Today’s Miracle Moment Is About The Intuition Secret That Led Alysa Liu to Gold…
Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads—pulled between what the world expects of you and a quieter, more mysterious voice calling you toward something different?
That quiet voice is your intuition. And listening to it can feel like a radical act. But that act of listening… it just might lead you to a miracle.
Let me tell you the story of someone who did just that.
The Olympian Who Walked Away
Alysa Liu was a skating prodigy. At just 13, she became the youngest U.S. Women’s National Champion in figure skating history. By 16, she’d competed in the Olympics and World Championships. Everyone assumed she was on the fast track to becoming one of the sport’s biggest stars.
And then… she retired. At 16.
No injury. No dramatic fallout. Just a deep, quiet knowing that it was time to step away. While the world scratched its head in confusion, Alysa trusted the whisper that said: Not right now.
She chose to live a little more off the ice—experience life, feel joy, explore beyond the arena that had defined her for so long. And then, something remarkable happened…
Two years later, while skiing for the first time in her life, Alysa felt a sudden, powerful inner nudge: Maybe it’s time to skate again. So, she did. Just for fun.
That fun turned into training. The training turned into competing. And within a year, Alysa had won the gold medal at the World Figure Skating Championships at age 19.
Talk about full-circle!
3 Shifts That Will Help You Trust Your Intuition Too
Whether you’re 16 or 60, there are powerful lessons in Alysa’s story. Here are three shifts to help you start trusting your inner voice—and allowing it to lead you to your own miracles:
1. Intuition Feels Like Expansion (Even If It’s Hard)
Your intuition isn’t loud. It won’t shout over your to-do list or the opinions of others. But when you pause and listen, it often speaks through feeling.
The key question is: Does this choice feel expansive or contractive?
Even if your intuition is guiding you to make a tough decision—like stepping away from something familiar—it will usually come with a sense of inner expansion, relief, or calm clarity.
Your soul speaks through expansion. Your ego speaks through fear. Can you tell which one is leading?
2. Your Intuition May Go Against the Grain
Sometimes your inner guidance leads you in a direction that doesn’t make sense to anyone else. People might question you, or worry about you, or even doubt your judgment.
But if you know, deep in your being, that it’s right for you… trust that knowing.
I remember a time in my own life when I said no to a major contract in Asia that looked incredible on paper. Everyone around me thought I was making a huge mistake.
But something in me said, Not this.
Soon after, the idea for Your Year of Miracles came through—and I knew I’d made the right choice.
3. Following Your Intuition Leads to Miracles
When Alysa returned to skating, it wasn’t because she wanted to prove anything. She didn’t need to make a statement. She came back because something in her felt ready.
That readiness, that joy, that alignment—it led her to gold. And it all started with a whisper on a ski slope.
We don’t always know where our intuition will take us. But if we follow it, one step at a time, we often find ourselves right where we were meant to be… sometimes with miracles in hand.
A Gentle Nudge for You
Is there something your intuition has been quietly telling you?
Maybe it’s time to pause. To rest. To begin again. Or to say yes to something that feels wild but right.
Whatever it is, I invite you to listen. To trust. To follow—even just a little.
Because your joy, your timing, and your path are not meant to look like anyone else’s.
As the poet Rumi said,
“There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”
