Episode #32
How to Calm Your Nervous System & Trust Your Intuition | Maureen Hancock
This episode will change the way you think about stress, intuition, and the signals your body has been trying to send you. In this powerful and surprisingly practical conversation on The Beauty Shift, Michelle sits down with internationally respected medium, author, teacher, and “Comedian Medium” Maureen Hancock. Michelle first met Maureen several years ago at one of her live events and was immediately struck not only by her extraordinary abilities, but by her humor, warmth, and the healing work she does with people experiencing grief and loss. More recently, Michelle joined Maureen for a retreat in Sedona—and came home with an entirely new appreciation for the connection between our bodies, our energy, our intuition, and our ability to slow down enough to actually hear ourselves. That is where this conversation begins. Maureen shares how she first began seeing spirits at just five years old, the devastating car accident that changed the course of her life, and why she ultimately walked away from her corporate career to dedicate her life to helping others. But this episode is about much more than mediumship. Maureen believes that intuition isn't reserved for a gifted few. Her message is simple: “You don’t need a medium. You are the medium.” And she shows you how to begin listening again. Together, Michelle and Maureen explore what happens when we spend too much of our lives stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected from our bodies—and the simple practices that can help us come back to ourselves. In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why chronic stress can make it harder to hear your own intuition - Simple techniques Maureen uses to help calm the nervous system - How to use tapping and somatic movement when you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed - Maureen’s simple lymphatic drainage routine - The connection between your body, stress, and emotions - Why humming, breathing, movement, and grounding can help you slow down - How Maureen believes you can begin strengthening your intuition - How to recognize those little “hits” or nudges you may normally dismiss - Why quieting your mind can make it easier to hear what your inner voice is telling you - What Maureen has learned from decades of working with grief, loss, and people at the end of life - Why learning to trust yourself may be one of the most powerful shifts you can make You’ll also get to practice several of Maureen’s techniques right alongside Michelle during the episode. If you’ve been feeling stressed, exhausted, anxious, disconnected from yourself—or like there is a quieter voice inside of you that you haven’t been listening to—this conversation is for you. Sometimes the answer isn’t doing more. It’s becoming quiet enough to hear what has been there all along. There is something in this episode for wherever you are in your life right now. And you may walk away trusting yourself a little more than you did before.
