"I adopted 2 kids as a single parent because I listened to my intuition"
Henrietta followed a powerful intuition during her divorce that told her she needed to become a mother. Trusting her inner guidance, she adopted two children as a single parent—a decision she credits to the intuitive skills she developed with Sonia.
I've been studying with Sonia since I was in my 30s.
The biggest intuition that I ever had was when I was close to 40.
I was in the middle of a divorce and I had such a powerful intuition. It was as if my heart jumped out of my body and looked at me and said: you have to become a mother. If you're not, you're going to die spiritually. And it wasn't anything scary or mean - that wasn't the tone, but it was that serious.
And so what I decided to do was adopt a child as a single parent. So this was obviously a huge commitment. Just to become a mother is a big deal, but to do it as a single person, plus to adopt a child, however, it all felt right. And I trusted my intuition.
I wouldn't have done it without Sonia. And I can just say that if in your life you have all these desires, and yet somehow you're not getting them - following your intuition is the only way you will get them. Because your intuition will lead you through that path and open things up.
I think the course that you teach through Mindvalley with Sonia is a very valuable course. It's fun. It's a little bit of learning every day. Just get that 50 minutes every day to just remind yourself of how to be intuitive.
