Do you remember a time when you just knew exactly what to do or what decision to make when you were faced with a difficult, or even easy, choice?

It could have been about something small – where to go for dinner that evening, or something big like whether to quit a job or apply for a different one.

We’ve all had these seemingly insignificant moments in our lives where we just knew that the choice we were making was the right one.

How did you know?

Have you considered what signals from within yourself you were interpreting that told you it was the right choice?

Because if you are able to identify what those signals are, then you can create a conscious decision-making strategy for yourself whenever you’re faced with a difficult decision in the future.

Formula for Success

I remember when I was first studying Coaching and I was asked to reflect on this. What was my “Formula for Success”. In other words, what was it about decisions that succeeded, or went right for me?

I remember determining that it was when I “felt 100% committed” to something, that it followed through as successful.

I wasn’t at that time able to tell you what enabled me to be 100% committed as, unfortunately, the process I was taken through didn’t involve accessing all of my human intelligences to find out.

However, I am grateful that many years later, I have unlocked what those signals from all of my human intelligences are, and now I have a robust way of helping me make decisions that are not only going to be successful, but that are also Soul-Aligned.

Soul-Aligned Sparks – What are they?

So you’re going to hear me speaking about “Soul-Aligned Sparks” a LOT. This is what I’m calling those signals that our human intelligences give us. And these signals combined could also be called your intuition or inner truth. They are signals from the “voice” inside of you that is that quiet, unshakable knowing – the voice of your soul that whispers (or sometimes shouts!) when you’re living in alignment with who you truly are.

Examples include…

• Physical goosebumps on your arms / down your neck / from head to toe.
• A gut-level, instinctive pull—like a magnet drawing you forward. It’s immediate, visceral, and feels like your body is lit up with energy. For me, it’s a loud “FUCK YES” that bubbles up, often with excitement or a physical urge to move.
• A sense of emotional clarity that emerges over time. This isn’t a quick gut hit but a wave of calm certainty after riding the highs and lows of your emotions. Your “YES” feels like a warm, settled knowing in your heart.
• A quiet, instantaneous whisper of intuition, often felt in the moment. It’s like a subtle nudge or a “knowing” in your body—maybe a tingle, a sense of safety, or a sudden clarity.
• A heart-centered desire or a bold urge to act that feels deeply personal. Your “YES” comes from what you desire, unapologetically, often with a sense of conviction or power.
• A sense of alignment when you express your true self, often through speaking or being witnessed. Your “YES” feels like your identity clicks into place, especially in conversation with trusted others.
• A deep clarity that unfolds over a longer period of time, often weeks. Your “YES” feels like a consistent, gentle resonance that grows stronger with time, often tied to your environment and community.
• A mental clarity that comes from being in the right environment or with the right people. Your “YES” feels like your mind is clear and your surroundings amplify your truth.

Your Human Intelligences

Remember to be curious about how all of your human intelligences are speaking to you.

• What sensations do you feel in your body? And where?
• What emotions do you feel? Are they excited? Fearful? Calm? Content?
• What thoughts are you thinking? What are the quiet whispers telling you? Are there any loud voices?

Cultivating Your Connection to Inner Truth

Now that you know what your unique combination of “YES” indicators are, how do you nurture this connection?

Here are a few practices to spark your soul-aligned path:

• Pause and Listen: Whether it’s your gut, heart, or intuition, give yourself space to hear your inner authority. What happens when you slow down and tune in?
• Honor Your Timing: Some of us need space and time to feel into our decisions, while others need to trust the moment. What does your timing teach you about patience or action?
• Release the “Shoulds”: Your inner truth doesn’t care about external expectations. Where might you be holding onto a “should” that dims your spark?
• Celebrate Your Sparks: When you feel that “YES,” celebrate it! Dance, journal, or share it with a friend. How does celebrating your truth amplify your joy?

A Personal Note from Me

As I write this, I’m emerging from a couple years of healing, stepping into my light with this website and my first newsletter. All of my human intelligences signals are saying “FUCK YES”, and guiding me, but I’ve also had to challenge the fear of being too visible. Maybe you’re feeling that too – afraid to shine too brightly after time in the shadows.

I invite you to get curious, as I am doing as well… What would it feel like to let your truth sparkle without apology and guide you forward in the choices you make for your Life, Career & Money?

For me, it’s freedom. For you, it might be something even more beautiful.

Thank you for joining me in this sacred space. I’d love to hear about your “YES” moments or how you’re cultivating your inner truth. Connect with me by sending me an email or WhatsApp / Telegram message, or on social media.(Details in the footer of this page).

Let’s keep sparking together.

With love & sparkles ✨
