When You Already Know the Answer… Why Do We Still Doubt Ourselves? with Dina Berrin, intuitive guide, certified life coach, and author
Watch & Subscribe on YouTube @marladiann
You know that quiet inner knowing that nudges you toward something? Only to talk yourself out of it or second-guess yourself?
(That’s your beautiful brain trying to protect you—even when your intuition already knows the way.)
In this thoughtful episode of Follow Your Joy, I’m joined by intuitive guide, author, and certified coach Dina Berrin for a conversation about one of my favorite subjects—intuition.
Not as something mysterious or reserved for a select few. But as a natural part of being human that we’ve simply forgotten how to trust.
Dina believes we don’t lack intuition—we’ve just gotten out of the habit of listening to it. And when we begin paying attention to that quiet inner knowing, even in small ways, life begins to shift.
Inside this conversation, we explore:
• Why so many people second-guess themselves despite knowing what feels right
• How intuition quietly guides our everyday decisions—in business, relationships, and life
• The surprising connection between self-honesty and lasting change
• Dina’s personal journey from a demanding corporate career to intuitive coaching
• Why COVID became the unexpected pause that changed everything for her
• How tools like tarot, numerology, and astrology can become mirrors for self-discovery rather than sources of answers
• Practical ways to begin trusting your own inner wisdom with greater confidence
One of my favorite insights from Dina is this: The work isn’t learning how to access your intuition. The work is learning to stop talking yourself out of what you already know.
That simple shift has the power to change everything.
Dina is generously sharing her free guide, The Tarot Coach Approach, introducing a thoughtful way to use tarot as a reflective tool for gaining clarity and strengthening your intuition.

If you’ve been standing at a crossroads, overthinking a decision, or sensing that life is asking something new of you, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that the wisdom you’re searching for may already be within you.
Sometimes the greatest act of courage isn’t finding the answer.
It’s trusting the one you already have.
