SummaryWhat if your most valuable knowing arrives before you can prove it? In a world that rewards data, evidence, and rational thinking, intuition can be easy to dismiss even when it has been quietly guiding you all along.Investor, medium, and global keynote speaker Naiana Miranda joins Elaine to explore what becomes possible when intellect and intuition stop competing and start working together. Naiana shares the experiences that shaped her leadership journey, how a near-death experience changed her understanding of consciousness and connection, and why she believes intuition grows stronger when we practice trusting it.You will discover how to recognize inner knowing, build trust one moment at a time, meet uncertainty with greater self-compassion, and bring intention into the way you give, lead, invest, and create. The invitation is not to abandon intellect, but to expand the information you are willing to receive and use.Topics Covered0:00 What do you know before you can prove it?5:02 Trance mediumship, shared intention, and combining energies9:09 Trust the process, step by step11:14 Naiana’s path from the Amazon to leadership training14:12 The experience that changed Naiana’s relationship with intuition19:04 Abundance as unwavering faith and Divine reciprocity22:17 Why intellect and intuition work better together24:45 Practicing intuition and the Mindsight experience29:39 Self-acceptance when intuition feels uncertain31:16 Rebuilding trust one present moment at a time37:21 Giving more without fear and living within your means39:49 Impact investing, women, and aligning money with values44:04 Practicing intuition in community46:10 Trust yourself and stay open to the magicKey Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)Intellect and intuition do not have to compete.

What if your body knows what you want before your mind can explain it? Artist, photographer, movement teacher, and Permission Project creator Elizabeth “Liz” Janowski joins Elaine to explore why authentic inner knowing often begins below the neck—and how freeform movement can help you hear it.Liz shares how motherhood led her back into her body, why desire is a life-giving force, and how years of social conditioning can make women override their own yeses and nos. You’ll discover simple ways to slow down, notice sensation, use touch and music intentionally, and create enough inner safety to recognize what feels true for you.This conversation invites you to stop outsourcing your knowing, treat your body as a trusted partner, and reconnect with the clarity, coherence, pleasure, and self-trust that become available when mind, body, and spirit are aligned.Topics Covered (with timestamps)0:00 What if your body already knows the answers you’re searching for?3:55 Three conscious breaths, the episode Intention, and noticing Divine signals in the body7:35 Why freeform movement is not about learning dance moves—it’s about authentic expression9:07 “The body knows first”: desire, social conditioning, and learning what you actually want10:24 How motherhood led Liz to movement and the creation of the Permission Project13:00 Using the body as a receiver for intuition, inner knowing, and “warmer/colder” guidance15:34 Liz’s definition of abundance: alignment and coherence of mind, body, and spirit18:55 The body stories women carry—and how pleasing others can drown out your authentic response21:01 Why safety, slowness, and embodiment can expand the story you hold about yourself24:31 Coming home to the body in a screen-driven world—and expressing your unique yes26:16 Touch, self-validation, and creating the feeling you want from within28:56 Two simple practices to hear your body: sensory pleasure and making space to feel32:34 How listening to your body can reduce reactivity and reveal what is really happening33:39 Liz’s music-compilation gift for dropping into your body and clarifying desire37:04 A final reminder: give yourself grace, listen a little more, and bring your body to the partyKey Takeaways (Skimmable Wins)Your body may register a true yes or no before your thinking mind has words for it.Desire is not something to suppress; it can be a life-giving signal that helps you recognize what is aligned for you.Freeform movement creates a way to express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to reach through thought alone.Self-trust grows when you create enough safety and quiet to notice sensation instead of automatically responding to other people’s needs and expectations.Small sensory choices—comfortable fabric, warm water, affectionate touch, music, rest—can help you rebuild an intimate relationship with your own preferences.Abundance can be experienced as coherence: mind, body, and spirit arriving at the same wholehearted yes.Step-by-Step Process SharedCome Home to Your BodyCreate signals of safety → slow down, get comfortable, reduce expectations, and give yourself space to feel.Notice what feels good → pay attention to texture, temperature, taste, touch, music, beauty, and other sensory cues.Let yourself feel what is present → rather than immediately managing or overriding emotion, give it room to move through you.Listen for the yes and the no → notice what expands, contracts, excites, settles, or feels distinctly “not for me.”Express what you discover → move, reach out, ask for affection, have the conversation, or make a choice that honors your authentic response.Listen to the episode for Liz’s lived examples and Elaine’s reflections on using the body as a receiver for inner guidance.Questions Answered in This EpisodeHow can I tell what my body is trying to communicate before my mind talks me out of it?Why do so many women lose touch with what they genuinely want?How can freeform movement help emotions and inner knowing become easier to access?What does abundance feel like when mind, body, and spirit are aligned?What are simple ways to begin rebuilding trust, pleasure, and connection with my body today?Pull Quotes“I actually think the body knows first.” — Liz Janowski“Abundance is being in alignment with your mind, your body, and your spirit all in one place.” — Liz Janowski“Just to remember that you have a body is already a success in itself.” — Liz JanowskiFree GiftShare what you Loved and what you Learned from this episode to Download the Spiritual Alignment & Conscious Actions Guide — your roadmap to reconnect with The Divine, raise your vibration, and live as the woman your soul designed you to be.TheAbundanceJourney.com/Contact — click the Share My Thoughts button and complete the Google form to automatically receive your free gift.Guest GiftLiz shares a series of short music compilations designed to help you drop into your body, listen more deeply, and begin moving with your desires.
