Dedication

I have to give a shout-out to my entire family, yet again!

Tom and his morning tea support,

and Molly and Samantha for being my greatest-ever creations.

Tammy and Adam, my forever supporters.

And, a shout-out to all the hustlers and badasses who are trying everything they can

to not just survive,

but to rise up

and take back their innate power of intuition

this ones for you!

Acknowledgments

Writing a book is such an interesting thingjust when you think you know exactly how its going to go, you discover how incredibly wrong you are. Originally, I started out planning on not using any stories. That did not go as I thought it wouldat all! I wanted to write a book that combined business life and personal life, that showed how intuition has no boundaries, and showed how we can better ourselves when we open up to our vast gifts in every area of our lives.

So, I definitely need to give a huge thanks to everyone who contributed stories of their own personal and business intuitive jewels of wisdom. The stories they shared were sometimes never heard before, and theyve entrusted me to write them with the responsibility of reading them with an open mind and kindness. And a special thanks to the goddesses of Goddess Weekend who lifted me up with ideas and praise and encouraged me to write this book!

Thank you to all the people who supported my crazy writing schedule, my family and friends, and those who sent 2 a.m. texts to make sure I was okay, and the incredible editors at Llewellynshout-out to Angela Wix!

Also, a big thanks to all who, like me, want answers and keep searching for how it all works. I cant thank the seekers without thanking all those who give us answers. Thanks for all youre doing to continue paving the way with your books, your readings, your workshops, and, yes, your television shows.

It is the people who believe in intuition, and even who challenge us, who help propel us forward, so thank you!
