Intuition, discernment and Full-Body Yes...

Yasmeen Turayhi
About this episode

In this episode, my dear friend Mary Sheehan flips the mic and interviews me, Yasmeen Turayhi about what intuition really is, how to tell a full-body “yes” from a half-yes, and simple daily practices that make inner guidance reliable, breath, grounding kriyas, journaling, and future-self scripting. 

Then Yasmeen turns the conversation to Mary to explore Propel, her cohort-based program for ambitious working parents, and the MVP (Minimum Viable Person) method that helps busy people create space for what matters. Practical, candid, and a little bit magicall, tune in for tools you can use today. Links in the show notes.

“Use your intuition first, then use your logic to make sense of it; both are necessary.” — Yasmeen Turayhi

“Discernment will be the superpower of the future.” — Yasmeen Turayhi“A full-body yes feels expansive and warm in the heart; a half-yes contracts and closes you down.” — Yasmeen Turayhi

“When you’re grounded and full of yourself, you become a tuning fork for higher intelligence.” — Yasmeen Turayhi

“Micro habits compound: five minutes a day becomes a lifetime of change.” — Mary Sheehan

“Design your life with values — people spend more time planning vacations than designing their lives.” — Mary Sheehan

In this warm, conversational episode, my friend Mary Sheehan interviews me and

We cover:

  • A clear, practical definition of intuition (why it’s not the same as fear or reactive instinct).

  • How to sense a “full-body yes” vs. a half-yes—what your gut, heart, and mind are telling you.

  • Micro habits that build clarity: grounding kriyas, breathwork, movement, journaling, and simple scripting/visualization to design a 10/10 experience.

  • The role of discernment in a world of noise and manipulation—and how to regain center after energy drains.

  • Real outcomes from Mary’s Propel cohorts: people choosing better-fitting jobs, launching creative projects, and reclaiming time through value-driven decisions.

  • Practical rituals for busy parents: the MVP (Minimum Viable Person) method and one-minute practices that compound into real change.

We also share how to learn more, InnerKnowingSchool.com and propelyourself.com and give a sneak peek into Yasmeen’s forthcoming book.
