I joined IVFT in the fall of 2020 and became a full-time intuition coach at the beginning of 2021. I had no idea how life-changing Inner Voice Facilitator Training with Bella Lively would be!

This episode is the second part of my 2-episode series on the inner voice. If you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, I shared what your inner voice is, how to access it, and how to know if you can trust it. I also answer a few questions from our community on the topic.

Today I’m sharing thoughts and reflections on my recent inner voice session. I’m including audio clips so you can listen for a peek inside my innermost thoughts and what my inner voice has to say. This is my most revealing episode to date!

What is an Inner Voice Facilitator?

Bella Lively (formerly Jess Lively) is the creator of Inner Voice Facilitator Training, which is a certification program for coaches and anyone who want to learn how to go beyond their minds, receive personalized inner guidance, experience unwavering peace, and release what Bella calls “emotional bean bags” from the mental/emotional body.

Nicole Perkins is the coach who facilitated the session I’m sharing in today’s episode. She completed the “beta round” of IVFT in 2020 and I started following her on Instagram shortly after.

How Do You Trust Your Inner Voice?

One of the things I love about inner voice work is that it truly comes from within. There is absolutely a place for finding outside inspiration, but also… this is your life. Your soul. Your journey. It’s very empowering to know so much support and wisdom can come from within. If it feels good, calm, and trustworthy, that is a big clue as to whether or not you can trust it.

Preparing for My Inner Voice Session

Before the session, Nicole asked me for 3 questions or areas that I wanted to focus on. I sent over 3 ideas along with a curious, “I’m wondering if you have any favorite questions or ones that you wish someone would ask? I’m open.”

The session was audio-only, which was really nice. I got comfortable and cozy in my closet before calling in. Nicole gave me a quick introduction and dove right into her questions. This allowed me to really focus on not being “Kaileen” and instead allow my inner voice to shine through.

Inner Wisdom on Which Path to Take and Failure

The first clip I share is from the beginning of our session. You can hear how encouraging and supportive Nicole is… but also she asks really great questions!

Listen to the episode for a story about when I spoke with a psychic medium last year and this inner voice session brought that experience into a whole new light.

My inner voice shared that multiple paths (and choices) can lead in the same direction, which takes so much pressure off! I also really appreciate knowing that failure is a rebirth… and that growing and beginning are constant. Of course, I know these things intellectually, but I feel these truths in a new soul-way after this session.

Intuitive Insights on Effort vs. Flow

In the second clip, Nicole asks my inner voice about effort vs. flow, which I know is a topic so many of us are curious about!

I love how my inner voice suggests that I take things off my to-do list when my natural “mind” inclination is to add things that I’ve already done. Can you relate? By not focusing so much on things that happen cyclically and trusting they will get done, I’ve freed up space in my calendar and in my mind.

My Inner Voice on Motherhood and Career

Up next, Nicole asks about my experience as a working mom. She also asks about the true essence of what we are… which is a pretty stunning question.

This is one of the things I love about this work. The boldness to ask such questions and actually get a response. If we were just talking I doubt I’d have responded with any real confidence or knowing.

Some background on me and motherhood: my lifelong dream was to be a stay at home mom. But at the beginning of 2019 (with two tiny babes at home), I had a deep realization that I wanted to work, create, and exist in my identity beyond motherhood.

Nicole’s questions and my inner voice’s responses released a lot of tension and confusion I had around this topic. The visual I was seeing was a braid and my inner voice talked about how motherhood and career are braided together for me. If you’ve heard Bella Lively (Jess Lively) talk about “emotional beanbag” releases, this seemed like one to me.

One of my favorite takeaways is on ignoring more. I used to think ignoring things was a sign of weakness, but seeing all the cracks, mistakes, and things to do isn’t helping me at all. In a way, ignoring is a beautiful form of allowing. Incorporating this idea into everyday life has been very freeing!

Wrapping Up my Inner Voice Session with Ease + Flow

The last clip I share is when Nicole and I chatting after the inner voice part of the session. When you listen, you’ll be able to tell the difference in my voice and vibe immediately. Nicole’s parting words on trusting the simplicity of the inner voice’s wisdom really resonates.

Thanks to Evolving Jen for these words,

Kaileen inspires the listener to explore what is possible when you slow down, focus on the good and be open for the magic to appear. As a mom, I can relate to how she creates time for family, self-care and magic; and how those three can intersect and coexist. I’m looking forward to the next episode!
