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

In this episode of Trusting Dorothy, we explore the subtle but powerful difference between intuition and fear — and how to know which voice is guiding you. If you've ever made a decision and later wondered, "Was that my intuition or just fear in disguise?" this episode is for you.

Dorothy shares personal stories, including a big family purchase, a small yes to an invisible offer, and a parenting decision, to illustrate what it feels like to trust your gut, when we override that knowing, and how to repair self-trust after regret.

You’ll walk away with clear signs of how intuition speaks, how fear disguises itself as logic, and how to slow down and tune in when decisions feel overwhelming.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The key energetic differences between intuition and fear

• How to recognize when you’re overriding your gut in favor of logic or people-pleasing

• Why regret often stems from self-abandonment, not just the outcome

• How to recover when you’ve made a decision that doesn’t feel right in hindsight

• Gentle prompts to build self-trust again and again
