In this deeply personal and reflective episode, I share a recent experience with my pony King that challenged me to practise what I preach about intuition, embodiment, and leadership.What started as a riding lesson turned into a powerful leadership moment — one where I realised I knew something was off, but hesitated to act. Through King’s quiet cues, I was reminded how easy it is to override our inner knowing — and how vital it is to listen, pause, and trust ourselves, even when it’s uncomfortable.This story isn't just about horses. It’s about:Why we ignore our intuition (and how to recognise when we are)The subtle, internal cues we dismiss in favour of logic, politeness, or hopeHow to build the muscle of listening to your inner guidanceWhat it really means to lead from within — even when it’s messyWhether you lead a team, a business, or your own healing journey, this episode is an invitation to honour your internal compass and strengthen your ability to act when the whisper first arrives. What You’ll Learn:The three common reasons we override intuition: logic, being “nice,” and hopeHow those moments often echo back later as “I knew it…”A gentle 3-step practice to start listening and responding differentlyWhy those lessons aren’t failures — they’re wisdom in the making Journal Prompt:Think about a moment when you knew something — but didn’t act. What held you back? What did you learn in the aftermath? And how might you show up differently next time?Connect with Merinda:Instagram: @IamMerindaSmithWebsite: www.merindasmith.com.au
