    Best quote from Reclaiming Your Inner Compass

    “

    Intuition is more like a muscle that can be trained; it's built on patterns we've observed over time, even if we don't consciously recognize them. It is the part of you that knows beyond logic and serves as an inner compass for authenticity and alignment.

    ”
