all, she’s deeply spiritual, naturally skeptical, genuinely funny, and never takes herself too seriously. Her work now helps women, particularly in midlife, reconnect with the intuition and inner magic they may have lost touch with along the way. Together, Ronnie and Jen explore practical ways to strengthen intuition, recognize how your own inner guidance communicates with you, and build confidence in what you know. At the heart of their conversation is a powerful shift in perspective: you may not always get the magic you wanted, but that doesn't mean you didn't get the magic. Welcome to Wisdom From Within. Somewhere along the way, many of us learned to trust everyone else’s answers more than our own. This podcast is a reminder that you were born with extraordinary intelligence—far beyond IQ alone. Your body knows. Your emotions speak. Your intuition guides and your nervous system remembers. Every week, we’ll explore the science, stories, and practices that reconnect you to yourself so you can lead, love, create, and live with greater clarity, courage, and trust. Because the answers you’ve been searching for aren’t out there. They’re already within you. Quote: “Don’t be hard on yourself, because that shuts things down.” Chapters: 06:00 – Why Intuition Feels More Accessible Today 13:00 – The Vision That Unlocked Her “Magic” 16:00 – How a Skeptic Learned to Trust Her Intuition 20:00 – How to Actually Practice Your Intuition 23:00 – Questions to Ask Your Inner Guidance 29:00 – Connecting Intuition Back to the Body 33:00 – Why Intuition Can Get Stronger in Midlife https://jenaks.com/ My Book: Your Body is Speaking IG: https://www.instagram.com/jen_aks/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/jennferaks YT: https://www.youtube.com/@jen_aks LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenaks/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jen_aks Music by Max Lilivois @prd.maxxell ✨ If this episode made you see your body and your brain in a new way, share it with someone who needs the science behind the wisdom.

Today, she interviews survivors and creates powerful documentaries that preserve their experiences, resilience, and legacies.
