What If Your Intuition Is Your Superpower? — Beth Barani
What if intuition isn’t something only a few “gifted” people have—but a natural ability we all possess?
In this fascinating conversation, Erica Glessing talks with writer, creative coach, and producer Beth Barani about learning to trust the quiet signals coming from the body and recognizing the difference between intuition and the endless “shoulds” we impose on ourselves.
The synchronicities go on forever! Beth and Erica discovered a kinship for Berkeley (Beth is a UC Berkeley Grad, Erica lived there in elementary school)... Erica's mom was a KQED TV producer, Beth's grandfather was a KQED cameraman. Both have ties to Marin County... both write books... both have wild imaginations... Beth achieves beyond the possible and asks a lot of questions. Enjoy this moment etched in time via the podcast medium.
The focus narrowed in from the dozens of possible topics to how to grow your intuition.Beth shares simple ways to strengthen your intuitive awareness—from noticing which direction your body wants to go, to paying attention to what feels right, and even using everyday experiences like food as a practice ground for listening inward.
They also explore intuition, creativity, storytelling, and the rules that can shut down our natural knowing. Beth shares her insights from more than 20 years of helping writers—and the story behind her beloved Henrietta the Dragon Slayer series.
If you’ve ever had a gut feeling, an unexpected knowing, or a moment when something simply clicked, this conversation may inspire you to stop second-guessing yourself and start listening.
We all have intuition. We can all get better at it.
