Is it anxiety or intuition? How to tap into the power within

hands holding up mini lights, kerry hanna coaching blog on the power of intution

A long time ago…

In a drive-in theatre far, far away…

(Kamloops, BC, Canada to be exact)

I saw Star Wars for the very first time.

I was completely awestruck by the story, characters, and those mind-blowing (at the time!) special effects.

But what impressed me the most?

The Force.

That invisible powerful energy that could guide you.

If you were willing to listen.

Even back then, I knew The Force was real.

I just called it something different…

My intuition.

That little niggle, deep inside, gently pulling me toward what felt right (even if I couldn’t explain why).

Years later, when my son was little, I passed on my love of Star Wars to him…

Building endless Lego sets, watching the movies together, buying him his first jedi Halloween costume…

And (of course) teaching him the importance of trusting his own inner Force.

So today I wanted to remind you that:

The Force is within you, too.

It’s your intuition.

Gut instinct. Inner wisdom. Inner knowing.

(call it what you may)

Yet if you’re like many of the women I coach, you might not always trust it.

Maybe you’ve been listening to what others think you “should” do.

So when your intuition tries to speak, it’s hard to hear it.

You second-guess yourself.

Feel a gentle nudge inside but brush it off.

Worry you’re being selfish.

“Too sensitive. Or “too much.” 🙊

Like one of my clients, who was questioning a decision she’d recently made.

Even though it wasn’t sitting right with her, she said:

“Is this my intuition…or just anxiety?”

“Maybe I’m just being ridiculous?”

“Maybe I’m overreacting?”

She was so focused on being nice

And not hurting the other person…

She hadn’t realized she was hurting herself — by ignoring her own truth.

Yet deep down her heart knew…

“This isn’t right for me.”

Here’s the thing:

Your intuition is never wrong.

It might whisper instead of shout.

It might feel unfamiliar at first.

But it’s always there…gently guiding you back to yourself.

And when you begin to trust the power of your intuition — even just a little — everything shifts.

Life feels lighter, clearer, and more aligned. 💫

You stop living by everyone else’s expectations.

And start living by your own.

So if you’ve been second-guessing yourself…

Or feeling out of touch with that quiet voice inside — you’re not alone.

That’s why I created something to help you reconnect with the power of your intuition:
