How My Intuition Led To A Miraculous Discovery

A few weeks ago, I had an experience that profoundly reminded me of the power of intuition. It started as an ordinary evening at home with my baby, Leo, but quickly turned into a lesson I’ll never forget.

A Quiet Nudge

It was the end of a long day. I had just put Leo to bed and was excited to relax and enjoy some leftover burgers and fries. I popped them in the oven, and as they cooked, I noticed something odd: a bright orange glow near the oven’s heating element.

At first, my mind brushed it off. Heat is orange; this must be normal. But something about it didn’t sit right. There was this tiny, insistent feeling in my gut telling me something was off.

Following the Thread Of Intuitive Nudges

Despite my mind’s justification that everything was probably fine, I decided to investigate. I Googled it first, and what I found suggested the possibility of carbon monoxide. My first thought: Oh no, I have a baby, and we’re home alone.

I called the oven manufacturer to confirm, and they echoed what Google said—it could be carbon monoxide. That was it. I grabbed Leo, who was sound asleep in his crib, and rushed into the backyard barefoot in the dark.

There I was, holding a crying baby, starving, with nothing but my phone. I called my dad for advice, and he reassured me: “You’re probably fine, but if it makes you feel better, wait outside a bit longer.”

The Nudge Persists

Even with my dad’s reassurance and confirmation from our home renovators that our house had carbon monoxide detectors, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right. So, I followed the next nudge: I called the gas company.

They said they’d send someone in 90 minutes. Now I was outside in the cold, waiting with a crying baby. Eventually, I reached out to a neighbor for help. He came over with a carbon monoxide detector, checked the house, and it read zero.

That should have been enough to put the situation to rest (according to my mind), but my intuition still whispered: There’s more to this.

The Unexpected Discovery

When the gas technician arrived, he checked the oven and said it was working perfectly—no issues, no leaks. At this point, I started doubting myself. Was I just being paranoid?

The technician did one last check in our laundry room. There, he noticed a mysterious pipe and asked if I knew where it led. I didn’t. He brushed it off, saying everything seemed fine.

But then, as I was unwinding in the bath later that night, there was a loud knock at the door. It was the technician, back to double-check. This time, he traced the pipe to our garage—and found a gas leak.

It wasn’t connected to the oven at all, but my intuition had guided me to uncover it.

Trusting the Magic

This experience was a powerful reminder of the magic that happens when we trust those inner nudges. My logical mind tried to convince me to ignore them at every turn, but my intuition persisted, leading me to take action that may have saved us from something far worse.

I often wonder: what made the technician come back? Was it his intuition nudging him, too? Was it some cosmic orchestration of alignment? Whatever it was, I’m endlessly grateful for the series of events and trust in my intuition that led to that discovery.

A Reminder for You

Intuition doesn’t always make sense in the moment. It might come as a soft whisper, a feeling, or a nudge to take action that defies logic. But when we trust it, even without knowing why, it can lead to outcomes far beyond what our minds could plan.

If you’ve been feeling those nudges or inner knowings lately, this is your sign to trust them. They’re there for a reason.

And if you want to strengthen your connection to your intuition, I’d love to guide you through an Inner Voice Session. It’s a powerful way to clear emotional blocks and tune into your inner wisdom. You can book one here.
