82. Your Body Knows Before Your Brain Does: Learning to Trust Your Gut Again
What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with being indecisive and everything to do with ignoring your intuition?
I see this all the time with high achieving women. You have a decision to make, your gut is saying one thing, and your brain immediately jumps in with logic, fear, and a million reasons to slow down. So you overthink, second guess, and analyze yourself into paralysis.
In this episode of What If It All Goes Right?, I’m breaking down how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, why your body often knows the answer before your mind does, and how to start trusting yourself again after years of overriding your internal signals. We talk about the physical cues your body gives you, why intuition isn’t woo but real somatic intelligence, and practical ways to rebuild self trust through small everyday decisions.
If you’ve been stuck in overthinking or constantly outsourcing your knowing, this episode will help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity.
