How do you know if your intuition is guiding you?
Have you ever had a gut feeling—one so strong that it almost felt like a pull in a certain direction? Maybe it didn't make logical sense at the time, but deep down, you knew it was something you couldn't ignore.
In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, we sit down with best-selling author Marko Petrovic, who shares his extraordinary journey of trusting intuition, embracing stillness, and surrendering to life's calling. From running a 40-acre farm in Australia to selling everything and moving to Mexico for nine months of complete silence, Marko's story is a powerful testament to what happens when you truly tune in to your soul's path.

5 Signs your intuition is trying to tell you something
Sometimes, intuition doesn't speak in words—it communicates through feelings, patterns, and even physical sensations. But how do you know when it's trying to tell you something important? Here are five clear signs that your intuition is guiding you toward transformation:
- You Keep Getting the Same Nudge or Message: Whether it's a recurring thought, dream, or a word that keeps showing up (like Marko's repeated vision of "Peru"), intuition often speaks in patterns. Pay attention to ideas or gut feelings that won't go away—they might be guiding you toward something important.
- Your Body Reacts Before Your Mind Catches Up: Intuition often speaks through physical sensations—goosebumps, a pit in your stomach, sudden energy shifts, or even discomfort when something is out of alignment. If your body feels tense or uneasy about a decision, it might be a sign to pause and reevaluate.
- A Choice Feels Right Even If It Doesn't Make Logical Sense: Sometimes, intuition defies logic. You might feel drawn toward something with no "rational" explanation—yet deep down, it just feels right.
- You Experience Synchronicities or "Meaningful Coincidences": When you're on the right path, you may notice unexpected signs, repeating numbers, or chance encounters that confirm your direction. These little winks from the universe often show up when you're aligned with your intuition.
- You Feel Instant Relief or Clarity After Making a Decision: Marko's appetite and thirst returned immediately after booking his trip to Peru—a clear sign that he had made the right choice. If a decision brings an instant sense of ease, peace, or lightness, that's your intuition confirming you're on the right track.

Main Takeaways & Golden Nuggets from this episode
Marko's story is paced with powerful insights on trusting your intuition, embracing transformation, and surrendering to life's flow. Here are some of the biggest golden nuggets from our conversation:
- Your body is your intuition's first messenger: When something feels off, your body often knows before your mind does. Pay attention to unexpected signals like fatigue, restlessness, or even loss of appetite.
- Clarity often comes after taking action: Marko didn't fully understand why he was called to Peru, but the moment he booked his flight, everything shifted. Sometimes, action unlocks the answers.
- Silence and stillness help you hear your true path: Nine months of silence revealed insights that Marko had never accessed before. When life feels noisy, stepping back can create space for clarity.
- Transformation comes with both challenge and support: Marko experienced resistance from some people but was also met with unexpected kindness and guidance. If you're facing both, it's a sign of growth.
- You don't have to force your way forward—allow the path to unfold: Surrendering doesn't mean giving up; it means trusting that the right opportunities will align when you follow your intuition.
"I spent my whole life speaking, trying to create my identity through words. But in silence, I finally heard life speaking to me."
For an in-depth exploration of these takeaways and more, be sure to listen to the full episode below.
Tips for applying these takeaways:
- Start a daily "intuition check-in": Take 5 minutes each morning to ask yourself, What is my intuition trying to tell me today? Write down any thoughts or feelings that surface.
- Pay attention to your body's signals: Feeling drained, tense, or restless? Instead of pushing through, pause and ask: What part of my life feels misaligned?
- Take inspired action, even if it doesn't make sense yet: If you keep feeling drawn toward something, take a small step in that direction and see how it unfolds.
- Create moments of stillness: Whether it's through meditation, journaling, or simply sitting quietly with a cup of tea, give yourself space to listen to what your inner voice is saying.
- Embrace both challenges and support as part of your journey: Growth isn't always easy, but if you're experiencing both resistance and encouragement, you're likely on the right path.
