Trust your intuition to follow your dreams
I learned just how powerful my intuition is when I packed up my life, left a six year real estate career, cashed my last commission check, and moved from a Denver townhouse to the Larkspur ranch.
Well-intentioned friends, family and colleagues advised me to keep my real estate license “just in case” and “as a backup”.
But my intuition spoke to me saying something entirely different. It told me to cut off the golden handcuffs and go for it. After three and a half years of working in real estate and building Unbridled Retreats simultaneously, it was time to make the leap into living my dream full-time.
So I jumped! I was bound and determined to never have the phrases “Outstanding curb appeal” and “Light and bright kitchen” come out of my mouth again. Instead I wanted to follow my intuition which said my purpose was to work with women and horses, my true calling.
After years of trying to be who I thought I should be, I began living my life in alignment with who I really am…a woman who is much happier helping people find their personal worth vs. the worth of their home.
Being true to yourself is about going for what you want, not what you think you “should” want based on the expectations of your friends, your spouse, your kids, your relatives, or your colleagues.
Following your dreams requires taking risks, accepting uncertainty, relying on your courage, and learning to trust your intuition. Taking the path of your dreams is the road less traveled. If you’ve read this far I know you’ve got a calling that will lead to your dream, even if you’re not living it yet.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND TRUST YOUR INTUITION. It will guide you, one step (or leap), at a time.
Your dream may not happen overnight but it will happen over time. Never give up, trust your intuition, believe in yourself, get support, take risks, find mentors, and give it everything you’ve got.
Do you listen to your intuition? I’d love to hear from you. Share in the comments below.
The Realtor turned ranchwoman,

Hello Devon,
Your story is such an inspiration and I do believe that if you follow your heart you will also find peace and happiness.
I found out the hard way just a few years ago when I made the ill fated decision to sell our home of 20 years.
I created a sanctuary for myself my family and horses dogs cats any one or anything that needed a safe space to call home. I won’t bore you with the details, movies are made of these type of real life stories.
Now I find myself without purpose and empty inside not having the connection to my heart horse.
It’s going on 6 years since leaving my homestead and the pain only grows worse knowing I can’t go back to the life that I loved.
I commend you for knowing yourself well enough to trust in your instincts.
That’s another thing horses teach us.
Hopefully I will get a chance to come to your amazing retreat and connect with others and your horses to help with my new journey even at this late stage of my life.
Thank you for your journey and your willingness to help others.
Peace and blessings
