Because once you know the truth, you can’t unknow it.
There are moments in life when logic is too small to hold what we feel.
Maybe you’ve had one of those moments. The kind where something inside you speaks before your mind has time to catch up. A knowing. A nudge. A whisper in the body that says:
Pay attention… something here is real.
For me, that knowing grew louder after losing my brother. Grief has a way of breaking us open, and in that breaking, I found myself searching for him—wanting to know he was okay. I didn’t have the language for intuition yet. I only had longing. I only had love that didn’t know where to go.
But grief changed the frequency of my life. I began noticing small things. Moments that felt like messages, or protection, or presence. And the more I leaned in, the more I realized something:
We are all intuitive.
Some of us just remember it sooner than others.
Intuition After Loss: Trying to Connect with Someone I Could Not See
I started reading, listening, learning, and stretching toward anything that might help me understand what I was feeling. Not to escape grief— but to understand it.
I wanted to know if my brother was at peace.
Terrie’s story on the podcast mirrored this in a powerful way. She also reached toward intuition after losing someone she loved deeply. For both of us, it wasn’t about being psychic in a movie-script kind of way—it was about love, connection, and needing to know that death isn’t the end of relationship.
When Terrie said she believes angels were with her the day she was hit by a car, something in me recognized that. I have also had moments where I say:
Something showed up just in time.
Maybe you have, too.
The Knowing We Can’t Unknow
There is a moment in the episode where Terrie talks about turning “no” (N-O) into “know” (K-N-O-W).
That resonated through my bones.
It reminded me of a conversation I once had in my marriage. I remember asking:
Do you want me to share something with you that I know?
And the answer I got was honest, and difficult:
No. Because if I know it, I can’t unknow it… and I don’t want to know more than I do.
I didn’t blame him for that. Not everyone wants to walk with intuition. Not everyone is ready to see what the soul shows us.
But later, when it was time for me to leave that marriage, my spirit already knew. The body always tells the truth first. You can’t unknow what your intuition has shown you, even if it complicates your life. Even if it breaks your heart. Even if it requires you to become someone you weren’t sure you were allowed to be.
Leaving was hard in the physical world…
but spiritually, it was already done.
We Do Not All Have the Same Path, But We All Have Access
Some people hear intuition.
Some people feel it.
Some dream it.
Some sense it in the body—goosebumps, chills, tightness, warmth.
Some, like Terrie, survive something that cracks them open.
Some, like me, lose someone and begin listening differently.
And maybe you’re somewhere inside your own beginning.
A Life That Aligns With Your Truth
The more I learn, the more I believe this:
-Intuition is not a talent.
-It’s a birthright.
-A sense we’ve been trained to ignore.
Terrie said something that stays with me:
“Once you find your voice, you cannot go back.”
And that is the backbone of intuition.
Once you know, you can’t unknow.
You can fight it.
You can delay it.
But eventually, you will feel life moving you toward truth.
If You Are Learning to Trust Your Intuition…
Here is what I hope you remember:
-You are not imagining it.
-Your body is wise.
-Love does not end when a heartbeat does.
-You get to live a life that matches your soul.
-You are allowed to change.
You are allowed to become someone your old life wasn’t built to hold.
One Last Breath, Together
Before you go, place a hand on your heart—just for a moment.
In…
and out.
You are here.
You are guided.
And you are not alone in what you feel.
With Love, Heather
