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.”
I’m 79 today!! And I just moved to Italy on my own!

That’s so inspiring. Bravo!

I just read this email and yours was the first comment no coincidence I think it’s time to book some tickets 😊 I know it will be such an adventure for you 😊
Susie, that’s incredible! No coincidences, just divine timing at play! Hope you book your tickets soon and have a wonderful time in Italy.
Kudos to you for following your intuition, Karen! Hope you have a miraculous life in Italy and continue to listen and trust your intuition.
Wow! Congratulations 😀🙏❤️
Best wishes to you. I have felt a pull to go to Italy as well. I am a caregiver at this time … Italy is on my list and I know I will go in perfect timing. You inspire me. Congratulations on making the leap.
If you’ve felt the pull, Rosa, it’ll happen, but like you said, it’ll be divine timing. Sending you all the good energy to make this happen for you and to support you in your journey as a caregiver.
Thank you, Karen for sharing this. It inspires me. I just turned 65 and have started a business offering Sound paths and meditations. I have grown a lot on the journey. I’ve been doing this professionally for three years.
It feels nice to hear of others, stepping out and doing things that were not the norm of how they used to do things.
Kudos to you, Lissee, for following the inner guidance that led you in this beautiful direction! I know that you are helping others live more in the Miracle Zone by offering these services. More miracles to you!
Wow, Karen, GREAT!!! where did you move away from? wow!
Waw, I am so impressed!! Congratulations!
Love this!
Hello friend: I enjoyed hearing about intuition. Most of us do not trust it, so that’s where it all begins. Then to have the guts to follow it takes strength.
I can’t seem to think of any particular time specifically when I had it and followed it, but I know I’m undergoing a major change in my life. Thank you for being there.
Thanks for sharing, Yolanda! I hope this Miracle Moment helps with the major changes that you’re going through. Please come back to it or any of our other Miracle Moments when you need guidance. More miracles to you!
That is so fantastic! Where did you move to? I am turning 71 this week and have been thinking about moving there myself, however, I need to borrow some of your bravery!
Glad to see our community inspiring each other. Wishing you a wonderful birthday week, Eliana! Hope you have a smooth move if you take the leap. More miracles to you!
Karen Berarducci Khan: You Rock! go girl Go!
Wow what a wake up call I truly resonate with this.I know now what I must do.
Hi, Elsabe! I am so glad to know that this Miracle Moment found you at the right time and helped you in your miraculous journey. Follow your intuition’s call. More miracles to you!
Comment *det var dejlig at læse, nu ved jeg hvad jeg skal gøre
Glad you found a sense of direction through this Miracle Moment, Kurt! Much love.
Adopted as a baby, last month I met my biological father for the first time. My half-sister and I, both 58, flew across the country to have the opportunity to meet our father just hours before he peacefully passed away with daughters he never knew holding his hands. Now I am writing a book about the experience to help other families surprised by DNA results or separated by adoption have the chance to connect and expand their family with empathy and respect. 💜☮
Wow, Diana! Thank you for sharing your story with us. I bet your book will help many make this connection with their biological families more peaceful. Keep going! Wishing you all the best for the completion and publication of the book, and I hold the intention that this book is a success.
I listened to my intuition by quitting my job and retiring earlier than expected. I felt contracted after being forced to return to in person work after being remote for more than 5 years.
Hi, Yolanda! I’m so glad you took the leap and made a decision that followed your intuition . I hope retirement has been fun and a miraculous experience for you. Much love!
With baby on my back I was walking on a path that led to a fishing spot in the BC wilderness. I wanted to see what was on the other side of a sandbank & headed that way until my intuition said ‘curiosity killed the cat’ so I headed in the opposite direction…It was nothing short of a miracle that I did or I would have come face to face wit a Grizzly bear! Please go to https://www.amazon.com/dp/1961258838 & Facebook/authoryasminchinoy to hear more of my Grizzly bear encounter…
Woah! Yasmin, that must be scary. I am thrilled you listened and followed your intuition and acted quickly! Keep listening to you intuition, as now you know it will not lead you astray. More miracles to you.
