In this powerful episode of Healthy Waves, Erica Ballard—a spiritual teacher, mindfulness facilitator, and former public health expert—unpacks the complex, emotional journey of trusting your intuition even when it feels completely irrational. From being fired on maternity leave to breaking away from an identity built on achievement, Erica shares what it really takes to shift from logic to soul. We dive into the moments when intuition whispers, why high achievers struggle with surrender, and how slowing down can actually open doors to deeper self-awareness and joy.
About the Guest:
Erica Ballard is a former public health professional turned intuitive mentor. Holding a master’s from Tufts University School of Medicine and certifications in Reiki, NLP, and health coaching, Erica helps high-achieving women reconnect with their inner guidance. Featured in Forbes and Women’s Health, her work centers around realignment, spiritual awareness, and living from truth—not titles.
Key Takeaways:
-
Intuition isn’t a spiritual cliché; it often starts with small nudges and preference-based decisions.
-
High achievers resist intuition due to fear and identity attachment.
-
Slowing down is crucial—it’s an act of subtracting what no longer serves you.
-
Following your intuition can unravel old patterns and open up unimaginable joy and truth.
-
Real transformation begins when you sit with fear rather than avoid it.
