Reclaiming Intuition in a World That Taught Us to Doubt It

I saw another woman post recently:

“Our moms couldn’t teach us how to trust our intuition because theirs had been silenced.”

That hit deep. Because it’s true for so many. And yet, my first thought was: gratitude.

I was lucky enough to have a psychically trained stepmom who worked with her intuition daily. She modeled what it meant to listen to the unseen, to follow her gut, to trust something greater than logic. That shaped me in profound ways.

I also grew up with the polar opposite experience.

My biological mom is deeply clairsentient—she feels everything. And I watched her intuition get shut down constantly. Especially by men. She’d know something, speak it out loud, and be told she was wrong, dramatic, or overreacting… only for time to prove her right. Then? She’d get punished anyway. As if being correct made her somehow culpable.

This dynamic is heartbreakingly common. Under patriarchy, women are taught to fear our own inner knowing. We’re told it’s “too much,” “not real,” “irrational,” or “crazy.” And for generations, we learned to internalize those lies.

I fell into those dynamics too when I was younger. Letting men criticize me for knowing what I knew, information that they could never imagine having before others. The best thing to do is to stay away from men who fear spiritually powerful women.

This is one of the many reasons I’m so passionate about teaching women—and especially future parents—how to access their psychic gifts and connect with their spirit babies.

Because it’s so much bigger than just “learning to be psychic.”

It’s about reclaiming our intuitive power from a system designed to rob us of it.

So how do we begin to trust our intuition again when we were raised in systems that taught us to doubt it?

We practice—even when it feels awkward.

We listen for the whispers before they have to scream.

We remember that intuition isn’t always loud or “woo”—sometimes it’s just a deep knowing, a gut pull, or the way your body relaxes when something is right.

We teach our children that their inner knowing is trustworthy.

We stop asking for permission to feel what we already feel.

We surround ourselves with people who honor our instincts—not pathologize them.

And for those of us raising spirit-led families?

This is how we break cycles.

Becoming psychic again isn’t about becoming “special”—it’s about becoming wholly yourself. Spiritually integrated.

I’d love to know—did anyone model intuition for you growing up? Or are you the first in your lineage reclaiming this? Leave a comment below.
