How to Deeply Connect With Your Inner Self (and Feel Your Next Breakthrough Coming)

There’s this quiet moment. Maybe you’ve felt it. Where you just know something’s about to shift.

It’s not loud.

It’s not flashy.

But it’s undeniable.

That whisper of a breakthrough, the one you feel in your bones, rarely comes with flashing lights or neon signs. It arrives softly, often only noticeable if we’ve created enough space to actually hear it.

And yet, that’s where most of us get stuck.

Because if we’re honest, many of us are moving too fast, listening to everyone else’s noise, and checking so many boxes that we forget what our own voice even sounds like.

So how do you reconnect? How do you hear yourself again… and know when it’s time to leap?

Here’s what I’ve learned from walking that road:

1. Silence Is Not Optional

I started journaling daily. No filters, just honesty. Sometimes I wrote prayers. Sometimes just a sentence. But every day, I made space to check in with me. Not the mom, not the coach, not the achiever. Just… me.

If you don’t already have even five to ten minutes of silence in your day, start there. No music. No podcast. Just you, your thoughts, and a willingness to listen.

2. Curiosity Is the First Key

It doesn’t take a five-year plan. It takes a question.

For me, it started with this: “Is this really all life is meant for?”

The more I asked, the more I was guided. Not all at once, but through small nudges. That’s what intuition sounds like. That’s how you start to know something is coming, because it begins forming within you long before it shows up around you.

Start asking:

• What feels off right now?

• Where do I feel pulled toward something more?

• What part of me wants to be heard?

3. Nudges Are Meant to Be Followed

But when you trust it and act on it?

That’s where alignment lives.

That’s where confidence grows.

And that’s often what makes the breakthrough happen. Not waiting for it, but walking toward it.

The Unjuggle the Struggle podcast? It started with one of those nudges. I hadn’t even listened to a podcast before. But I said yes. And now here we are, a year later, with over 70 episodes that have shifted my life and so many others.

If You’re Longing for That Breakthrough

Don’t overthink it. Don’t wait for a sign in the sky.

Start small:

• Sit in silence

• Ask the questions

• Write what’s real

• Follow the next small yes

Your inner self already knows. It’s just waiting for the chance to be heard.
