Every entrepreneur reaches that moment — when your gut says one thing but your mind screams another.
So how do you know if it’s fear holding you back… or intuition guiding you forward?
In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna Kay gets real about the inner tug-of-war between your body’s wisdom and your brain’s what-ifs. Drawing from her own experiences and what she sees in her clients every day, Bree breaks down how to recognize which voice you’re actually listening to and how to stop letting fear run the show.
She dives deep into the science and energetics behind fear vs. intuition, unpacking what’s happening in your nervous system when each one takes the lead. You’ll learn how to tune into your body’s cues, identify what’s actually aligned for you, and use your Human Design authority (sacral, emotional, or otherwise) to make decisions that move you forward — not just keep you safe.
Whether you’re scaling your business, navigating a relationship, or standing at a major life crossroads, this episode will help you build the self-trust to follow your gut, even when your mind freaks out.
Fear vs. Intuition: Fear protects you from perceived danger; intuition guides you toward expansion.
Body vs. Mind: Learn to feel the difference between tension and truth.
Human Design + Authority: Use your unique authority to make aligned, soul-led decisions.
Build Intuition Muscles: Start small to strengthen your trust in bigger moments.
Self-Trust > Fear: Confidence doesn’t come from knowing the outcome — it comes from trusting yourself no matter what.
Notable Quotes:
"Are you actually just scared of the change? Or is your intuition telling you a heck no hard pass, don't do it?"
"Fear is your nervous system trying to protect you… Intuition is a calm, grounded, neutral, inner knowing."
"Even if things don't go perfectly, I trust myself to figure it out."
"Your job isn't to silence one because they're both valuable; it's really to know the difference and act from the right voice."
"The more that you listen to your own gut, the less that you're going to need everybody else to validate your choices."
