You Were Intuitive
Guest: Vanessa Codorniu
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Vanessa Codorniu, a bilingual Latina trailblazer in spirituality, wellness, and the arts. A fourth-generation psychic medium and clinical hypnotist with more than 25 years of experience, Vanessa opens up about her journey of rediscovering and trusting her intuition.
We talk about childhood moments that revealed her gifts, the life-changing accident that pushed her fully into her calling, and what it means to live guided by faith over fear. Together, we explore ancestral wisdom, the healing of generational wounds, and the importance of reclaiming intuitive practices, especially within Latinx and BIPOC communities.
This conversation is a reminder that intuition is not something rare or unreachable, it’s “knowing without knowing how we know.” Vanessa’s stories will inspire you to trust your inner compass, honor your roots, and find joy in simply existing and feeling safe.
Key takeaways:
Intuition is innate: we all have access to it.
Fear often silences our inner knowing, but faith invites transformation.
Community and collective healing are essential, especially for marginalized voices.
Ancestral practices are sacred tools for resilience, guidance, and liberation.
