When Did You Stop Trusting Yourself? Intuition, Inner Knowing, and Calming the Chaos | Featuring Kirsten Sharo

<p>What if the voice you&#39;ve spent your entire life trying to silence is actually the one you should trust most?</p><p>Most of us were taught, early and repeatedly, not to trust ourselves.</p><p>Not directly. Through school systems, social norms, performance metrics, and the constant pressure to be logical, productive, and certain.</p><p>We got very good at listening outward.</p><p>In this episode of Possibilities with Monique de Maio, Monique sits down with Kirsten: an intuitive coach, energy healer, Reiki Master Teacher, and animal communicator. Her work is built on a single belief: you already know. You have just forgotten how to hear it.</p><p>Kirsten Sharo has spent years helping people find their way back to themselves.</p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>→  Why children are naturally intuitive and what happens to that ability when we grow up</p><p>→  How Kirsten discovered her own gifts: through her kids, her horse Dicey, and a Reiki book she found at the exact right moment</p><p>→  What your body is actually telling you: the physical signals most of us override every day</p><p>→  The practice of the pause and why the hustle culture we celebrate is working against us</p><p>→  How Kirsten stayed calm in a hospital waiting room on Thanksgiving Day while her husband had a heart attack and what that calm was built on</p><p>→  How to begin tapping into your own intuition, even if you have never tried</p><p>→  What to do when you have unresolved grief or regret with someone who has passed</p><p>→  The misconception that holds the most people back from doing this work</p><p>Monique has worked with Kirsten personally for years. This conversation is candid, grounded, and more practically useful than you might expect.</p><p>If you have ever dismissed a gut feeling, pushed through a signal your body was sending, or wondered why you can trust your instincts at work but not in your own life, this one is for you. </p><p><strong>ABOUT OUR GUEST:</strong></p><p>Kirsten is the creator of the Metatron Animal Knowledge System and founder of Diceys Healing LLC, where she offers private sessions and leads two supportive communities: The Empowered Journey and Whispers of Knowing. </p><p>A full overview of her services is available as a free download on my website: <a href="https://www.moniquedemaio.com/app/uploads/2026/06/112_Possibilities-with-Monique-de-Maio-Podcast_Kirsten-Sharo-DOWNLOAD-.docx.pdf"><u>https://www.moniquedemaio.com/app/uploads/2026/06/112_Possibilities-with-Monique-de-Maio-Podcast_Kirsten-Sharo-DOWNLOAD-.docx.pdf</u></a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>TIMESTAMPS: </strong></p><p><strong>02:00</strong> – What an intuitive medium and energy healer actually does</p><p><strong>03:15</strong> – Why children are naturally intuitive and what shuts it down</p><p><strong>05:00</strong> – Past lives: the story of Kirsten&#39;s youngest and what it started</p><p><strong>06:00</strong> – How Kirsten&#39;s horse Dicey accelerated her intuitive development</p><p><strong>07:50</strong> – The physical signals of intuition: what your body is telling you</p><p><strong>08:45</strong> – Practice the pause: the discipline that unlocks everything</p><p><strong>09:40</strong> – Hustle culture and why the go-go-go kills our inner knowing</p><p><strong>10:30</strong> – Kirsten&#39;s journey: from Reiki book to Reiki master teacher</p><p><strong>16:30</strong> – Calming the chaos: Thanksgiving, a heart attack, and what inner peace looks like under real pressure</p><p><strong>22:00</strong> – How to prepare for an intuitive session and what to expect</p><p><strong>24:10</strong> – Everyone has intuition: how to start tapping in</p><p><strong>25:25</strong> – Unresolved grief and the deceased: you can fix it, everything is energy</p><p><strong>26:55</strong> – Common misconceptions and the dismissal Kirsten still encounters</p><p><strong>30:00</strong> – Parting wisdom and final thoughts </p><p><strong>This podcast is part of our mission to ampl
