“The Soul’s Timing: When We’re Ready to Hear Our Inner Voice”
THE INTUITIVE VOICE PODCAST | EPISODE 4
Never Miss An Episode
Why Some People Are Drawn to Intuition and Others Aren’t
In this episode of The Intuitive Voice, Martha Arnett, MSW, and Angela Huebner, LMFT, PhD, explore a question many people quietly wonder: why are some people deeply drawn to intuition while others seem less interested in it?
Together, they unpack the many forces that shape our relationship to inner knowing, including childhood experiences, sensitivity, trauma, family dynamics, cultural conditioning, spiritual openness, and the timing of life itself. Angela reflects on a lifelong sense of longing and “seeking,” while Martha shares how being highly sensitive and empathic led her to search for language and validation for the deeper experiences she was already having.
The conversation also explores the idea that intuition unfolds differently for different people depending on personality, soul path, life stage, and readiness. Martha and Angela discuss why many people return to intuition during midlife, crisis, loss, or transition — moments when logic alone no longer feels sufficient. They also speak candidly about why people may resist intuition: fear of change, fear of fallout, the need for control, and the discomfort of uncertainty.
The episode closes with a powerful practice for anyone navigating fear: asking whether something is truly unsafe, or simply unfamiliar.
