In this episode of Don’t Cut Your Own Bangs, I sit down with intuitive healer and psychic channeler Angie Arkin for a conversation that is as grounding as it is uplifting. Angie has been a guide and teacher in my life for years, and in our talk, she shares wisdom about what it really means to trust yourself—and why our intuition is the key to finding yourself again.

Why Self-Trust Matters

So many of us are taught to look outside ourselves for answers—through checklists, advice, and other people’s expectations. But Angie reminds us, your intuition is like a muscle. The more you practice listening, the stronger it becomes. Learning how to trust yourself isn’t about knowing all the answers—it’s about recognizing that peaceful, grounded voice inside you that never criticizes or shames.

“The truth always feels peaceful in the body. If it feels heavy or critical, that’s not the truth.” — Angie Arkin

Healing Beyond Judgment

One of the most powerful parts of our conversation was Angie’s reminder that healing begins when we move beyond judgment. Instead of labeling feelings as good or bad, we can approach them with curiosity. Your emotions are energy in motion—they’re here to teach you something, not to punish you. When you allow space for that truth, you begin to find yourself again.

Intuition Is a Muscle

Intuition isn’t about predicting the future—it’s about learning to tune into what your body and heart already know. Angie describes intuition as a felt sense: the peace or clarity you notice when something is right for you. It can show up in the simplest decisions (like which deodorant to buy!) or in life’s biggest moments.

The more you honor those nudges, the more you strengthen your confidence in yourself.

Key takeaways

  • How to trust yourself begins with noticing your inner voice. Peaceful, supportive feelings are your compass.
  • Intuition is a muscle. Practice listening to it every day, even in small ways.
  • Healing starts with curiosity, not judgment. When you release criticism, you open the door to growth.
  • You can always find yourself again. No matter how lost you feel, self-trust brings you home.

If you’ve been longing to reconnect with your intuition, or if you simply need the reminder that you don’t have to earn your peace—you already have it—this episode is for you.
