Have you ever felt that inexplicable knowing deep in your gut? That moment when clarity strikes like lightning, and suddenly, everything makes perfect sense? This episode dives into the profound power of intuition and how aligning with your true desires can transform your life in unexpected ways.
Your vibrational energy is constantly broadcasting signals to the universe, much like tuning a radio dial. When you're clear about what you truly want, you begin receiving exactly that frequency back. I share my personal journey of taking a full year to get crystal clear about what I wanted in a relationship—focusing intently on the kind of partner I hoped to attract. The result? Meeting my husband and knowing immediately, without doubt, that he was "the one." This wasn't coincidence but the natural outcome of alignment and receptivity.
Women possess an incredible intuitive superpower that society often encourages us to doubt or dismiss. But what if instead of questioning these inner knowing, we embraced them? What if we treated our intuition as our most reliable guide? I also explore the liberating concept that "no is a full sentence"—a powerful boundary-setting tool shared by the Olsen sisters. As women, we frequently feel compelled to justify our refusals, but there's tremendous freedom in simply declining without explanation.
Ready to harness your intuition and set clearer boundaries? Listen now, and don't forget to message me through the link in the episode description. I'd love to hear how these principles manifest in your own life!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everyone.
This is Still Grows' podcast.
This podcast was created forwomen, by women, to elevate
women's voices.
I am excited for today'sThought Starters, so I have a
couple to go over with you.
There's one out of the gatethat I want to just put out
there Now.
You know how I feel about beingin alignment with the universe.
You know how I feel about yourspiritual energy.
I've talked quite extensivelyabout this and I do truly
(00:22):
sincerely believe that yourvibrational energy excuse me,
everything you feel, all theemotions that you feel, will
send out signals into theuniverse.
This is, this is basically thelaw of reception.
Again, plugging Kathy Heller.
Check her out.
She'll explain that in moredetail.
But the law of receptionessentially is everything that
you feel and everything thatgoes on inside of you and in
(00:43):
your life is sending out asignal that is going to bring
things back to you that matchyour current signal.
So it's essentially like aradio dial.
If you're tuning yourselfappropriately, you're going to
get the station that you want.
If you're tuning yourselfsomething that you don't, that's
not good for you.
You're going to get a stationthat you don't want.
She explains it better, so Istill advise checking her out.
(01:06):
This is a huge thing that a lotof people don't understand.
I didn't even really understandit until a couple of years ago,
and a quote that I just sawrecently on Pinterest is it's
already written in the stars.
Flowing with life means lettinggo of control and trusting that
your soul already knows the way.
You know in your core and I amgesturing to literally my chest,
down into my stomach you knowin your core, if you're
(01:28):
listening and in tune withyourself, you will know when
something is coming your waythat is meant for you.
You ever have those gutinstincts that you, somebody
asks you a question or somebodyintroduces you to somebody.
That's actually a prettyobvious one.
But like, if somebody you knowis like, hey, I have this trip,
that a business trip we need totake, you know, I'd like you to
come with me, and you kind ofget like a little bit of a
(01:50):
feeling inside.
That's like that felt likesomething.
The more in tune that you arewith yourself, the faster you
can recognize and the louder itactually gets like oh, go, go,
do it.
Actually, I'll give an example,personal example, which you
know I love to give to all ofyou.
(02:11):
I've been trying to rethink thepodcast and how to format it to
fit my life now, because whatI've done in the past is usually
I'll take about a month or so,I will do a massive amount of
recording within these couple ofweeks and then I spent a couple
of weeks having to edit all theepisodes and post them for the
following season.
That's how I've been doing itfor the past.
My God, two years, three yearsalready, anyway.
That's why I've been doing itfor the past couple of years, or
since the beginning of time.
That's always how I've done it.
That doesn't really fit anymore, it doesn't suit anymore.
(02:34):
And so I was shower thoughts,right, so I'm taking a shower,
and I sent a prayer up and Isaid I just need a sign, I need
something.
Actually, no, this was beforethe shower.
I said to myself and to theuniverse out loud.
