Is it Discomfort or a Sign? Understanding Your Inner Guidance System
In this soulful and insightful episode, I’m joined by Michelle Wollaston — writer, spiritual advocate, and host of The Soul Loom Podcast. Michelle brings a deep and compassionate approach to helping women who’ve spent years over-functioning in roles, relationships, or workplaces that left them feeling invisible. Through her unique blend of grounded coaching and soul-level wisdom, she guides women back to their intuition, voice, and vitality — without spiritual bypassing or burnout.
We dive into the concept of the Comfort Meter — Michelle’s way of helping people understand that discomfort is often your intuition trying to speak. Whether it shows up as a subtle whisper or a loud wake-up call, these feelings are often signs from your body, soul, or the universe that something isn’t aligned. We explore how fear, especially the fear of change, can cloud our clarity and how taking small empowered steps can help you move from anxiety into trust. Michelle shares practical tools for tuning in, including reflection prompts, boundary-setting, and learning to recognize patterns that keep repeating until we finally listen.
This conversation is all about learning to trust your inner signals — not just in the big, obvious moments, but in the small, quiet nudges too. Michelle reminds us that everything we need is already within us — and that imperfect action, intuitive awareness, and self-compassion are powerful tools for transformation.

"Anything that is meant to happen for you, will happen for you seamlessly. And if they don't happen perfectly and there are bumps in the road, what is the bump for? There is usually always a pattern to the bumps." - Michelle Wollaston
