Welcome to Decoding the Universe and the Mind—a blog that explores the beautiful, bewildering dance between the cosmic and the cognitive. Here, we don’t separate science from soul or intuition from intellect. We sit at the intersection of neurodivergence, spirituality, and lived experience.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

I'm an autistic, ADHD-having, multi-certified, queer femme with two degrees, several micro-credentials, and a lifetime of unmasking.
I’m also a recovering perfectionist, serial self-learner, and someone who has survived (and now thrives) beyond generational trauma, burnout, and the systems that weren’t built for people like us.
I built this work because I couldn’t find the support I needed—so I created it. Now I help other neurodivergent entrepreneurs do the same: reclaim their energy, unlearn shame, and create sustainable systems of success.
Toxic hustle disguised as “high performance”
We're not here for burnout culture or pretending exhaustion is a badge of honor.
Motivation rooted in shame
You won’t find any “not good enough” energy here. We build from self-trust, not self-criticism.
Trying to fit people into a “normal” box
You’re not too much or too weird — you’re just right. Neurodivergence, queerness, creativity, and complexity are welcome here.

Before my coaching journey with Cheryl, I was lost in a maze of unsorted thoughts and feelings, struggling to focus or find clarity in my life. Dealing with trauma and its repercussions felt like navigating through an endless storm. Cheryl's guidance was a beacon of light in that chaos.
Their approach, though uncompromising and direct, empowered me to confront my issues head-on. They equipped me with practical techniques tailored to my daily struggles, fostering resilience and self-awareness.
I've learned that healing isn't about being "fixed"—it's about growing stronger and more capable of facing life's challenges. Thanks to Cheryl, I now possess the tools to tackle each day with confidence. I am immensely thankful for their support and the transformative journey they guided me through. - Mandi she/her Canada
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. - Erin they/she Canada
