Your intuition might not be "broken" at all. It might be doing exactly what trauma trained it to do: scan for danger, brace for impact, and stay ready for the next hit. In Part 2, Maria Aponte and Mindy Jackson dig into what it really looks like to heal trauma from the inside out — not as a glow-up slogan, but as a return to balance, wholeness, and nervous system safety you can actually feel in your body.

They talk through why trauma can amplify intuitive sensitivity, how fear can hijack that signal, and what helps you transmute stuck energy so your inner guidance shifts from threat detection to connection and clarity. Along the way, they get practical about mindfulness, somatic healing, shame, and self-love, including why letting something go can leave a "void" that people often try to fill with shopping, substances, or any quick escape. One of the most useful tools they share is DBT-style "both/and" thinking: you can be grieving and hopeful at the same time, mad and curious, tired and still moving forward — Maria brings this to life with a conversation she'd just had with her own daughter about an upcoming move, hours before this recording, and Mindy reflects it right back with the tools from her own healing journey.

From there, the conversation opens into generational trauma, mental health stigma, and why talking openly now changes what our kids inherit. They explore intuitive gifts, the reclamation of the divine feminine, balancing masculine and feminine energy in relationships and creativity, and the roadblock of scarcity mindset that shows up as "I'm not enough." Mindy closes by sharing her daily rituals for healing and grounding, including reciting the Lord's Prayer in ancient Aramaic — a practice she says brings prayer into the body through vibration and transmutes dense, heavy energy.

If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, start there for her stroke recovery story, her near-death experience, and how generational trauma shaped her earliest years.
