Stop Trying to Be Spiritual

Ep.99- The Process That Finally Unblocks Your Intuition

If you've been trying to strengthen your intuition but keep feeling disconnected, second-guessing yourself, or wondering if you're getting it "right," this episode is for you. The truth is, most people aren't blocked because they lack intuitive gifts. They're blocked because they're approaching spirituality through control, perfectionism, and performance. In this episode, I walk you through the energetic process I use to move out of fear and into flow, where intuition naturally becomes clearer. You'll learn why trying harder often pushes your intuition further away, how to recognize when you're operating from control instead of trust, and what it actually feels like to become a clear channel for your own inner wisdom. By the end of this episode, you'll have a completely different understanding of what it means to connect with your intuition—and why it gets to feel a whole lot easier than you've been taught.

Ep.98- The Hidden Addiction Many Spiritual People Have

Do you ever feel like your spiritual practice isn't giving you what it used to? Maybe the signs aren't as strong. The downloads feel quieter. The connection feels ordinary. And a part of you wonders if you're blocked or doing something wrong. In this episode, we're exploring a hidden pattern that many spiritual people fall into without realizing it: becoming attached to spiritual highs. We talk about why profound experiences aren't the goal of spiritual growth, why your practice may feel repetitive at times, and how true connection is often found in the quiet moments rather than the dramatic ones. If you've been chasing signs, waiting for the next breakthrough, or wondering why your connection feels different than it did in the beginning, this conversation may completely shift the way you view your spiritual journey. You'll learn: • Why spiritual highs can become addictive • The difference between intensity and genuine connection • What spiritual downloads actually are • Why quiet seasons are often periods of deep growth • How to create a sustainable relationship with your intuition and spirit The goal isn't to leave yourself. It's to become more fully present within yourself. Work 1:1 with me at: www.lailataylor.com [www.lailataylor.com] Follow on IG / TikTok @laila.l.taylor

Ep. 97- How to Know If It's Spirit or Just Your Mind

How do you know if it's your intuition, spirit guidance, or just your own mind talking? This is one of the biggest challenges people face when developing their intuitive abilities. Many people spend years second-guessing themselves, searching for certainty, and wondering if they're making it all up. In this episode, I share what discernment actually is, why intuition isn't something separate from you, and how to begin recognizing the subtle differences between spirit, intuition, fear, ego, and mental chatter. We'll explore why trust is built through experience, the energetic state that makes intuitive communication clearer, and the practices that help you move out of overthinking and into genuine inner knowing. Inside this episode: • How to know if it's spirit or your mind • The role of discernment in intuitive development • Why certainty is not the goal • The difference between intuition, fear, and mental chatter • How to strengthen trust in what you're receiving • Why staying in the heart changes everything • The energetic practices that create a clearer channel • How intuitive wisdom develops over time If you've ever wondered whether you're making it all up, this conversation will help you understand why doubt is part of the journey and how true trust is built through lived experience.

Ep. 96- The Missing Piece of Spiritual Awakening: Learning to Witness Yourself

Self-love is one of the most common messages people receive during spiritual awakening. Love yourself more. Choose yourself. Be kinder to yourself. But what if the reason self-love feels so difficult isn't because you're doing it wrong? What if you simply haven't been taught how to witness yourself? In this episode, I explore the missing piece of spiritual awakening: learning to return to yourself. We discuss why so many intuitive and empathic people lose themselves in caretaking, how your spirit guides continually direct you back toward your own soul, and why true self-love begins with awareness, curiosity, and presence. Because you cannot love what you do not witness. We explore: • Why self-love often feels impossible during spiritual awakening • How childhood conditioning shapes your sense of worthiness • Why many empaths become disconnected from themselves • The connection between self-awareness, intuition, and psychic abilities • How to hold your own energy and create spiritual containment • A simple practice for witnessing yourself with compassion • What it means to speak over yourself during moments of fear, confusion, and uncertainty To be witnessed is to be loved. And perhaps one of the greatest acts of healing is learning to witness yourself with the same compassion you've always given to others.

Ep. 95-The Fear of Being Seen During Spiritual Awakening

Have you ever felt afraid to fully trust yourself because of what other people might think? In this episode, I share a personal experience that forced me to confront one of my deepest fears: being seen, judged, and misunderstood by the people closest to me. What I discovered was that beneath that fear was something even deeper: the fear of abandoning myself to keep others comfortable. Together, we'll explore the hidden relationship between shame, fear of judgment, and spiritual awakening, and why so many intuitive women find themselves holding back, questioning themselves, or struggling to fully step into who they are. By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of what may be keeping you stuck, why these fears feel so powerful, and how to move through them with curiosity, compassion, and choice so you can stop hiding and start trusting yourself more fully.