I said I need something, I needa sign because what I was doing
before does not feel goodanymore.
This is not how I doesn't flowLike.
(02:54):
I don't feel that excitement.
So flash forward.
I'm in the shower.
After I put this out into theuniverse, I'm like I need
something else.
I need a sign, I need to knowwhat to do here, because I don't
want to leave the podcast.
You guys have heard me talkabout it a couple of times
already.
I'm trying to figure out whatto do because this what I was
doing isn't working anymore andit kind of just hit me like a
bolt of lightning All of asudden in the shower in my head.
(03:15):
Jenny, just do lives everySunday.
Do a live episode every Sunday.
Don't worry about the editing,the post-production, don't do
any of that stuff.
Just do a live episode.
Get live guest episode everysingle Sunday, same time.
Make it consistent, make it ashow, that's it.
So I think that's actually whatI'm pivoting to, which, by the
way, spoiler alert, I thinkthat's what I'm pivoting to.
(03:40):
So you have to just be in tuneto hear what is this it?
Prior to meeting my husband I'llgive you another example with,
like, staying in tune withyourself I spent a year I took a
year off of socializing, goingout, really focusing on anything
.
I took a whole year and onlyfocused on becoming clear of
what I wanted, because the waythat I was living my life prior
to that, I already knew itwasn't going to bring good
(04:01):
things to me.
And I remember having a talkwith myself one night I left the
.
I was leaving the bar club,whatever, before everyone else.
I'm walking in my car and I'mlike, damn, like this is not the
life I want.
Like I want to get married, Iwant to have a family.
Like what the hell am I doing?
Everything that I'm doing isscreaming something else and I
don't want this.
Something else.
I want stability, I want a home.
(04:22):
Like I want to build somethingwith someone, and I was.
I think that was right after my25th or right before my 25th
birthday.
I think it was before.
He was right before my 25thbirthday.
And so I started making smallshifts, like just small things,
and saying no to things, andwhich I'm gonna get to in a
minute.
More good started to come.
It was really slow thebeginning.
(04:43):
I got pointed into a directionof a couple of things and I
started really justhyper-focusing on like, what do
I want?
What do I want for my life?
What do I need to do here toget to what I want?
And once I started becomingreally clear, I just kept that
in mind for almost a whole yearand in that year my professional
career started to look up.
I got promoted, got moreresponsibility at work, I got
(05:04):
acknowledged for the skills thatI was building.
I was a workaholic, so I waslike it is what it is.
I also started focusing on thekind of relationship I wanted,
the kind of man I wanted.
What kind of man did I want tohave around me?
Because up until that point, Ihad chosen some pretty crappy
people.
So I was like I don't know whatthe hell I'm doing.
I need something.
And so I just got really clearthis is the person I want.
This is the man I want.
(05:24):
This is what I picture when hecomes home, and I want him to be
.
I want him to work with hishands.
I want him to.
I don't want a blue collar guyor, excuse me, not blue collar.
I don't want a white collar guy.
I want a be with somebody else.
(05:44):
I kid you not, the day that Imet my husband, the friend that
I was going out with there was agroup of us going out and she
said to me she's like, man, wereally got to do something here.
We can't be.
We got, we got to really buckledown and get relationships.
And I was like, ah, like, allright, we'll think about that
another time, you know.
And I was like we'll figure itout, like it'll happen, but I
was kind of starting to get setto, because it had been a year,
right, of focusing on what Ireally wanted.
I started to get settled withall right, maybe maybe there's
(06:06):
nobody, you know, maybe there'sno one out there, right?
So I go out and I meet myhusband, who I didn't know was
my husband at a time.
The next day he called me for adate, literally met on a Friday
night, march 6th, if you reallyneed to know, because that I
remember very specifically.
We met on a Friday night,called me the next day for a
date.
We went out on the date.
I came home and my cousin theremy brother is my mom,
(06:28):
everyone's like, oh, how did itgo?
Like laughing, you know,because my dates are always like
ending in disasters and stuff.
