In a society where logic reigns supreme and productivity often trumps presence, many people find themselves disconnected from an inner voice that quietly knows the way. This episode of the podcast features an enlightening conversation with Michelle Galoob, an intuitive guide, coach and spiritual mentor who has dedicated her life to helping others reconnect with their inner wisdom and divine guidance.
A Life Transformed by a Spiritual Encounter
Michelle’s story is a testament to the transformative power of intuition. A former fashion entrepreneur and nonprofit professional, she found herself at rock bottom, grappling with financial struggles and emotional disconnection. Despite outward success, something vital was missing. It was during this time of crisis that she experienced a spiritual awakening, one that changed the course of her life.
She recalls a moment of desperate prayer to the universe, a plea for guidance when traditional advice had failed her. That night, her deceased spiritual teacher appeared at the foot of her bed, offering clear and comforting messages that addressed each of her struggles. This mystical experience was not just a turning point, it was the beginning of an entirely new path.
The Opening of Intuitive Gifts
What followed was a deepening of Michelle’s intuitive abilities. She began hearing guidance in her left ear, initially mistaking it for intrusive thoughts. Encouraged by a friend to seek insight from a tarot reader, she was told that she was meant to be a channel and that her third eye had opened. A few months later, she met her spiritual teacher in a synchronistic and almost cinematic moment. This teacher confirmed her gifts and offered to pass on all of her knowledge.
The Difference Between Intuition and Thought
Throughout the episode, Michelle shares the lessons she has learned from this journey and offers practical advice for those looking to develop their own intuition. One of the key takeaways is the importance of recognising the difference between the rational mind and intuitive knowing. According to Michelle, intuition is usually the very first thing that comes to us. It arrives swiftly, often without logical backing, and can be felt, heard, seen or simply known. The trouble begins when we allow our analytical mind to dissect and dilute it.
Naming the Ego to Quiet the Doubt
To help manage this, Michelle introduces a clever technique: naming your ego. Her ego is called Gertrude, and by giving it a name, she creates distance from the voice that often questions or belittles intuitive insights. In doing so, she encourages listeners to do the same, making it easier to identify when fear or doubt is clouding true inner guidance.
Creating Space for Intuition
Michelle also speaks about the importance of creating stillness. In her words, we must create quiet around us in order to hear what the universe is trying to say. This does not always require formal meditation. It could be as simple as taking a shower, driving without the radio or washing the dishes. The key is consistency. By engaging in these quiet activities at the same time each day, we train our bodies to become more receptive.
Asking the Universe for Guidance
A standout part of the discussion is Michelle’s metaphor of the universe as a restaurant and your guides as waiters. Just as waiters await your order, your spiritual guides are always standing by, ready to assist. The only requirement is that you ask. Too often, people hesitate to seek help from their guides, either out of pride or uncertainty. Michelle reminds us that support is always available, and the more we dialogue with our guides, the clearer and more frequent the messages become.
Letting Go of the Outcome
She also addresses the need to detach from outcomes. When we seek intuitive guidance, particularly for emotionally charged questions, it is easy to project our desires onto the answers. Michelle suggests asking questions as though they are for someone else. For example, rather than asking if a certain relationship is right for you, ask if it is right for your imaginary twin. This removes emotional bias and opens the door to more accurate insights.
Building a Lifelong Dialogue with Your Guides
As the conversation winds down, Michelle offers one final piece of advice for anyone well along the intuitive path. Keep deepening your relationship with the universe. Start talking to your guides out loud, just as you would to a friend. Trust that your questions are being heard and that responses will come when you are ready to receive them.
Michelle’s journey is a powerful reminder that our inner wisdom is not just a spiritual concept, but a practical tool that can guide us through life’s most difficult decisions. Her story is not only inspiring, but also offers tangible steps for anyone ready to listen more deeply to their own intuitive voice.
