Doubting Everything: Trust Your Intuition When You've Lost It | Tania Ho
You don't need a data point or a life-altering diagnosis to trust your intuition again — you need to survive the moment you stopped trusting it, and rebuild from there. "No, I'm gonna trust myself and not follow what you said," says Tania Ho, describing the moment her retreat-centre partnership with her own teacher broke down. "That was the beginning of that breakdown. And there were so many other moments too — that's what the industry is doing, that's what the trends are, that's what other people are doing. But it's so important always to come back to myself." Tania isn't a data person, and this isn't a stat-driven conversation — it's an experiential one, built on nine years of running a wellness retreat from the ground up with no construction or hospitality-management background to fall back on. We talk about what happened when Tania, an intuitive soul guide and the founder of Museflower Retreat & Spa in Chiang Rai, Thailand, quit her spa management job after her father died at 25, co-founded a retreat centre with a teacher she trusted completely, and then watched that partnership implode within six months of opening. She talks about the doubt spiral that followed — "can I really trust myself?" — and how she rebuilt from there, not by finding a better teacher to follow, but by learning to trust her own gut instead. We also get into the two types of sensitive people she sees at her retreats, why she runs an all-vegetarian, coffee-free centre on purpose, and how she reads the difference between a guest who needs a spa day and one who needs to properly fall apart for a week. Tania Ho is the founder and owner of Museflower Retreat & Spa, an all-inclusive vegetarian wellness retreat centre in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand, and an intuitive soul guide helping sensitive people trust their own intuition through energy tools, oracle card readings and fire release ceremonies. She's also the host of Embrace Your Sacred Nature, her own podcast on wellness practices and energy tools. museflowerretreat.com Connect with Tania Ho: https://musefloweretreat.com/ https://taniaho.me/ https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/exploring-meditation-styles-with-tania-ho/id1639714009?i=1000631575793 Welcome to the Journey to Purpose Podcast — your guide to personal transformation, spiritual awakening, and finding meaning.
