Christina Lewis: Trust your Intuition

The Collective Wisdom Podcast with Cat Preston

Hey there, my wise friends and a warm welcome to episode 49 of Collective Wisdom, which today is all about having babies. There's something just so magical about meeting and holding a new baby for the first time that never gets old. I first met Christina when we were both on the same coach training course. And I loved her story about being in a meditation and having a vision of herself sitting with a woman holding space for her and really listening. What she took from that is that she wanted to become a coach. So, she trusted her intuition and signed up for the course and just afterwards discovered she was pregnant with her third child, which was a welcome surprise, but left her wondering if that was the right time to carry on training. Something inside her told her to just keep going and trust the process, which for me, always means trust yourself. And sure enough, thanks to the pregnancy, she's found herself discovering real meaning and purpose as a coach and is now helping other women experience a positive and empowering pregnancy and birth and a mindful transition to motherhood through her work as a doula and a coach for pregnant women and new mothers. And as you'll hear, she really is sharing her own lived experience, and using that to inform her work. It was a fascinating conversation about leaning into your intuition as a mother, and one which I think you'll really enjoy.
