In this episode, you’ll not only learn how to clearly discern between instinct and intuition, but why your “gut feelings” are often a trauma response, and the role of self-trust, presence, and rewired emotional patterns in making clear, intuitive decisions.If you’ve ever second-guessed a decision, chased a “bad vibe,” or thought intuition was guiding you only to end up in a familiar spiral, this episode is your roadmap out.
