Episode #82: Intuition vs. Fear: How to Hear the Truth in Your Body

What Is Intuition Really?
Have you ever stood at a crossroads and wondered — is this my intuition guiding me, or is it fear disguised as logic?
In a world that praises rational thinking and practicality, it’s easy to overlook the quieter, body-based wisdom we carry. But tuning into your intuition can be one of the most life-affirming practices you develop.
Intuition often arrives as a calm knowing, a grounded sense that something is right or wrong. It’s not urgent or dramatic. It feels like truth, like alignment.
Fear, on the other hand, tends to scream. It brings urgency, pressure, and a swirl of what-ifs. It wants a quick fix, and it often partners with logic to rationalize decisions that don’t feel quite right.
Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll learn and some ways to tell if it's intuition or fear...
-
Is my body calm or clenched?
-
Does this decision feel expansive or contracting?
-
Am I trying to convince myself?
-
Is this a whisper of truth… or a scramble of logic and urgency?
Building Self-Trust Through Decision-Making
We don’t need to get every decision right. We just need to build the habit of checking in with ourselves, of honoring the whisper before the noise.
When you ignore your intuition, regret often follows — not just for the outcome, but for the moment you abandoned yourself. But even then, it’s not a failure. It’s an invitation to come back. To listen deeper. To trust more next time.
Final Takeaway
You don’t need to be perfect to build self-trust. You just need to keep returning to yourself; listening, adjusting, and honoring your own knowing.
Let each decision be a chance to ask: What would it look like to trust myself here?
