Writing healed me & brought me back to life.
Writing was my constant friend through ten years of heartbreak and estrangement, and that’s why I teach it to other sensitive souls like you.
✨ Writing helped me scoop up all the lost and broken parts of my younger self so I could remember who I really was.
✨ Writing helped soothe my anxious mind and break through my depression.
✨ Writing helped me find my voice and grow in confidence.
Hello! Welcome to The Intuitive Writer!
I’m Lisa Parkes and I’ve come to Substack to meet like-minded souls who enjoy deep and meaningful conversation about life, love and the magic of the universe. I created the The Intuitive Writer as a quiet, cosy corner where I can escape from other shouty, algorithm-driven spaces on the internet, and write freely from my intuition, sharing whatever wants to come through. You’re so welcome here.
Who is The Intuitive Writer for?
I write for curious wild-hearted souls & spiritual detectives who are navigating this crazy life with a sensitive heart (sometimes without a loving family). The Intuitive Writer is for you if you’re fascinated about other realms, all we cannot see and would like to learn how to connect to your higher self. You might also:
want to unlock your Wildheart gifts. Highly sensitive souls are incredibly creative and intuitive. You’re open to learning about the transformational power of journaling. You may have even been to one of my journaling classes. You value the healing properties of creativity and recognise that it’s a channel for self-expression
be fascinated by, or are already a student of the metaphysical teachings of tarot, astrology, numerology, chakras, energy, and dreams.
experienced a spiritual awakening and felt closer to spirit. You believe that even though we are having a human experience, we are spirits in meat suits, and that can be tricky sometimes.
be a deep think and often ponder on why we are here, why people do the things they do and what would make the world a better place.

A Bit More About Me …
STAR SIGN: Aquarius (Sun), Scorpio (Moon), Aries (Rising)
HUMAN DESIGN: 1/3 Emotional Generator
MBTI – MYERS BRIGGS: INFJ
I’m a bookworm, lifelong learner and self development junkie. I‘m a murder mystery geek and dream of living in a country cottage where I write books and channel my inner Jessica Fletcher. I’m currently writing my first cosy murder mystery, Murder Most Mystic which is due out later this year.
I love the rain, especially on a Sunday when I can snuggle up with a cuppa, my hot water bottle and laugh at re-runs of Friends (Phoebe is my fav!). I also love the Hallmark Channel at Christmas.
I like to write to classical music with a strong cup of tea. When I’m not writing I work in a local gift shop, look after other people’s fur babies and emotionally support students at my local college.
Are we a fit? We likely share some views on important things:
You’re moved by the works of Louise Hay, Glennon Doyle, Brene Brown, Gabor Mate, Beth Kempton, Julia Cameron, Pete Walker, M Scott Peck, Susan Jeffers, Byron Katie, Gary Chapman, Dr Wayne Dyer, Nick Ortner, Kris Carr, Terri Cole, Davina McCall, Dr Ramani Durvasula, Patrick Teahan, Dr. Ingrid Clayton, Harriet Braiker, Oliver James, John Bradshaw, The Gottman Institute, Dana Morningstar, Leonie Dawson, Elisabeth Corey, John Bowlby, Dr Laura Markham, Brad Yates, Elizabeth Gilbert, Miranda Hart, Judith Orloff, Elaine Aron.
You have a burning desire to be an author. You’re happiest with a pen in your hand. Maybe like me your love language is words, and when you were a kid growing up you stayed up reading Enid Blyton under the duvet until your eyes stung, or you raced home from school to watch Murder She Wrote.
You’re fascinated by all that we cannot see. You believe in the magic of the Universe. You don’t always trust it, but you want to….you really want to and you keep coming back to that because you want to live your life in full colour.Â
You’re possibly obsessed (like me), or at the very least, slightly curious about the tarot and other realms. You may have experienced a spiritual awakening and felt closer to spirit. You believe that even though we are having a human experience, we are spirits in meat suits, and that can be tricky sometimes.
You know that nurturing a relationship with yourself is the way to be free and happy in this life. You understand that what happened to you growing up shapes who you are today, but it doesn’t have to define you….and you won’t let it – no way!
You still believe that life is beautiful, but the system is f*cked up. You want to change the world for the next generation. After COVID, maybe you’ve turned off mainstream media and like big Pharma even less.Â
You know that deep in your heart the sausage machine that we call an education system is ruining our children, and by the time they reach secondary all the joy and creativity is sucked out of learning. You wish there was another way to nurture their gorgeous souls and teach them what really matters. There is! I created Truly Madly Smiley for all the parents who feel equally as passionate. It focuses on the 5 pillars of emotional intelligence. After all, isn’t life about love and relationships…. not trigonometry!
You want to unlock your Wildheart gifts. Highly sensitive souls are incredibly creative and intuitive. You’re open to learning about the transformational power of journaling.

You’re willing to go the extra mile to create the life you want and make your dreams come true – you’re here for it and take 100% responsibility.
You’re curious about, or are already a student of the metaphysical teachings of astrology, numerology, chakras, energy, dreams. You’re a deep think and often ponder on why we are here, why people do the things they do and what would make the world a better place.
