Daily Inspiration Quote by Kiana Tom

There is something audacious about the absolutism here: not just “I listen to my gut,” but “it’s always right.” Coming from Kiana Tom, a model who built a career in a highly curated, high-signal world, the line reads less like philosophy and more like survival strategy. In industries where you’re evaluated in seconds, intuition becomes a kind of internal shortcut: a way to move through rooms full of micro-cues, power dynamics, and unspoken expectations without stopping to litigate every feeling.

The intent is self-authorization. “Trust my gut” is self-help boilerplate; “always right” is a stake in the ground, a refusal to outsource judgment to agents, producers, casting directors, or the endless chorus of “friendly” advice that surrounds women whose bodies are also their brands. It’s a posture of control in a field built to make you doubt your own perceptions.

The subtext is protective, even combative: if you’ve been punished for second-guessing yourself, certainty starts to look like freedom. It also signals a particular kind of confidence that pop culture rewards in beauty labor: decisiveness as attractiveness, clarity as charisma. Of course, “always” is the tell. Nobody’s instincts are infallible; insisting they are suggests how often intuition gets challenged, dismissed, or reframed as “overreacting.” The quote works because it turns a vulnerable skill - reading the room - into a blunt instrument: a personal myth of correctness that keeps you moving, and keeps other people from rewriting your reality.
