How to Cultivate Inspired Action and Seek Inspiration When It Feels Lost

As an intuitive empowerment and integration coach, I’m a big advocate of inspired action. You know that feeling when an intuitive insight hits you out of nowhere, and even though you can’t fully explain it, you feel compelled to do that thing? That’s aligned, inspired action—it’s available to us all the time. Yet, I’ve found that many of us block it due to distractions, getting caught up in others’ business, or living in the past or future in our minds.

When we create space to sit with ourselves, feel what’s truly happening within right in that present moment, and invite insight to rise, the whispers of intuition become louder. A lot of people ignore those whispers because they seem insignificant or too simple to be "the thing," but I’ve noticed, both for myself and my clients, that when we follow those small nudges, they compound into magical experiences, bringing more alignment, clarity, and confidence within. These are moments that your mind couldn’t have planned for, but they were exactly what was needed.

For example, I had no initial intention of creating a 3-month program. But one day, I heard a whisper about a process right before I fell asleep—curiosity, commitment, consistency into cultivation. It was clear. This wasn’t just any process; this was my process, the one I personally go through to make shifts and cultivate a life that feels authentic and nurturing. I didn’t know how to create a program, but step by step, whisper by whisper, I followed the guidance. Over a few months of consistent, intuitive, inspired action, the program was built. And now, it’s the Igniting Intuition program, which has transformed both my life and the lives of my clients.

If I had tried to jump from the whisper to creating a fully formed program in a day, I would have never started. But by focusing on the next inspired action, however small, the process became magical and led me to places that feel deeply aligned and nourishing still to this day. That’s the beauty of inspired action—it often doesn’t make sense at first, but over time, it reveals something bigger than you could have ever imagined.

Something else I’ve noticed is that inspiration doesn’t always just show up. Sometimes, you need to seek it, facilitate it, especially when you find yourself in a rut or feeling unmotivated. It’s impossible to be “on” and inspired 24/7. Last summer, I went through a particularly tough time. My rituals and practices were lifelines. One day, I took my daughter for a walk, with the sole intention of looking for inspiration—to be open to it because I hadn’t been feeling it. That walk changed something in me. My perspective shifted, my lenses cleared, and I reconnected with my intuition. From that day, I started receiving the next inspired actions.

So, sometimes we can’t wait for inspiration to just strike. We can invite it, seek it, and allow it to return to us, which is an example of a simple but potent inspired action!

The choice is always between you and you.

If you ever find yourself feeling uninspired, remember that inspiration isn’t something we must passively wait for. We can actively seek it. By creating space for it—through a walk, through stillness, or by letting go of distractions—you’ll find that the whispers of intuition become louder, guiding you toward aligned action knowing where you are and where you desire to be. But to grow your connection with it, acting on those inspired actions is key, as it builds trust and confidence within yourself. When you begin to see and feel the outcomes of following these nudges, you start to override the mind’s instinct to retreat to the safety of the familiar.

Inspired action doesn’t have to be big or grand. The key is to take that first small step, to trust the nudge. When you consistently act on what feels aligned, no matter how insignificant it may seem, those small steps will lead you to something greater than you could have thought of. The magic lies in trusting the process. When you feel stuck, ask yourself: Are you ready to seek out the inspiration that's waiting for you?
