I'm Intuit! with Peyton Turner

Following your intuition can look so many different ways. It can mean signing up for that art class when you have never painted in your life, taking a different way home from work and running into an old friend, or simply just knowing what is right for you and what isn't. As parents, though, we not only have to trust our own intuition but also the intuition surrounding our kids.  My lifelong friend and guest Catherine McCord knows this kind of intuition intimately. When her son was very young, he turned down meat and declared himself a vegetarian at age five. Rather than forcing him to eat something, she went with it. Then a few years later he became ill and Catherine once again turned to her own intuition to cure what Western Medicine could not even diagnose. Not only did her son get better, he started to thrive.  Intuitive eating is something we are all born knowing how to do, and Catherine is dedicated to helping families find their own best path to health right in their own kitchens. She empowers parents and their children through her company Weelicious and One Potato, and has fun with her family in the process! It was an honor to talk with Catherine about how she uses her intuition daily to guide her and her family on their journey.  You can find Catherine on all social media platforms @weelicious and @onepotatobox. As always, you can find Peyton at https://peytonhturner.com

There is a joke in her family that she is the Ice Queen, unemotional and final in her decision making. My experience of her, however, has been one of great connection and love. She can sit and cry with you while at the same time tell you exactly what to do to heal. She makes it seem easy because she's right there with you on your journey. Meet my amazing guest Karen Alladin. After graduating from the University of Virginia, she began to apply to medical school. In an effort to boost her chances of acceptance, she elected to do a gap year program at Georgetown University in alternative medicine. She never knew how much she belonged in this kind of healing space until the opportunity presented itself. Once she started, though, she was hooked and there was no going back. From there Karen went to acupuncture school and now runs a successful clinic with her husband. Karen admits that she doesn't really think much about her own intuition, however she knows that this is most likely because she is just so immersed in it with her career. She lives her life intuitively, and to her there really is no other way. In this episode, we talk about healing the energetic body to heal the physical body, how to live in accordance with the seasons, and a possible reason why New Year's Resolutions rarely work. (Hint: it has nothing to do with your level of commitment) It was a joy to sit with Karen for this episode.

Have you ever wondered about the connection between trauma and intuition? Have you experienced the effects of generational, ancestral trauma? Do you know how to use your intuition to speak your truth, even when society tells you that your truth is “flawed”? My good friend and guest Lewis Perkins knows a thing or two about trauma and intuition. As a small child growing up in the South East, he knew that he was gay and that being gay made him “different”. When the outside world clashed with his own inner knowing, he would find a quiet place away from his family to cry. He spent so many years being told by society that he was “wrong”. However the one thing that he knew, without a shadow of a doubt, was that he was ok. Even in his darkest moments, the inner pilot light of his soul told him he was divine. Twenty-eight years of living a lie ended with sobriety and a hard look in the mirror. It also helped him hone what he calls his greatest gifts… empathy and the desire to understand others. Lewis has devoted his life to speaking up not only for his truth, but the truth for others who cannot speak up for themselves. A leader in the textile industry, his company is dedicated to reducing the impact on the environment and ending slave labor. In doing so, he is not only healing his current life trauma, but the trauma that has carried down through his family for generations. It was a joy and an honor to sit with Lewis for this incredible conversation. And, as always, spirit showed up in a really beautiful way for him with a visit from his grandfather and a message of love through song and pennies.

Do you ever wonder if cops use intuition? Have you ever questioned what makes one person turn to drug addiction and another turn to law enforcement? Do you know how someone can incur a lifetime of trauma and “succeed”, while another can “fail”?  In this very special episode of “I'm Intuit!”, I had the privilege of discussing all of these topics and more with 14 year police veteran Britt Garrett. Britt took a lifetime of trauma and turned it into huge success as a decorated police officer. However, in doing so she created a very constrictive box of rules in which she thought she must live to survive. The lightbulb moment for Britt came during a conversation with a friend about the rights of drug addicts. Britt thought they should all be arrested. Her friend thought they deserved compassion. This led Britt on a path of self discovery that has changed the course of her life and career in epic and magnificent ways. Britt and I talk about trauma, yoga, intuition, ego, and what it would mean to truly leave the past in the past and face the future without the shackles of trauma. In this episode, I also do a live card pull and future reading for Britt, uncovering a recent development in Britt's life that was a surprise for me. Talking with this beautiful and powerful woman was such a gift, and I can't wait to share it with you!  If you have any questions on how to support Britt and how she is bringing much needed change to the police force, email me at peyton@peytonhturner.com

