Guest: Trusting Your Inner Knowing 

In this illuminating episode of the MINDTRX Podcast, Dr. Paul Scheele welcomes intuitive channel, mentor, and author Stephanie Banks for a deep exploration of what it means to trust your inner knowing. Together, they unpack the gifts of the right hemisphere of the brain — intuition, creativity, inclusivity, and connection — and how allowing it to lead can transform not only your personal life but our broader culture.

Stephanie shares how intuition operates on a subtle, non-fear-based level, and why practices like meditation, HeartMath® heart-brain coherence, and even nanoseconds of inner stillness can make you more receptive to guidance. She explains how we’ve been conditioned to outsource truth to external authorities and how reclaiming your inner authority turns “mistakes” into choices that refine your path.

They also explore the continuum from self-doubt to self-trust, the role of the inner critic as a tool for refinement rather than self-attack, and how joy, ease, and playfulness signal when your spirit is truly leading your life. This conversation is an invitation to let your soul’s purpose — to love more fully — guide your decisions, relationships, and next steps.
