“What is Intuition?”
THE INTUITIVE VOICE PODCAST | EPISODE 1
Never Miss An Episode
Learning to Recognize Your Inner Knowing
In this first episode of The Intuitive Voice, hosts Martha Arnett, MSW, and Angela Huebner, LMFT, PhD explore one of the most common questions people ask: What is intuition, and how do you know when it’s actually speaking to you?
Blending Martha’s experiential, intuitive approach with Angela’s background in psychology and neuroscience, the conversation bridges the gap between the “art” and the “science” of intuition. They unpack intuition as an immediate inner knowing, often experienced as a neutral signal in the body rather than a dramatic emotional reaction.
Through personal stories—from life-changing career decisions to moments when intuition was ignored—the hosts illustrate how intuition often shows up quietly but clearly. They discuss why many people lose touch with their intuition as they grow older, how cultural conditioning often prioritizes intellect over inner knowing, and why reconnecting with intuition can make life feel less complicated.
Listeners will also learn practical ways to recognize intuitive signals in the body, understand the difference between intuition and fear, and begin rebuilding trust in their own inner guidance.
The episode closes with a simple experiment: what would happen if you trusted your intuition for just one day?