Have you ever been brought to your knees? Have you ever been so sick that everything you had built your life around, even simple daily tasks like holding a spoon, became impossible or overwhelming? Have you ever had to put your entire faith into voices that only you could hear? My incredible guest on the episode has been through all of this and more. Meet Jamie Homeister. At the pinnacle of her career, she was world renowned for painting feathers. However, she knew that she was not living up to her calling. In an act of sheer desperation, she dropped to her knees and asked for guidance. What followed was a series of medical challenges that left her incapacitated. This sudden halt to her formerly high-demand lifestyle allowed her to connect to her own intuition and Spirit. When all she could do was meditate, she began to tune into that inner knowing and listen to her intuition speak. It was through this practice that she began her healing journey and found her true calling. In this episode, Jamie and I talk about how she uses her artistic abilities and her extensive knowledge of color and auras to help heal clients through deep connection. Jamie tells the story of the day her world turned upside down and how she was able to turn her life from fear into profound gratitude through intuition. We discuss the importance of setting boundaries as a means to care for ourselves, how our “enemies” are really our greatest teachers, and how she uses color to create beautiful chakragraphs for her clients (she works with 108 different colors and they each have a different meaning!). Jamie's life has been completely transformed by following her own intuition and her dedication to her shamanic practice. This is an episode that you do not want to miss!

Have you ever felt a calling? A pull from the center of your heart that begs you to step into the unknown? Have you ever felt like your entire identity has been dismantled, only to be rebuilt into something more amazing and beautiful than you could ever imagine? Meet my guest, Robyn O'Brien. Once called “Food's Erin Brockovich” by the New York Times and Bloomberg, Robyn left her demanding and high powered corporate finance job to move to Colorado and raise her children. When her daughter Tory was diagnosed with a food allergy, her world turned upside down. Determined to put her analytical and data-loving background to good use, she started educating herself on the food system. What she found was shocking. Determined to educate other parents about the safety of the food they were feeding their children, she faced seemingly insurmountable scrutiny from the giant industries who were threatened by her determination, passion, and mission. During this time, she felt terribly alone. However she never lost her faith, and trusting her heart and her intuition led her to beautiful opportunities and friendships that she cherishes to this day. In this episode, Robyn and I talk about what it takes to be a woman in today's society and how trusting our intuition is the key to our power. We have both learned that walking the spiritual path is a continuous journey of constriction and expansion, and that age and wisdom has taught us that there is always light on the other side of the darkness. Robyn explains how changing the word “failure” to “experience” has made all the difference to how she approaches life, both in her career and in her relationships. All of the years she has spent fighting for transparency and equality in the food industry have led her to her current position as Co-founder and Director of Partnerships at rePlant Capital, which helps farmers transition from conventional farming to regenerative and organic farming while improving profitability. Robyn has dedicated her life to being a light of hope in the food industry. She is a force of love, and her energy shines through in this special episode.

Have you ever had predictive dreams? How do you know when your intuitive gift is coming in? How do you know when to follow the path into the spiritual realm? How can these gifts be used to heal yourself and others? Can there be too much of this magical gift? In this special birthday episode, Peyton (the birthday girl!) answers these questions and more as she is interviewed by special guest host Pete Buecker. In this rare turn of the tables, you get a deep dive into Peyton's own journey, where she is now, what she has learned along the way, and where she is headed next. From the halls of the hospital to the shores of spirit, this is a journey that will inspire and intrigue you. If you would like to talk to Peyton about developing your own spiritual gifts, schedule an intuitive medical reading, or to gain clarity regarding what a complete holistic healing experience for autoimmune disease would look like for you, you can contact her at: peyton@peytonhturner.com or follow her (and DM) on Instagram @peytonhturner_intuitive You can also follow Peter on Instagram @thepeacefulbull

Have you ever felt the call to something bigger than yourself? Have you ever felt like you are standing in the open, stripped naked, unsure of whether to run and hide or continue shedding all of the things that are weighing you down? As a six year old child, did you ever stand in the middle of a shut down New York City highway during a snowstorm and let the wind fill your open coat like the sails of a ship so that you could take flight? In this episode, meet Gina Millard, shamanic practitioner and healer. We talk about how she was called to the path of shamanism and how it has transformed her life in every way. As a very young girl, Gina knew that there was something “beyond” ordinary reality. Through traveling to spirit realms in her dreams and connecting to nature powerfully (even while living in Brooklyn), Gina has spent her life walking the path of the shaman. An autoimmune disease and the physical symptoms that resulted marked a time of dismemberment for her and really tested her faith. It was only after choosing to surrender control to spirit (not easy for this former Type A personality) that she found true healing, for her mind, body, and soul. Her story of courage serves as inspiration, and in this episode she shares how she triumphed from a diagnosis that she says simply was not her. This was an amazing discussion, filled with so many nuggets of wisdom that every human can use to transform their lives. Join me and Gina as we illustrate how the powerful tools of an ancient shamanic practice are applicable to each and every modern life. There's also a little surprise message for Gina from her father and a message of hope from Gina to you.  Gina Millard can be reached through her website http://www.shamansfire.live/ (www.shamansfire.live) or on her Facebook page Shaman's Fire **Find out more about Peyton and how you can be Intuit! at https://peytonhturner.com (https://peytonhturner.com)

