How do you tell the difference between intuition and fear? What if your gut feeling isn’t actually a deep knowing—but rather a projection of past wounds, wishful thinking, or anxiety? In this episode of The Unshakable Self, I unpack the messy, complicated truth about intuition—why it sometimes misleads us, how emotional overwhelm can distort our knowing, and how the body is our most trustworthy guide.  If you’ve ever second-guessed your gut instincts, doubted your decisions, or felt trapped in fear-based thinking, this episode will help you reclaim your self-trust and navigate life from a place of deep clarity.   This Episode Is Perfect For You If...