Wonderful message, as always:) I did, however, find the constant zoom, unzoom of Marci on the screen very distracting, so I stopped watching and just listened.
Sorry about that, Linda! But I’m glad you could listen in and still experience the Miracle Moment. I hope the three shifts lead you to the Miracle Zone. More miracles to you!
Perfectly timed moment. Thank you Marci 🙏💗
YES PERFECTLY TIMED MOMENT
So glad this Miracle Moment was well-timed for you, William! Much love.
Hi Jenny,
I am so happy this Miracle Moment was divinely timed for you! Please come back to it whenever you need the gentle nudge to follow the quiet call of your intuition. More miracles to you!
I sold everything I owned in 2021 and went out to see the world! Four years later, I’ve been more places than I can count. I’m a solo woman traveler (with my dog) who is hopping between countries, customs, and time zones. Is it scary? Yes. But, the last time I was in turbulence on a plane, I said to myself, “Even if I die now, I will have truly lived.”
Wow! You’re living in THE Miracle Zone, MP! Kudos to you on taking on this incredible adventure around the world. Your story is inspiring and I bet will encourage others to face their fears and take on new adventures. Thank you for sharing. More miracles to you and your dog as you continue your travels!
At one time in about 2005 I was living in Iowa and had settled in senior/disability community. I loved the new building and friends but I felt God calling me to return to NJ as my mother was struggling with health concerns and a brother struggling with alcoholism. I returned to NJ and was able to help my mother during the last years of her life to take her shopping at the Amish market and drive for her when she could no longer drive and to find caregivers to help her full time in her home. I was able to help my brother to get into detox and rehab and he lived at my home for his first year of sobriety and he attended AA each day. After many years of sobriety in my life as well as years attending Alanon I had been sad not to see the same blessings in my family members. Following this intuition of how God wished to use me to help my family was dearly meaningful in my life something I will always be grateful that God gave me the opportunity to fulfill
Listening to my intuition has guided me my entire life. And I ask for help from my guides all the time. Thank you for this timely message.
That’s wonderful, Jacquie! Keep listening to your higher self and answer those calls through aligned actions. Keep it up. Much love!
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your touching story with us, Emily! That goes to show how impactful a simple act of listening to your intuition can be in your life as well as others. That’s beautiful, and you should be proud of yourself for following your intuition with aligned actions.
I decided to quit a toxic work place in 2023. And currently the place closed off completely and none of those individuals is still working in that same place. When I was about to leave I had a funny encounter and I asked God when will this end?. That very day I was called for a new job in the Capital City and it was near my home.
Divine timing, indeed, Olive! I’m so glad to hear that you followed your intuition and got out of a situation not favorable to your miraculous journey. I wish for you this new job brings in all the growth and enrichment you desire.
Marci, I loved your example of the “Expansion or Contraction Test.” I use it all the time and it has never failed me. It’s especially good for women who are used to putting others first because the expansion feeling tells you what you really want, need, etc. I had a big career opportunity while working like an Alaskan sled dog at 77. I knew I couldn’t keep up the pace so I listened to my gut. A friend of mine , a few years younger accepted it and was very successful to awhile but the pace to big a toll on her health and she lost everything. BTW, I’m still getting rewards from “The Month of Money Course.” A beautiful sleep sofa fell into my lap!! Thanks for the wonderful work you do!
Wow, Virginia! Thanks for sharing that story with us. I’m sorry to hear about your friend and I hope she finds a solution soon.
I’m so glad to know that the Month of Money Miracles has helped you so brilliantly. I hope you get a chance to join our Your Year of Miracles family through our Mid-Year Miracles Reset: https://youryearofmiracles.com/mp/2025-yom/