Are you brave enough to leave everything you know behind and move over 2,000 miles away for a boy (or girl) you just met? Do you have the courage to open a progressive school for kids during a pandemic when all other schools are closing? Do you know how to say yes to your intuition when literally everyone around you  is screaming no? Meet Beth Loster, Founder and Owner of A Thousand Mornings Forest School in Santa Barbara. In this episode, Beth talks about how she has learned to silence the curmudgeon in her head that lives in fear and uses words like “should” and “no”. Instead, Beth has learned to listen to that inner voice in side of her, her own inner philosopher, to guide her on her life's journey. After spending years trying on different personalities, from Bohemian to Star Student to Wild Child, she finally found that just being herself brought her the peace she so longed to embrace. Beth has dedicated her life to guiding young children to trust their inner knowing through outdoor play, and her hope is that her work will create a generation of humans who never lose touch with their own unique intuition. Following her intuition, she has built a thriving forest school and a beautiful family with the boy she followed across the country. Beth shares her amazing philosophy on education, and how personal empowerment is possible in even the smallest of humans, as long as the adults get out of the way. It was a pleasure to sit with Beth for this episode of I'm Intuit!

Have you ever met someone who has been struck by lightening? What about someone who has touched one of the rare crystal skulls, or who has talked to His Holiness the Dalai Lama? Have you ever met a kid who used his mind to correct his vision so much that he no longer needed his new glasses? In this episode, I interview all of those people, wrapped up into one magical human package. Ron Whitehead, the Rebel Poet, is nothing short of fantastic, and he has used his intuition as his guiding light since he was a small boy growing up in rural Kentucky. Ron has been redefining what it means to be free since he first realized that there was more to spirituality than his Southern Baptist roots.  In this episode, Ron talks about the boxes that societal norms have placed him in, and his internal struggle between his desire to be the best at living in the box (the best coal miner, the best car salesman, the best husband), and his desire to live uncaged. Ron has dedicated his life to spiritual growth, which at times has not been easy. But, he always answers the call of spirit, whether it comes in the form of a whisper or a roar (like the time his car was struck by lightening leaving him temporarily blind). Following his intuition has brought him peace and deep healing through the trials and tribulations of life, and has ignited Ron's passion to spread peace and love in his most authentic, original way… by just being himself. This special episode wraps up with a message from the Dalai Lama. Believe me when I say that this message is meant just for you. Ron can be found all over YouTube or in any Google search of his name. 

Have you ever wondered if you were and Egyptian king or queen in a past life? Did you burn at the stake in Salem Massachusetts (like me)? Does your fear of water come from a boating accident when you were a viking? If any of these questions interest you, then you are in luck, friends. In this episode, special guest Kim Reece sheds light on this fascinating concept, and shows us how we can use past life regression to heal present life pain. Kim Reece is not only beautiful, she is powerfully intuitive, whip smart, and super passionate about a lot of things, including her spiritual work. She is certified to aid clients in past life regression, and is a spiritual medium and an expert on numerology. In this episode, we talk about the healing power of learning about our past lives. Kim and I both share personal stories our own experiences with this powerful tool, and how learning about our past life trauma has brought us clarity and peace. Kim also gets a special message from her grandmother, talks about her childhood imaginary friends, and gives us an explanation of the energy behind the year 2020 and what we can expect in 2021. HINT: the next year is all about FREEDOM!  Kim can be reached through her website http://www.kimreecereadings.com/ (www.kimreecereadings.com), or you can follow her on Instagram at @kimreecereadings

You don't have to be a practicing medium to use your intuition everyday. In fact, our intuition is the most natural part of who we are as humans! In this episode, life and business coach Erin Anderson describes the first memory she has of her intuition, and shares with us how both using it and ignoring it has shaped her life.  At age eleven, Erin could sense that something was “off” in her family. Later she learned that she was right. However, years of being dismissed as a “sensitive” child taught her to squash her intuition. Into her teens and twenties Erin found herself feeling more and more constricted every day. It wasn't until she found herself with two small children, literally drooling on the couch and looking for a personal revolution, that she once again listened to her intuition and signed up for a yoga retreat that she could not afford. Logically she should have said no. But instead, she trusted her gut and said yes. That week long training with Baron Baptiste opened doors for Erin that she never even dreamed possible, and taught her that above all, when your brain tries desperately to prove to you why you should say no, it is always best to listen to that tiny voice that gently whispers “yes”. It was an honor for me to sit with Erin and discuss how we can use intuition in our day to day lives, how to protect ourselves energetically, and how to be an empath and hold healthy space for others (a trick she learned from her dad when they were leading expeditions in the Himalayas). We talk about shifting the dialogue from “being present” to being in a state of awareness, how we can honor the SOUL and the GOAL, and what her mom's message from the other side means for her today. HINT: it's all about the art of slowing down. For more information on Erin, follow her on Instagram (@livebigco) or check out her website http://www.livebigco.com/ (www.livebigco.com)
