Have you ever had that unmistakable gut feeling about someone you just met? That inner shiver that can't be explained but somehow turns out to be right? In this illuminating conversation, Mary Rothwell welcomes Anna Quigley, known as the "intuitive Yoda," to explore how women can reclaim their natural intuitive abilities despite societal conditioning that teaches us to doubt our inner knowing.
Anna reveals the fascinating science behind intuition—we process a staggering 11 million bits of information every second, yet only 1% reaches our conscious mind. The rest? It speaks through our senses as gut feelings, unexplainable chills, or simply knowing something without understanding how. This isn't mystical thinking but rather our body's sophisticated information processing system at work.
The challenge many women face is distinguishing between intuition and fear, as both can create similar physical sensations. Anna offers practical guidance for teasing these apart, explaining how fear focuses on limitations ("I can't do this job") while intuition often feels like excitement—a heart shiver signaling something is right for us, even when it doesn't make logical sense. Through personal stories and examples, she demonstrates how following seemingly illogical intuitive nudges led to her most fulfilling career opportunities.
You'll discover actionable techniques to strengthen your intuitive abilities, from creating brief moments of stillness in your day to practicing sensory imagination—using all your senses to envision what you want to create. Perhaps most encouraging is the reminder that midlife and beyond can be a powerful time to reconnect with intuition as societal pressures lessen, offering a fresh perspective on aging as a period of wisdom and clarity rather than limitation.
