From Intuition to Inner Authority: Awakening Intuitive Intelligence with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams
Wed Feb 04 2026
In this powerful and illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams, founder of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence, to explore a radically different way of understanding intuition. Ricci-Jane challenges the belief that intuition is a rare gift and instead invites us to see it as an innate human capacity—one that can be refined into what she calls intuitive intelligence. We talk about inner authority, self-trust, and our connection to the unified field of consciousness, as well as the vital role of the nervous system and her four S’s: stillness, silence, solitude, and slowness.
Throughout our conversation, we dive into the relationship between fear, the subconscious, and spiritual growth, and why fear is not something to eliminate but a messenger guiding us back to truth. Ricci-Jane shares profound insights on spiritual self-esteem, embodiment, and why developing intuitive intelligence is inseparable from healing and personal responsibility. If you’ve ever struggled to trust your inner knowing or found yourself looking outside yourself for answers, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate invitation to come home to your own wisdom.