And I was like, oh, my God, youknow.
And I came home and I just saidI was like, all right, I was
like this is the guy.
I knew it.
I just knew it.
In my gut.
I'm like this is him, this isthe one and that was it.
The rest is history, right, Ijust knew.
So the point, with all myblabbering here about this and
(06:48):
my, like you know, kind of justyammering on is we always know
our tuition is incredibly strong, but we've been guided and by
we I mean women have been guidedto ignore your intuition, like
that.
We've been told there'smessages all over the place
ignore your intuition.
That's crazy.
You're being crazy.
It's not, though.
This is almost like asuperpower, and the more in tune
you are with yourself, thefaster these good things are
(07:08):
going to come your way.
So you have to get really clearwhat it is that you're looking
for.
What do you want?
And trust that it's going to bebrought to you.
Just trust that it is.
It is.
I can guarantee you, if you getsuper clear on what you want,
it will be brought to you.
Hands down, it will, and whenit does, I want you to message
me here, because I want to talkabout it and I want to talk
(07:30):
about how you had success.
Now one more thing on thisepisode that I wanted to
highlight that I actually foundreally, really interesting.
I saw this on Pinterest.
Everyone has feelings about theOlsen sisters, right, young,
the older sister and then thetwins, um, but this thing that I
saw here on Pinterest.
They were doing an interviewand they said one of the most
important things that theylearned from each other and that
(07:51):
they still, to this day, willlead on, basically is that no is
a full sentence.
No, hard stop, full sentence.
You might be hearing me beinglike what do you mean?
Like what are you talking about?
What I mean is somebody asksyou to do something, if somebody
asks you for something, ifsomebody asks you anything, you
are allowed to just say no.
(08:13):
Now I can hear some of you kindof like in your head like yeah,
of course, like I could justsay no, yeah, no, no, you can
just say no.
But the key here is you do nothave to justify that now.
You just don't have to justifyit.
No, hard stop.
I find myself spinning my wheelsa little bit here and there,
where I'll be like no, because,you know, I just really wasn't
comfortable.
(08:33):
And then I'm like starting toexplain myself and I'm defending
my aunt and my response and whyI said no and I'm like no, well
, not today, because youactually none of us have to do
any of that.
Now I'm not saying be rude,like I'm not encouraging anyone
to go out there and be a jerk,but like if somebody says to you
oh, I'd like to take your kidout, I'm going to take your kid
out and we're going to go to thebeach and it's gonna be a great
(08:54):
day.
Maybe you know this mom andthey feel comfortable enough to
say that to you and that they'regoing to take your child with
them.
You have every right to say no.
I say no all the time.
110% say no.
Right now, my kids are at an agewhere sleepovers have started
to happen and my kidsdesperately want to do it.
Ask me all the time when can wehave sleepovers?
No, like, no, you can't, can'tdo it.
They're like well, you knowso-and-so's doing it.
(09:16):
I'm like that's fine.
I'm like you're not doing it.
I'm not doing that, I'm not init, I'm not ready there.
No, like, no.
And I've had moms ask me like oh, you know they're, they're
allowed to sleep over.
Would you like it to be asleepover party?
I'm like no, I'm sorry.
I'm like I'm not, not there,not not happening, that's it,
it's.
It's really that simple.
But for women it's like achallenge.
We have a hard time just sayingno, no, like, and I want to put
(09:39):
that out there and I actuallykind of want you guys to noodle
on it, really pay attention tohow you respond after this
episode, and if somebody putssomething out there to you and
they want you to do something, Iwould be very interested to
hear if you're able to pull thisin and be like no hard, stop
and move on from there.
Now maybe sometimes lightexplanation is needed, like
again, like I'm not in, again.
I'm not trying to say anyone,be rude, but you are allowed to
(10:00):
just say no, you don't want todo it.
No, no, thank you, that's it.
It's kind of like amazing.
When you say it out loud itseems very simple, though for
some reason, we all have westruggle with it.
So, um, I want to leave thatwith you.
I'd be very interested to hearif any of you achieve your nose.
